Clinical Trials

The purpose of this study is to analyze the prevalence of mood disorders in newly-diagnosed breast cancer patients with use of specific questionnaires, aimed to diagnose clinically significant depression and anxiety, at a rural community hospital.

This project will be a pilot study aiming to describe the change of skin quality after initiation of Aromatase Inhibitor therapy in Breast Cancer survivors through use of VISIA CA technology and skincare intervention.  

The purpose of this study is to develop a breast cancer survivor (BCS) multiscale omics database that includes a complete fecal metagenome (gut microbiome) and fecal metabolome characterization. 

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Reishi mushroom extracts on aromatase-inhibitor toxicities, specifically fatigue, and arthralgias, compared to placebo.  Other aims include examining the side effects of Reishi mushroom extracts and its impact on quality of life and mood, as compared to placebo. 

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a cognitive behavioral multicomponent treatment program in improving pain, mood, and functioning while reducing medication non-adherence in breast cancer patients with Aromatase Inhibitor Associated Musculoskeletal Symptoms (AIMSS).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate sexual well-being in minority women who have been diagnosed with cancer, and their partners. 

This study aims to compare an additional support program (text message reminders and/or telephone-based counseling) with usual care in making sure breast cancer patients take their endocrine therapy medication as prescribed (medication adherence). 

The purpose of this research study is to understand the views and experiences of Non-Hispanic Black women with a diagnosis or who support a family member with breast or ovarian cancer. We also want to know participant thoughts on genetic testing for cancer risk and research participation.

This is a qualitative interview study. Study participation involved talking on the phone or videoconference (e.g., Zoom) for about 1 - 1 1/2 hours with a researcher.

This study will recruit breast cancer patients and survivors to take part in an ongoing study of the issues and concerns surrounding breast cancer survivorship. We will recruit both newly diagnosed patients as well as patients diagnosed within the past 5 years. Those who consent to the study will be asked to provide a series of questionnaires and blood samples over time. These data/samples will create a repository that will enable us to address many specific hypotheses both now and in the future. As part of the study DNA samples will be genotyped for common genetic variants ...

The purpose of this study is to better understand the anatomy of the lymphatic structure and the molecular process that leads to the over production of lymph fluid.  This proposal will begin intense lymphedema screening and identify baseline characteristics potentially predisposing someone to lymphedema, and identify molecular markers that might be altered to prevent lymphedema. 

The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility and perceived effectiveness of acupuncture for breast cancer-related symptoms.

This study is a process evaluation of a digital storytelling (DST) intervention. Because the DST intervention has not yet been developed, it is appropriate to use qualitative methods to assess the process.

This study will recruit gifted storytellers for a digital storytelling intervention on breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer. A digital storytelling intervention will be developed to improve breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screening rates among Hispanic, Spanish speaking individuals. Additionally, to conduct a qualitative assessment of the digital storytelling workshop.

This study is being done to determine the long-term effects of different kinds of breast surgeries on women’s health-related quality of life from the patient’s perspective. The information will also provide information to assist in improving the quality of care given to patients.

The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of aerobic exercise training, delivered in a community-based setting, for improving cognitive function in post-menopausal Breast Cancer Survivors (BCS).
