AFT-25: COMPARING AN OPERATION TO MONITORING WITH OR WITHOUT ENDOCRINE THERAPY (COMET) FOR LOW RISK DCIS: A PHASE III PROSPECTIVE RANDOMIZED TRIAL

Cancer Breast Cancer Adult Subjects Female Subjects

This study looks at the risks and benefits of active monitoring (AM) compared to surgery in the setting of a pragmatic prospective randomized trial for low risk DCIS. Our overarching hypothesis is that management of low-risk Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS) using an AM approach does not yield inferior cancer or quality of life outcomes compared to surgery.

ALLIANCE A011202: A RANDOMIZED PHASE III TRIAL COMPARING AXILLARY LYMPH NODE DISSECTION TO AXILLARY RADIATION IN BREAST CANCER PATIENTS (cT1-3 N1) WHO HAVE POSITIVE SENTINEL LYMPH NODE DISEASE AFTER NEOADJUVANT CHEMOTHERAPY

Cancer Breast Cancer Adult Subjects Female Subjects Male Subjects

This randomized phase III trial studies lymph node dissection and radiation therapy to see how well it works compared to radiation therapy alone in treating patients with breast cancer previously treated with chemotherapy and surgery. Lymph node dissection may remove cancer cells that have spread to nearby lymph nodes in patients with breast cancer. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x rays or protons to kill tumor cells. It is not yet known if radiation therapy works better alone or with lymph node dissection in treating patients with breast cancer previously treated with chemotherapy and surgery.
