Letrozole, sold under the brand name Femara among others, is an aromatase inhibitor which is used in the treatment of hormonally-responsive breast cancer after surgery. Aromatase is a microsomal cytochrome P450 hemoprotein-containing enzyme that catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the production of
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To establish the dermal tolerability and safety of Z-endoxifen hydrochloride (endoxifen) (ENX) gel administered topically to both breasts at two doses: 10 mg daily (5 mg per breast) and 20 mg daily (10 mg per breast) in comparison to vehicle placebo gel, using objective
This study is a prospective randomised controlled parallel trial of SMS reminder versus standard care to investigate whether SMS reminder improves adherence to oral aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy amongst women with breast cancer at 1-year follow-up.
All subjects will be randomised to receive
Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer and a heterogeneous disease and tumor categorization based on molecular characteristics beyond the currently used markers such as the estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and HER2, makes tumor categorization and treatment a
The guiding concept of our proposal is that both the total fat and the fatty acid composition of the diet contribute to a milieu associated with the risk for sex-hormone mediated cancers. Specifically, we hypothesize that an increased concentration of circulating n3 fatty acids will reduce the
Overview The proposed project is an evolution from a previous randomized controlled intervention trial conducted by the applicants known as the Alberta Physical Activity and Breast Cancer Prevention (ALPHA) Trial that examined how a one-year aerobic exercise intervention, as compared to a usual
OBJECTIVES

- haematological function
- liver function
- renal function
2. To assess the changes in cardiovascular parameters
- blood pressure
- waist circumference

OBJECTIVES:
1. Primary:
1.1 To determine the effects of green tea extract consumption (containing 800 mg EGCG per day) for 12 months on the following recognized biomarkers of breast cancer risk:
1. Mammographic density
2. Circulating concentrations of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and IGF
OBJECTIVES:
- To identify new breast cancer susceptibility alleles in breast cancer patients and family controls.
- To compare the prevalence of known polymorphisms in genes involved in hormonal activation and degradation pathways in breast cancer patients and family controls.
- To correlate these
There are striking differences in breast cancer incidence rates between Asian and North American and Western European populations, but within Asia variation is also wide. Incidence in Mongolia is one of the lowest in the world (6.6/100,000) while China, its neighbor to the south, has about three
OBJECTIVES:
- To measure the change in levels of plasma estrone (E1), estradiol, E1-conjugates, and E1-sulfates in postmenopausal women after 6 weeks of daily ingestion of 94 grams of freeze-dried table grape powder.
- To conduct bioavailability research on the freeze-dried table grape powder in
The sites of estrogen synthesis are the ovaries of premenopausal women and extragonadal sites such as fat, muscle, and skin, normal breast stromal cell and breast tumor tissue. After ovarian failure, estrogen is synthesized in peripheral tissues such as fat and muscles and this peripheral
Several independent lines of evidence have suggested that reproductive endocrine dynamics may differ between African-American (AAW) and Caucasian (CW) women. There is an increased incidence of dizygotic twinning in African-American women and a further increase in the incidence reported in African
OBJECTIVES:
- To evaluate the association of intragenic haplotypes in genes encoding proteins involved in anastrozole metabolism pathways with anastrozole steady state plasma levels in postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor-positive and/or progesterone receptor-positive stage I, II, or III
