Minority women are grossly underserved and suffer poorer quality of life during and after treatment for breast cancer. Despite this greater need, interventions designed to foster adaptation to disease among such women are scarce. Our recent randomized trial tested the efficacy of a 10-week
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- To estimate the effectiveness of a 24-week diet and physical activity intervention and a 1-year maintenance intervention designed to produce and maintain weight loss in obese black women.
- To estimate the effect of these interventions on changes in fasting serum insulin,
Breast cancer patients ages 18-60 who are planned for adjuvant radiotherapy and who meet all inclusion/exclusion criteria will be offered voluntary participation in this trial. Recruitment will be open for approximately 18 months; it is anticipated that 1-2 patients will be recruited per week until
OBJECTIVES:
- Interview black and Latina women about their reasons for choosing to have, or not to have, breast reconstruction after mastectomy for breast cancer.

OBJECTIVES:
- Compare the efficacy of black cohosh vs placebo in diminishing hot flash activity in women with breast cancer OR a concern about taking hormones because of a fear of breast cancer.
- Determine whether continued use of this drug by these patients leads to prolonged reduction of the hot
The overarching hypothesis of our research is that black cohosh has potential to be a well-tolerated, effective agent for the treatment of early breast cancer. This pilot study represents a first step in exploring this hypothesis by demonstrating preliminary evidence of specific anti-tumor effect of
Investigators will employ the Adherence Model of Behavior to identify clinical, psychosocial, and healthcare delivery predictors of longitudinal hormonal therapy adherence in women with (hormone receptor) HR positive breast cancer. This study is significant because: (1) most breast cancers in Blacks
Pretreatment evaluation of axillary lymph nodes and marking of biopsied nodes in patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer is becoming routine practice. Tagging of biopsied axillary lymph nodes with metal markers, similar to what is done for suspicious breast lesions, is being adopted in clinical
The 5-year survival after a first diagnosis of breast cancer is 13% lower in black than in white American women, an alarming disparity that cannot be explained by stage of disease at presentation. Nonadherence to breast cancer treatment and treatment delays from diagnosis to initiation of treatment
Breast cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death in women. Black women are less likely than white women to develop breast cancer but, they are more likely to die of the disease. Some of this survival discrepancy is likely due to underuse of adjuvant therapies proven to increase
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive breast cancer subtype that does not express estrogen, progesterone, or the human epidermal growth factor (HER2/neu) receptors, and has a low overall survival rate compared to other types of breast cancer.
Unlike hormone and HER2/neu positive
Patients with unilateral breast cancer-related lymphedema will be included in the study. The circumferences will be measured with a measuring tape from wrist ulnar styloid to axilla at 4 cm intervals. The point where the difference between the upper extremities was highest and the control point with
