It is well known that black women develop breast cancers which present not only at an earlier age when breasts are denser, but also the cancers tend to be more aggressive subtypes than those found in Caucasian women of a similar age. In addition, the population-based breast cancer mortality for …
The research study procedures include: screening for eligibility, research blood collections, at least two research biopsies, paired research stool collections, and study treatment including evaluations and follow up visits.
The purpose of this study is to determine if you may be eligible to participate in one of ourcurrent research studies being conducted at the University of Pennsylvania. The purposes ofthese studies are to test different methods that might protect people against viruses thatcause transmittable infections or to develop better …
The Penn Medicine Biobank is collecting and storing biological specimens such as blood, as well as health information from volunteers. These samples and this information allow researchers to use them for research studies including but not limited to COVID-19, cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.
For subjects age 18 years and older who are at an increased risk for HCC and for whom HCC surveillance is appropriate, including subjects with cirrhosis or non-cirrhotic subjects with Hepatitis B. Approximately 3,000 subjects are expected to be enrolled, comprised of approximately 2,222 ultrasound surveillance subjects and 778 subjects …
This phase II trial studies how well multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) works in evaluating cancer stage and helping treatment planning in patients with prostate cancer. Multiparametric MRI may be useful for evaluating the type of cancer in finding aggressive disease.
The purpose of this study is to collect blood samples to determine if a blood-based test can be used to identify lung cancers that may or may not also be seen on images of lungs. Additionally, the study aims to see if a blood-based test can identify other types of …
This phase III trial tests two questions by two separate comparisons of therapies. The first question is whether enhanced therapy (apalutamide in combination with abiraterone + prednisone) added to standard of care (prostate radiation therapy and short term androgen deprivation) is more effective compared to standard of care alone in …
Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening reduces mortality among current and former smokers at high risk for lung cancer, and is widely recommended by national guidelines. LDCT also increases access to care and thus provides an opportunity to deliver smoking cessation interventions to current smokers in conjunction with this screening. As …
This is a pragmatic randomized clinical trial in which patients with locally advanced breast cancer will be randomized to either proton or photon therapy and followed longitudinally for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, health-related quality of life (HRQOL), and cancer control outcomes. We hypothesize that proton therapy, as part of multi-modality …
