Alliance A011401 Randomized Phase III Trial Evaluating the Role of Weight Loss in Adjuvant Treatment of Overweight and Obese Women with Early Breast Cancer

This randomized phase III trial studies whether weight loss in overweight and obese women may prevent breast cancer from coming back (recurrence). Previous studies have found that women who are overweight or obese when their breast cancer is found (diagnosed) have a greater risk of their breast cancer recurring, as compared to women who were thinner when their cancer was diagnosed. This study aims to test whether overweight or obese women who take part in a weight loss program after being diagnosed with breast cancer have a lower rate of cancer recurrence as compared to women who do not take part in the weight loss program. This study will help to show whether weight loss programs should be a part of breast cancer treatment.

Demonstration of a Novel Approach Using Surface-Image Guidance to Improve Delivery of Breast Radiotherapy
CTMS#: 18-0135

The first goal of this project is to validate the superiority of semi-permanent marks used in conjunction with specialized light-based surface imaging (SIGRT) in an effort to phase out the use of permanent tattoos for the investigator's patients. The secondary goal of this project is to validate the superiority of specialized light-based surface imaging for daily radiation set-up compared to standard-of-care imaging methods using ionizing radiation, such as weekly port films or cone-beam CT (CBCT) scans during a radiation therapy course for breast cancer.

Using Holistic Approaches to Optimize Outcomes for Latina Breast Cancer Survivors CTMS#: 22-0043

We will assess physical functioning, daily physical activity with wearable activity monitors, biological markers (serum and salivary cortisol), diet, program adherence, as well as psycho-social measures of physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing. In addition, BCS will be asked to describe their best day possible and their typical day. We will conduct a qualitative analysis from their responses to identify endorsement of themes.
