Breast ductal adenocarcinoma
MONDO:0005590A breast carcinoma arising from the ducts. While ductal carcinomas can arise at other sites, this term is universally used to refer to carcinomas of the breast. Ductal carcinomas account for about two thirds of all breast cancers. Two types of ductal carcinomas have been described: ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and invasive ductal carcinoma. The latter often spreads to the axillary lymph nodes and other anatomic sites. The two forms of ductal carcinoma often coexist.
Also known as: duct adenocarcinoma, duct carcinoma, ductal adenocarcinoma, ductal carcinoma, breast ductal carcinoma, ductal breast adenocarcinoma, ductal breast carcinoma, ductal carcinoma of breast

Can a drug combo shrink breast tumors better before surgery?
Disease control OngoingThis phase 3 trial tests whether giving fulvestrant alone or with anastrozole before surgery works better than anastrozole alone for postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. Over 1,400 participants will receive one of these hormone therapies for several…

Could breast cancer radiation be cut from weeks to days?
Disease control OngoingThis study is testing whether shorter, more focused radiation treatments after lumpectomy are as safe and effective as the standard six-and-a-half-week course. About 121 women with early-stage breast cancer are receiving one of several accelerated radiation methods, including a s…

Could adding vorinostat to chemo shrink breast tumors better before surgery?
Disease control OngoingThis study looked at whether adding a drug called vorinostat to standard chemotherapy (carboplatin and nab-paclitaxel) before surgery helps shrink tumors more in women with HER2-negative breast cancer. About 68 women took part. The goal was to see if the combination leads to no c…

Shorter radiation after mastectomy may cut side effects
Disease control OngoingThis phase III trial tests whether a shorter course of radiation (hypofractionated) after mastectomy can prevent cancer recurrence with fewer side effects than standard radiation. About 900 patients with stage II-IIIa breast cancer are participating. The study compares complicati…

New chemo cocktail shows promise in shrinking breast tumors before surgery
Disease control OngoingThis phase 2 trial tested two different chemotherapy regimens, with or without the targeted drug trastuzumab, given before surgery to patients with stage II or III breast cancer. The goal was to see which combination better eliminated cancer cells in the breast and lymph nodes. A…
