We are studying an internet-based pain coping skills program with pain education for cancer survivors who have persistent pain. Pain severity and interference will be compared to people who receive only pain education. The pain coping program has 8 sessions that are completed in the first 10 weeks of starting the study. The group that receives only pain education will receive access to the program after 6 months. Everyone is followed for 9 months

We are studying how well radiation therapy with or without olaparib works in treating people with inflammatory breast cancer. Olaparib may keep cancer cells from repairing themselves, making them die. We want to see if adding this drug to radiation therapy is more effective.

We are enrolling people who have had complete surgical removal of a stage II or stage III colorectal cancer. We will draw blood samples for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to find out if this blood test can be used to detect recurrence of the cancer. People will be followed for at least 3 years and up to 5 years.

We are comparing treatment of early stage, hormone positive breast cancer with and without radiation therapy. One group will receive radiation therapy with endocrine therapy and the other group will receive endocrine therapy alone. We want to find out if there is any difference in how often breast cancer recurs in the same breast.

This is a treatment protocol for an unrelated umbilical cord blood transplant (UCBT) using a myeloablative preparative regimen for the treatment of hematological diseases, including, but not limited to acute leukemias. There is no research element except the collection of routine clinical data.

This study focuses on testing new treatments on prostate tissue that has been removed during surgery. All testing is done in a lab setting to help develop and improve potential treatment options.

This phase I/II trial evaluates the highest safe dose, side effects, and possible benefits of tegavivint in treating children, adolescents, and young adults with recurrent or refractory solid tumors, including lymphomas and desmoid tumors.

This study is looking at how well serum tumor markers work to monitor people who have hormone receptor positive Her2 negative breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body. We want to see if using the markers (from a blood sample) is as good as using scans to monitor disease.

We are studying the use of pembrolizumab to treat people who have stage IV non-squamous, non-small cell lung cancer. Pembrolizumab may help the body’s own immune system attack cancer so tumor cells cannot grow and spread. We are looking at when it is most effective to give the pembrolizumab and when to combine it with other anticancer drugs, pemetrexed and carboplatin.

This study uses different drug combinations to treat women who have endometrial cancer that has come back or has not responded to treatment. The drugs have different ways of stopping the growth of tumor cells and we are looking to see if different combinations are more effective.

We are studying the addition of a drug to the treatment for people who have triple-negative breast cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells. Some people will receive the current treatment and others will have the current treatment with carboplatin added. The results of the two treatments will be compared.
