This trial tests if giving hormone-blocking pills before surgery can help guide which treatments you need after surgery. It is for premenopausal women with early-stage, hormone-sensitive breast cancer.
This trial tests giving chemotherapy before surgery to shrink breast tumors, which may make surgery easier or allow breast-conserving options. It is for adults with invasive breast cancer that has not spread to distant organs.
This Phase 2 study tests a faster, more frequent chemotherapy schedule given before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy) for certain breast cancers that grow quickly. It may help shrink the tumor before the operation and improve treatment response in people who fit the tumor and health criteria.
This study tests whether taking high-dose vitamin D before and during chemotherapy helps eliminate more cancer before surgery in people with triple-negative breast cancer who are low in vitamin D.
This trial studies whether taking higher-dose vitamin D3 around the time of colon cancer (or colon cancer with resectable liver metastases) surgery improves outcomes. It focuses on safety and possible effects on cancer-related health after surgery.
