Study Objectives Sorafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor and by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Estradiol can cause the growth of breast cancer. Hormone therapy using anastrozole may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estradiol by the tumor cells. Sometimes when hormone therapy is given, it does not stop the growth of tumor cells. The tumor is said to be resistant to hormone therapy. Giving sorafenib together with anastrozole may reduce drug resistance and allow the tumor cells to be killed. This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of sorafenib when given in combination with anastrozole and to see how well they work in treating postmenopausal women with metastatic breast cancer.

Study Objectives The molecular mechanisms involved in squamous cell carcinoma of the anus (SCCA) are poorly elucidated. HIV-positive and renal transplant patients are at high risk for developing SCCA, indicating that immune suppression plays a facilitating role. The investigators previously demonstrated that chromosomal instability (CIN) was more prevalent in SCCA of HIV-negative than HIV-positive patients. Hence, the investigators postulate that microsatellite instability (MSI), another molecular pathway, might be a feature of SCCA progression in the HIV-positive population. Study Aims: 1. to determine the prevalence of MSI in paraffin-embedded tumor specimen of 15 patients from the Swiss HIV cohort who underwent surgical excision for SCCA; and 2. eventually, to test our hypothesis by assessing the MSI status of SCCA in 15 recently operated HIV-negative patients. Study Design: The study is designed in two steps: 1. Firstly, the investigators will retrieve tumor specimen from 15 HIV-positive patients, with a biopsy-confirmed diagnosis of SCCA, in three institutions. DNA from tumor and normal tissues will be extracted, and then amplified by PCR. Presence of MSI in tumors will be determined by assessing the microsatellite markers BAT25, BAT26, and CAT25. 2. Secondly, the results of molecular analysis will be compared with a population of HIV-negative patients, with the same tumors, using the same detection technique for MSI.

Study Objectives When the DNA inside of human cells undergoes certain alterations (mutations), the cells may develop into a cancer. The cancer cells may shed this DNA into the blood stream. This circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) can be detected by very sensitive, specialized laboratory tests. Measurement of ctDNA has been shown to be useful for following patients with known cancer. It has also been found in the circulation of some patients with early stage cancer. The purpose of this study is to examine blood specimens for the presence of ctDNA in individuals without known cancer who are scheduled to undergo a screening or diagnostic colonoscopy in order to see if the ctDNA test can detect a cancer or precancerous condition at a very early stage before the patient becomes symptomatic. The results of this study should help define the role of ctDNA in the detection of early stage colon cancer and to define how sensitive it is (i.e. how well it picks up cancer when it is present) and how specific it is (i.e. how often is ctDNA found in patients with benign diseases or no abnormalities). Conditions: Colon Cancer, Colon Adenomas, Colon Polyps Location: United States Study Design and Phases Study Type: OBSERVATIONAL
Inclusion Criteria: . * 18 years of age or older who are scheduled to undergo a screening or diagnostic colonoscopy by Dr. Phillip Fleshner Exclusion Criteria: * Prior history of cancer excluding basal cell carcinoma of the skin

Study Objectives Screening programs and advances in imaging have led to more breast lesions being diagnosed at an impalpable stage. Multiple localisation techniques for nonpalpable breast lesions have been developed during the past decades. Specifically, several alternatives to the golden standard hooked-wire technique have become available, of which magnetic seed localisation is one of the newest approaches. Since September 2018, Magseed® localisation is the standard of care for localising impalpable breast lesions in UZ Leuven. In this study, the oncological safety, the clinical safety and surgeon satisfaction of Magseed® localisation will be assessed and retrospectively compared to hooked-wire localisation.

Study Objectives Liposomal formulations are frequently used today in the treatment of cancer. LiPlaCis is the first targeted liposomal formulation with a tumour triggered release mechanism to undergo clinical development in oncology and it is expected that LiPlaCis will improve the therapeutic index of cisplatin compared to conventional cisplatin. Cisplatin is one of the most widely used drugs in the treatment of cancer due to its documented efficacy in a number of tumour types. Furthermore, it seems highly likely that cisplatin will remain an important drug in the future treatment of cancer. However, the drug is associated with a number of serious toxicities that complicates or necessitates discontinuation of therapy - e.g. need for pre-hydration, neurotoxicity, nausea and vomiting. Thus, there is a well-established need for improving cisplatin therapy in cancer patients. One option here is improving the formulation of the drug, so that a more selective up-take of cisplatin administered takes place at the tumour sites. Based on the results of the pre-clinical studies of LiPlaCis, it seems clear that LiPlaCis offers the potential to improve cisplatin therapy to the benefits of cancer patients. In a prematurely stopped Phase I Dutch study a Recommended Dose (RD) for a Phase II study was never reached which was the aim of the finished Phase I dose escalating part of this study for advanced or refractory solid tumors. In the Phase 2 part of this study, patients with advanced breast cancer with a biopsy examination showing a pattern compatible with sensitivity to LiPlaCis or patients with skin cancer will be included.

Study Objectives This protocol corresponds to a prospective, multicentre, open label, phase II study designed to evaluate the efficacy of CPX-351 in elderly patients with secondary or high-risk AML. The clinical trial is divided into pre-treatment, treatment (induction and consolidation cycles) and follow-up periods and consists of a single arm group. Patients will be enrolled at diagnosis to follow the treatment arm. After that will start induction chemotherapy with CPX-351 regimen (14 days maximum screening period). Once a patient have been evaluated for response and recovered from major complications, he/she will start second course (consolidation 1), unless the bone marrow and peripheral blood assessment is showing less than a complete response, then a second induction may be offered. If a CR or CRi is obtained after the second induction course, patients will start the third course after a rest and recovery period. Patients aged between 60 and 65 years old are recommended to undergo an allo-SCT after first consolidation if they are considered fit for this procedure and they have a full matched related or unrelated donor. Patients aged between 65 and 70 years old can be proposed for an allo-SCT in CR/CRi if they have a composite HSCT co-morbidity index /age less than 4 and a suitable fully matched related donor. In patients over 70 years old, an allo-SCT in first CR should be avoided although the decision should be taken on an individual basis. Patients with CR/CRi who are not considered for an allo-SCT, will follow 6 maintenance cycles with modified courses of CPX-351 schedule. Patients showing unacceptable toxicity along all therapeutic phases that, in consideration of the investigator, will be prematurely discontinued. All patients will be followed-up for survival. The study will be analyzed on an intention to treat basis. Bone marrow and response assessments will be done after each induction and consolidation course, and every 3 months during the first 12 months after starting maintenance therapy. Patients will be followed-up for a minimum period of 1 year after the enrolment of the last patient. Additionally, after the end of the trial, patients will be followed-up for 2 years in order to verify survival and the evolution of the disease. Study design allows a maximum of 59 patients.

Study Objectives This is a randomised, double-blind, cross-over study of pazopanib versus sunitinib in patients with locally advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) who have received no prior systemic therapy for advanced or metastatic RCC. Approximately 160 eligible patients will be stratified based on the ECOG performance status (0 vs. 1) and number of metastatic sites of disease (0 and 1 vs. \>=2). The study consists of two treatment periods of 10 weeks with a 2-week wash-out period between the two treatment periods. Patients will receive pazopanib and sunitinib treatment sequentially in a double-blinded fashion. The primary objective of the study is to assess how the tolerability and safety differences between pazopanib and sunitinib translate into patient preference, defined by the patient's stated preference for which drug they may prefer to continue treatment with at end of study. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the reason for patient preference as assessed by a patient preference questionnaire; to evaluate fatigue as assessed by FACIT-Fatigue and quality of life as assessed by EuroQoL EQ-5D; to evaluate dose modifications and time to dose modification; and to evaluate safety.

Study Objectives This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of hydroxychloroquine when given together with palbociclib and letrozole before surgery in treating patients with estrogen receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer. Hydroxychloroquine is a substance that decreases immune responses in the body. Palbociclib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Drugs, such as letrozole, may lessen the amount of estrogen made by the body. Giving hydroxychloroquine, palbociclib, and letrozole before surgery may work better than palbociclib and letrozole in treating patients with breast cancer.

Study Objectives This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of nivolumab when given together with gene-modified T cells and vaccine therapy in treating patients with solid tumors that express the cancer-testes antigen NY-ESO-1 gene AND have spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or distant organs (stage IV). T cells are a special type of white blood cells (immune cell) that have the ability to kill cancer cells. Nivolumab may block PD-1 which is found on T cells and help the immune system kill cancer cells. Placing a modified gene for the NY-ESO-1 T cell receptor (TCR) into the patients' T cells in the laboratory and then giving them back to the patient may help the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells that express NY-ESO-1. Dendritic cells are another type of blood cell that can teach other cells in the body to look for cancer cells and attack them. Giving a dendritic cell vaccine with the NY-ESO-1 protein may help dendritic cells teach the immune system to target cancer cells expressing that protein, and further help the T cells attack cancer. Giving nivolumab together with gene-modified T-cells and dendritic cell vaccine may teach the immune system to recognize and kill cancer cells that express NY-ESO-1.

Study Objectives MicroRNAs (MiRNAs) regulate the translation of RNAs and are implicated in cell proliferation and renewal both under physiologically normal as well as in malignant conditions. Dysregulation of specific miRNAs may be associated with either gaining oncogenic or loosing tumor suppressing functions. MiRNA dysregulation has been implicated in breast cancer tumorigenic (stem cell) and non-tumorigenic development. Therefore, miRNA profiling of treatment naïve and treatment-exposed breast tumors and sequential samples of blood/serum will allow for identification of miRNA markers of prognosis and as indicators and potential targets for personalized therapies. In this proposal, specimens from patients treated in the clinical breast cancer program on already existing protocols (IRB 05091 and 05015) will be characterized by Dr. Rossi's laboratory and collaborators, and the information gained will be applied to develop specific therapies.

Study Objectives This is a research study for subjects who have been diagnosed with Adult T cell Leukemia/Lymphoma, a rare and aggressive peripheral T cell neoplasm caused by the virus HTLV1. Currently, there is no accepted standard therapy for this disease. The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the use of the investigational drug lenalidomide in the treatment of Adult T cell Leukemia/Lymphoma. Lenalidomide is a drug that alters the immune system and it may also interfere with the development of tiny blood vessels that help support tumor growth. Therefore, in theory, it may reduce or prevent the growth of cancer cells. Lenalidomide is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of specific types of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and in combination with dexamethasone for patients with multiple myeloma (MM) who have received at least 1 prior therapy. MDS and MM are cancers of the blood. It is currently being tested in a variety of cancer conditions. In this case it is considered experimental.

Study Objectives Early detection of lung cancer and early removal of the cancer nodules facilitates the diagnosis and treatment. However, not all nodules are malignant. Currently the standard method to diagnose lung cancer is to remove any suspicious nodules from the lung in a surgical procedure. This study is being conducted to evaluate the performance of a laboratory test to detect changes in lung cells that might be an early indicator of lung cancer. The test uses mucus (sputum) which is collected in a non-invasive method. This study will compare the results of the lung biopsy with the laboratory test to determine if the test can detect cancer or the lack of cancer. The laboratory test will not be shared with the treating physician or the patient as the current standard for lung cancer diagnosis is a biopsy. Approximately 330 patients will be enrolled in the study. There is one visit involved and includes the collection of a sputum specimen by coughing into a cup. The medical records of patients who are negative for cancer by biopsy will be reviewed for 2 years to detect any changes in diagnosis. Conditions: Lung Cancer Location: United States, Israel Study Design and Phases Study Type: OBSERVATIONAL
Inclusion Criteria: * Subjects with 0.8-3 cm solitary pulmonary nodules with high probability for malignancy * Candidate is scheduled to undergo lung biopsy procedure to determine clinical diagnosis, such as Bronchoscope biopsy, Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy, fiber optic Bronchoscopy, Needle biopsy, CT guided, Percutaneous Transthoracic Needle biopsy, Transthoracic Needle Biopsy, Open biopsy for Diagnostic Resection or Video-Assisted Thorascopic Surgery. * Candidate who is capable of undergoing sputum induction. * Ability to understand the investigational nature of the study and sign the informed consent.

Study Objectives Cancer genetic counseling (CGC) has been found to have "substantial" benefits for individuals with breast cancer and their family members; it has been deemed by multiple organizations as "standard of care" for women with breast cancer and their relatives. Unfortunately, there is a disparity in access to CGC, especially among women who live in rural and underserved areas. In North Carolina, only two cancer genetic counselors practice in rural clinics - each only for a few days per month. Therefore, in an effort to make CGC more widely available in a timely manner, we propose to test provision of counseling through telemedicine (TM), in which a patient and health care provider communicate with each other using videoconferencing. In 4 rural oncology clinics, we will implement low-cost TM and compare satisfaction and cost-effectiveness between groups of women designated to have their CGC session by TM or FTF. We'll use a validated measure to assess satisfaction by a phone survey one week after the CGC appointment; cost-effectiveness will be measured at project's end by calculating length of wait time for appointment and costs of equipment, labor, and mileage. Study hypothesis: TM is as satisfactory as FTF counseling and is a more cost-effective way to provide this beneficial service.

Study Objectives Symptoms such as diarrhoea and abdominal discomfort are common side effects of radiotherapy for tumours in the pelvis and usually occur within 2 weeks of starting treatment. Once the course of radiotherapy has been completed these symptoms usually subside, but in some patients they may continue and sometimes cause significant problems. It is not clear what processes are occurring to trigger such symptoms. There are a number of possibilities and we would like to investigate these further. If we can identify specific reasons for symptoms being worse in one patient compared to another, then we can try to either prevent or treat these. The aim of this study is to look for differences in the way that the bowel adapts to radiotherapy in patients who do and those who don't experience bowel symptoms during their course of radiotherapy. Conditions: Gynaecological, Urological or Rectal Cancer Study Design and Phases Study Type: OBSERVATIONAL
Inclusion Criteria: * Any patient with gynaecological, bladder or rectal malignancy about to embark ona 5-6 week course of radical radiotherapy to the pelvis who is able to give informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Patients unable or unwilling to give informed consent * Patients who have already started radiotherapy

If blood pressure is brought below 180/110 by anti-hypertensive treatment, subject can become eligible. * Women who are pregnant or lactating at the time of enrollment due to unknown safety of fluorescein angiography. Women that become pregnant during the course of the study may remain enrolled; however, flurorescein and ICG angiography will not be performed until they are no longer pregnant or nursing an infant.
