This is a 3 month single arm pilot and feasibility study designed to examine the impact of an intermittent fasting lifestyle weight loss intervention on pre-specified clinical milestones (change in body weight, adherence to the fasting program, and moderate-to vigorous physical activity, MVPA) in adults with overweight and obesity and breast cancer after they have completed their cancer treatment. The investigators will also evaluate feasibility of recruitment and retention of study participants, safety of the intervention, and obtain feedback from participants to improve the program. Participants will receive a 3 month lifestyle weight loss program focusing on a 4:3 intermittent fasting paradigm (3 modified fast days per week) and support to increase physical activity to 150 minutes per week. Outcome measures will be assessed at the end of the 3 month intervention (primary endpoint) and after a 3 month weight maintenance follow up phase. Read Less

This study will assess if the CARES (Cancer Advocacy, Resources, Education and Support) intervention improves time to start of treatment after diagnosis and time to treatment completion for solid tumors (ex: lung, head, neck, thyroid, cervical, breast, bladder, colon, and rectal cancers) in rural patients.

Aging is the greatest risk factor for cancer incidence and mortality. Geriatric screening is recommended to help with treatment discussions, inform intensity of treatment, and identify supportive care needs. Despite a strong evidence base, geriatric assessments are not implemented routinely in oncologic clinics. Similarly, important information on social determinants of health, mental health, and health behaviors are inconsistently assessed, and almost never in an integrated fashion. In an effort to support clinicians delivering the recommended goal-concordant care, the investigators will integrate assessment of geriatric issues, health behaviors, mental health, and social determinants of health into an efficient, actionable contextual assessment system for older cancer patients called Integrated Aging Assessment for Action for Cancer Patients (IA3-CP). The investigators will use D\&I strategies including co-creation engagement approaches and form-function methods to develop workflow processes that feasibly integrate the IA3-CP into usual initial assessment with the oncology team. Our objective is to develop and conduct a randomized pilot of the IA3-CP system and hypothesize that our results will show it can be implemented consistently, acted on, improve quality of care, and enhance patient-provider interactions.

This is a multi-institutional, single arm, open label, Phase Ib/II study of abemaciclib in combination with elacestrant in patients with HR+/Her2- breast cancer metastatic to the brain. Patients may have received up to two prior lines of systemic chemotherapy for locally advanced or metastatic disease. There will be no limit on prior use of endocrine therapy including aromatase inhibitors, tamoxifen and fulvestrant, given a documented clinical benefit of elacestrant in this setting. Read Less

In the setting of radiotherapy as part of breast-conservation therapy for patients with early stage breast cancer, the novel planning and delivery method of intensity modulated radiotherapy is an effective and safe alternative to the commonly-used standard 3D-conformal external beam radiotherapy, spares more normal breast and lung tissue, and may lead to improved clinical outcomes.
