Official title
A Randomized Pivotal Clinical Trial To Assess The Efficacy Of Pre-operative Focused Microwave Thermotherapy Treatment Combined With Pre-operative Chemotherapy For Cytoreduction Of Advanced Breast Cacer In Intact Breast
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Microwave thermotherapy kills tumor cells by heating them to several degrees above body temperature. Combining chemotherapy with microwave thermotherapy before surgery may shrink the tumor so that it can be removed during surgery. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy with or without microwave thermotherapy before surgery in treating women who have locally advanced breast cancer.
