It is well known that black women develop breast cancers which present not only at an earlier age when breasts are denser, but also the cancers tend to be more aggressive subtypes than those found in Caucasian women of a similar age. In addition, the population-based breast cancer mortality for …
Adult healthy volunteers in the age group of 18-40 years, both male and female, and willing to participate in MRI at the University of Pennsylvania, department of radiology facilitiesMild exercise with calf muscle briefly is required, and MRI will be performed before and after exercise.
This phase II trial studies how well multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) works in evaluating cancer stage and helping treatment planning in patients with prostate cancer. Multiparametric MRI may be useful for evaluating the type of cancer in finding aggressive disease.

The purpose of the study is to determine the changes in muscle metabolites by MRI before and after exercise. The MRI will be performed while performing mild exercise of the calf muscle for 1-3 minutes. We are actively recruiting adults between 18-30, 45-55 and 70-80. Volunteers cannot have diabetes …
Specific Aim 1: To image the intracranial artery vessel walls (brain), we will evaluate and compare scans acquired using standard-of-care T1 SPACE and T1 MPRAGE sequences with novel accelerated pulse sequences in patients with suspected intracranial vasculopathy. Specific Aim 2: To image the extracranial artery vessel walls (neck). We will …
To study whether fulvestrant is more effective than anastrozole or tamoxifen in reducing Ki67 in ILC and whether that Ki67 reduction will correlate with alterations in expression of ER and ER-regulated genes. Differential Ki67 effect in this study will serve as a surrogate for outcome of ILC patients on endocrine …
The purpose of this study is to determine if a combination of two drugs, Ipatasertib and Atezolizumab, works as a treatment for residual cancer in breast or lymph nodes and have circulating tumor DNA in blood. Eligible subjects will be those with triple negative breast cancer.
