Filter by:The aim of this study was to investigate the added value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for differentiating low risk patients with breast nodules categorized as 4A using the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS).
The activity of trastuzumab in early-stage, HER2-positive breast cancer, has been demonstrated in many studies, with meta-analyses showing that in combination with a variety of chemotherapy backbones, trastuzumab reduces the risk of recurrence by nearly half, and death by a third. However, treatment with trastuzumab can result in cardiotoxicity, including heart failure, as well as the significant cost of treatment and the requirement for patients to attend the chemotherapy unit for treatment every 3 weeks for one year. Therefore there has been increasing interest in identifying which patients can safely have less treatment. The investigators therefore propose a real-world, single arm, multicentre trial evaluating 6 months of HER2 targeted therapy, for patients with early-stage, HER2 positive breast cancer, who achieve a pathological complete response (pCR) with upfront systemic chemotherapy and HER2 targeted therapy.
The purpose of this trial is to investigate the safety and efficacy of super hypofractionated whole breast irradiation (SHF-WBI) in breast cancer patients treated with breast conserving surgery. Eligible breast cancer patients will be followed for at least 5 years to evaluate the acute and late radiation-induced toxicities, locoregional recurrence, distant metastasis, death, contralateral breast cancer and quality of life.
This study aims to constitute a most complete biological collection for patients treated for localized or metastatic breast cancer (in different cohorts depending on the type of systemic treatment received), in order to describe the basal immune response of patients treated for a breast cancer according to the stage of the disease, but above all to study how the different systemic treatments used in the management of breast cancer modulate this immune response.
The current standard of care for stage 1 hormone receptor-positive (HR+) breast cancer consists of breast-conserving surgery followed by adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) and endocrine therapy (ET) for at least 5 years. The benefit of adjuvant ET for older patients is mitigated because of their increase risk of death from other causes and shorter time horizon to live. Clinical and pathological factors such as low-intermediate grade, tumor size ≤2 cm, and older age have been used in a few studies to identify patients with a lower risk of recurrence that might benefit from adjuvant therapy de-escalation, i.e. omission of RT or ET. Since there is no dedicated randomized clinical trial (RCT) conducted to evaluate the omission of ET, there is clinical equipoise as to whether we can omit adjuvant ET in older patients with lower-risk early-stage breast cancer. Therefore, we propose a randomised, multicentre trial evaluating harms and benefits of endocrine therapy in patients ≥70 years of age with lower risk breast cancer.
This study aimed to evaluate the Pyrotinib in combination with albumin-bound paclitaxel and trastuzumab to neoadjuvant therapy efficacy and safety of Her2-positive early or locally advanced breast cancer
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.
Currently, there are 3.5 million breast cancer survivors in the United States and this number is expected to increase dramatically. The proposed research will examine whether a novel exercise intervention for breast cancer patients who are undergoing chemotherapy protects against cardiovascular dysfunction. Findings may have implications for cardiovascular disease prevention in this population.
This clinical trial studies the effects of dietary white button mushroom on inflammation (the body's process of fighting against harmful things) and immune cells (white blood cells) in postmenopausal women with both high body mass index or BMI (percentage of body fat) and high risk of breast cancer. The body is in a constant state of alert when inflammation lingers at a low level and becomes chronic, as with having button mushroom is a dietary supplement that may improving responses of immune cells (white blood cells) and decreasing chronic inflammation. Information gathered from this study may help researchers determine whether white button mushroom have any effects on body fat and breast cancer risk.
The purpose of this clinical research is to evaluate the accuracy of a multi-parametric model based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in predicting pathological complete response (pCR) after the first cycle of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) given to patients with locally advanced breast cancer, thus allowing early chemotherapy regimen modification to increase number of patients achieving pCR or save patients from toxic effects of ineffective chemotherapy.
