Filter by:In this prospective active-controlled randomized trial the investigators will assess for the first time ever the different local treatments of vulvovaginal atrophy in breast cancer patients on endocrine therapy. These patients are currently inadequately treated based on ignorance of possible treatment modalities and stigmatization of vulvovaginal atrophy.
In 2016, a meta-analysis showed that DNA-based risk reporting alone does not facilitate behavior change. However, there have been several studies showing that tailoring care plans related to diet may help with adherence to a tailored diet plan. Risk prediction report displays both Polygenic Risk Score (PRS) and modifiable (non-genetic) risk factors. Overtime, the investigators aim to combine both PRS and modifiable risk factors to have a localized and stronger prediction model for the local population. The risk prediction report is designed to tailor care plans for patients by their physicians or care planner. Focus groups allow deeper discussions in themes important to guide design of the report. This method has been used in previous similar studies, such as one by Cutting et al to understand physicians' preference in integrating genetic reports into daily practice. Studies also have shown that local adoption of personalized medicine and care is hindered by limited infrastructure of information management and awareness, despite personalized medicine being widely adopted in healthcare systems in developing countries.
The purpose of this study is to train Nigerian radiologists to perform ultrasound-guided breast biopsies. Researchers will use mHealth devices to create a sustainable and practical way of training radiologists in Nigeria to perform and clinically implement US-guided breast biopsies into their practice.
The key hypothesis for this study is that collection of the PRO surveys via the Outcomes4Me app is feasible, as measured by survey completion rates. In addition to informing feasibility, this study will provide information about symptom trajectories, symptom management interventions, and early endocrine therapy adherence and persistence. Patients with risk factors for adjuvant endocrine therapy non-adherence or early discontinuation will complete patient-reported outcome (PRO) surveys via smart phone app at baseline and 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks after adjuvant endocrine therapy initiation. Since symptoms and side effects are a key driver of adjuvant endocrine therapy non-adherence and non-persistence, the investigators anticipate that enhanced detection of symptoms via use of PRO surveys will result in improved symptom management and, could thereby support treatment adherence and persistence. This pilot study will assess the feasibility of the PRO survey intervention. In this pilot study, feedback about the intervention will be obtained from patients and from members of the study teams and clinical teams caring for the patients who participate.
This study is a prospective single-arm phase II clinical study. HER2-negative advanced breast cancer patients with FGFR 1-3 alterations who have failed standard therapy will be enrolled in this study once they have signed the informed consent form (ICF) and been identified as eligible in screening. The patients will receive 13.5 mg of pemigatinib once a day (QD) orally following a 2-week administration/1-week interruption regimen. They will be dosed until disease progression or intolerable toxicity. During treatment, clinical tumor imaging evaluation will be performed according to RECIST v1.1 every 6 weeks (± 7 days) and then every 12 weeks (± 7 days) after week 48. Safety will be assessed according to NCI-CTCAE 5.0.
Given the certain benefit in efficacy of adding CDK 4/6 inhibitor to first line endocrine therapy in metastatic breast cancer HR+ HER2- , the aim of this project is to evaluate whether patients without private health insurance may have worse outcomes than privately insured women due to limited access to such class of drugs during their treatments. Prospective observational study with 300 patients divided into two groups, one with patients from the public health system and the second with patients treated in the private service. Patients will be recruited in different regions of Brazil and will be followed for 24 months, stratified according to the use or not of the CDK 4/6 inhibitors.
In the last decades, the proportion of breast cancer (BC) patients receiving breast-conserving surgery has increased steadily, reaching 70-80% in developed countries. Since positive resection margins are strongly associated with local recurrence risk, the goal of breast surgery is the complete tumor removal and most national and international guidelines recommend re-operation, either in form of re-excision or mastectomy, until clear margins have been reached. Re-operation rates vary widely, with population-based studies reporting a range of 15-35%, and the necessity for a second surgery can lead to increased patient anxiety, a delay in start of adjuvant treatment, worse cosmetic outcome and increased complication rates and costs. Therefore, re-operation rate has been included as a quality indicator in several countries. Several imaging-guided techniques have been developed to guide removal of non-palpable breast lesions, the oldest one being preoperative wire placement under ultrasound or mammographic guidance, usually followed by radiography or ultrasound of removed tissue. Newer techniques, such as intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS), radioguided occult lesion localization (ROLL), radioactive seed localization (RSL), radar reflector-localization (RRL), magnetic seed localization (MSL), and radiofrequency identification (RFID) tags have been introduced as an alternative to wire-guided localization (WGL). To date, comparative data on the rates of successful lesion removal, negative margins, re-operation rate and patient's comfort depending on the localization technique used are limited. Further, since some of these studies were funded by the manufacturer of the marker examined, a potential bias cannot be excluded. In the vast majority of the available studies, the patient's perspective with regard to discomfort and pain level has not been evaluated. The aim of the proposed study is to comparatively evaluate different imaging-guided localization methods used for surgical removal of malignant breast lesions with regard to oncological safety and patient-reported outcomes.
The study aims to compare the efficacy of the two operating blocks PECS2 and ESP by measuring postoperative opioid consumption and, secondarily, to compare (between PECS and ESP) postoperative opioid consumption between surgery with/without axillary cavity dissection and with/without implantation of prosthesis or expansion
Anlotinib is an oral multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that strongly inhibits VEGFR, PDGFR, FGFR, and c-kit. Combining anti-angiogenesis with chemotherapy yielded increased response rates in patients with early-stage human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adding anlotinib to standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy in primary (HER2)-negative breast cancer. Patients aged 18 years or older with previously untreated stage ⅡB-IIIA histologically documented (HER2)-negative breast cancer were assigned to receive chemotherapy plus oral Anlotinib. The primary endpoint was pathologic complete response (pCR) (no invasive carcinoma in breast or axilla). Secondary end points included safety and disease-free survival (DFS).
This phase II trial tests whether low-dose aspirin can affect markers of inflammation in postpartum (after childbirth) patients with benign breast disease planning to have a breast biopsy. Chronic inflammation may increase the risk of postpartum related breast cancer. Low-dose aspirin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Giving low-dose aspirin may affect markers of inflammation in blood and tissue and may prevent postpartum related breast cancer.
