Filter by:Breast cancer is one of the commonest types of cancers in females. Treatments include surgery followed by anti-estrogen therapy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. During breast surgery, the surgeon removes the cancer from the breast and lymph nodes (glands) from the armpit. Historically, all armpit lymph nodes were surgically removed but this approach is associated long term problems of arm swelling. In more recent times, an increasingly more selective approach is used to treat the armpit nodes. In the presence of cancer spreads in the nodes, an axillary clearance surgery is done otherwise, only the first node(s) also called sentinel node(s) that drain fluids from the cancer, is surgically removed. The identification of nodes using the latter approach is helped by injecting a tracer in the breast and via the lymphatic channels, the tracer is then concentrated in the sentinel nodes. Over recent years, neoadjuvant (preoperative) chemotherapy is being increasingly used to treat breast cancers. This treatment approach can lead up to a large of number of complete cancer response. This in turn can cause difficulties in locating the breast cancer / armpit nodes during surgery after the chemotherapy. New developments like superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIO or MagTrace®) has been used as an alternate liquid tracer to mark sentinel nodes to facilitate armpit surgery. In addition, small magnetic clip called Magseed® has also been developed which can be inserted into the relevant lymph nodes thereby marking their anatomical position to facilitate surgery. Both MagTrace and Magseed can be used to pre-mark the cancer and armpit nodes before the start of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. In theory, premarking armpit nodes using a magnetic approach is associated with better surgical accuracy in the armpit but there is limited supporting data. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the feasibility of premarking armpit nodes, with or without cancer spread, using magtrace and magseed respectively before patients undergo neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
This study aims to evaluate Effectiveness of Investigational Device, Lunit INSIGHT MMG, in the assistance of Detection and Diagnosis of Breast Cancer during Screening Mammography Interpretation.
The study will evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of the association of Atezolizumab plus nabPaclitaxel in a real life context, in order to document any differences both in terms of activity and safety with respect to the knowledge of the association reported in the literature
To investigate whether digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) benefits survival improvement.
According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 108 patients were enrolled and randomly divided into control group (n = 56) and intervention group (n = 52). The control group received routine nursing, while the intervention group received upper limb lymphedema prevention program for breast cancer patients after surgery. Before surgery, at the third chemotherapy (about 2.1 months after surgery) and the sixth chemotherapy (about 4.2 months after surgery), the self-designed general information questionnaire was used to investigate the patient's basic situation, and the corresponding tools were used to measure the volume of the patient's upper arm, the grip strength of the affected arm, and the range of motion of the affected shoulder joint.
The purpose of this clinical study is to describe the patient population, breast cancer treatment, and breast cancer treatment results of adult female patients who have received palbociclib combination treatments for advanced or metastatic breast cancer in India. There are two groups of patients this study will describe. The first group of patients will have received palbociclib in combination with aromatase inhibitor (as prescribed by the Physician) for the treatment of postmenopausal women with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer as initial endocrine-based therapy for their metastatic disease. The second group of patients will have received palbociclib for the treatment of hormone receptor HR+/HER2- advanced or metastatic breast cancer in combination with fulvestrant in women with disease progression following endocrine therapy.
This study investigates the barriers to implementing breast Synoptic Operative Reports. Information from this study may help researchers identify performance objectives for the breast Synoptic Operative Reports to be adopted, implemented and continued.
The study is composed of three paper self-questionnaires to be filled in by the patients included at distance (> 6 months) from their diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer, in order to limit the impact of the announcement on the filling out the questionnaires. After verification of the eligibility criteria, the medical oncologist will present the study to patients coming to the ICL for a follow-up consultation as part of their regular care. The patients will meet with a clinical research nurse so that she can explain the again and answer any questions they may have. She will also give the patients the questionnaires questionnaires and will give a presentation of the questions asked. After this meeting, the patients will be given sufficient time to reflect on, which may extend until their next visit to the ICL, in order to express, if they wish, their opposition to participating in the study. If she agrees to participate, the patient can then complete the questionnaires as well as the complementary questionnaire and place them in a closed envelope to be given to the clinical research nurse. The completion of the questionnaires will be completely anonymous. The data of those who object to the use of their data will be deleted from the database. After the completion of the questionnaires, and in order to allow a benefit for the patient, a semi-directive interview in the form of a teleconsultation with a psycho-oncologist and sexologist will be offered. The interviews are not mandatory. The time to fill in the self-questionnaires is estimated at 30 minutes and the semi-directive interview can last up to one hour. Finally, at the end of the study, as part of her subsequent care, each patient participating in the study will have the possibility to renew a teleconsultation with the psycho-oncologist and sexologist if she feels the need. As the subject of the study may generate personal questions and lead to a request for psychological and/or sexological care.
This study was to develop and evaluate the self-efficacy and resilience of the Breast Cancer Self-Care App in newly diagnosed breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
