Filter by:This study aims to investigate the possible role of rosuvastatin in protection against cardiotoxicity in HER2 positive breast cancer patients receiving doxorubicin sequential with trastuzumab.
The current study is a single center randomized control trial that will examine the effect of closed incision negative pressure wound therapy (ciNPT) versus conventional dressing on abdominal incision in a deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap based reconstruction. Patients will be followed by 30 days post-operatively to compare outcomes including the rate of surgical site infection, seroma, and the scar quality.
This is an early research and development study. The objective of this study is to determine the feasibility of the Imagio OA/US Breast Imaging System to detect complete breast cancer pathologic response to neoadjuvant therapy as assessed by functional optoacoustic features, vascular features and relative degrees of oxygenation/deoxygenation
The purpose of this study is to test an evidence-based intervention designed to increase adherence to systemic therapy in Black women compared to enhanced usual care.
Among ER+HER2- premenopausal patients with N1 who undergoes primary breast surgery, we will identify the patients with a genomic low risk using the multigene-assay (OncoFREE®). In these, ovarian function suppression with endocrine therapies including either tamoxifen or aromatase-inhibitors will be administered for 5 years.
Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignant disease, which is fifth leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Poor nutritional status is one of the common physical symptoms found among cancer patients, in which it is caused by both cancer disease state and its oncology treatment regimens used. Cancer patients develop a tumor-associated malnutrition characterized by an insufficient supply of macro- and micronutrients and systemic chemotherapy treatment that could significantly affecting the nutritional status of these patients by its side effects associated with chemotherapy that may lead to many medical complications that often requires hospitalization and death. An adequate nutritional intervention can have a beneficial impact on the disease condition and also the progress of the disease, as an integral part of adjuvant therapy on cancer care. Numerous studies had shown that the use of EPA and DHA are safe (absence of cardiotoxic effects) and effective in reducing the common chemotherapy-related side effects, such as bone density loss, peripheral neuropathy and weight gain. The question remains arises to whether administration of both vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids supplementations could be used as important nutritional strategy during the active oncology treatment in breast cancer patients. In Palestine, nutritional intervention strategies are poorly evaluated in the oncology setting especially among patients undergoing chemotherapy. Suitable and proper nutritional interventions among breast cancer patients during active oncology treatments could help to improve nutritional status, decrease mortality and improve quality of life among these subjects. Hence, the present study is formulated to assess the effect of combined omega-3 fatty acid and vitamin D supplementation on the nutritional status, quality of life and blood inflammatory markers among breast cancer women undergoing chemotherapy treatment in the Gaza Strip, Palestine.
Many cytotoxic drugs may harm the fertility of young women treated for cancer. The aim of the study is to investigate if the Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone agonist (GnRHa) during cancer treatment can preserve the fertility of young female cancer subjects. Approximately 300 women with newly diagnosed breast cancer and up to 200 women with newly diagnosed lymphoma, acute leukemias or sarcomas will be recruited before start of cancer treatment. The patients will be randomised in between treatment with triptorelin (experimental) or placebo (control) intramuscularly a 1:1 ratio during chemotherapy. The injections may be given once monthly or once three months depending on type of chemotherapy given. Randomisation and study drug is blinded, neither investigator, research nurse nor patient will know if it is active drug or placebo. The only person who knows is the nurse preparing the injection. Patients will be followed up to 5 years after end of treatment with physical examinations, vital signs, biochemical markers, bone mineral density exams, ultrasound for antral follicle counts and ovarian doppler flow, concomitant medications, adverse events and quality of life questionnaires.
The purpose of this research is to determine whether a 16 week, home-based, aerobic and resistance exercise intervention will increase physical activity levels in Black and Hispanic breast, colorectal, or prostate cancer patients. The names of the study interventions involved in this study are: - Supervised aerobic and resistance exercise (SUP) - virtually supervised 16- week aerobic and resistance exercise performed at home via Zoom. - Unsupervised aerobic and resistance exercise (UNSUP) - home-based 16- week aerobic and resistance exercise. - Attention control (AC) - 16-week home-based stretching.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and also has the highest death rate. In 2018, 58,500 new cases were diagnosed in metropolitan France. It affects, in 8 out of 10 cases, women aged 50 and over. Nevertheless, thanks to early detection and improved therapeutic techniques, its mortality rate has continued to decrease each year (a decrease of 1.6% per year was recorded between 2010 and 2018), which allows it to maintain its status as a cancer with a good prognosis. Furthermore, net survival is 87% at 5 years and 76% at 10 years. The median age of death is 74 years. Organized screening was initiated in France in 1990 and generalized in 2004, while maintaining a specific management according to the personal risk of each patient. It consists of a mammogram, plus or minus an ultrasound, every two years from the age of 50. The mammogram is reviewed by two different radiologists. In case of abnormality, a biopsy is performed. Breast lesions are separated into two nosological entities: palpable tumors, often diagnosed on clinical examination (or autopalpation) and confirmed on mammography, and non-palpable tumors detected during mammographic and/or ultrasound screening. Thanks to the generalization of screening, the detection of subclinical lesions requiring surgery represents more than half of the breast surgeries and the challenge of their surgical management lies in a precise preoperative location to allow a complete removal, while limiting the sacrifice of healthy glandular tissue. The metallic location technique is currently the reference technique for the preoperative location of these lesions. For all these reasons, new techniques of preoperative tracking have been developed. Magnetic tracking (MR) appears to be a simple, non-radioactive and non-aggressive technique to use and organize. MR takes the form of a 1x5mm paramagnetic clip made of iron oxide visible on ultrasound and mammography and is detected by a SentiMag probe. The MR began to be used in France in 2017. It is placed in contact with the lesion under ultrasound guidance. It has the advantage that it can be placed up to 30 days before surgery and has less risk of complication. This MR contains iron particles and is 5mm long. It is pre-loaded in a sterile 18 G needle closed with a wax tip. It is deployed under mammographic and/or ultrasound guidance. The Sentimag probe is used to detect MR in a multidirectional way at 360°, with an audio and visual estimation of the distance. It generates an alternating magnetic field that magnetizes the iron in the MR. All of these surgical procedures can be performed as outpatient surgery, which corresponds to a hospitalization of less than 12 hours without overnight accommodation, meaning that each patient is admitted and discharged on the same day as her procedure. Outpatient surgery represented 36% of all surgeries in France in 2018. The objective of the HAS is to achieve a majority ambulatory practice of 70% by 2022. This type of surgery has advantages for the patient, by making her journey safer: reduction in the risk of nosocomial infection, thromboembolic risk and anxiety linked to hospitalization for the patient and her family. It also has an important socio-economic advantage by reducing hospitalization costs and the number of hospital beds required. It improves the working conditions of the staff by reducing the workload and night shifts. It has also enabled a clear improvement in the optimization and efficiency of the organization of resources in the surgical technical platforms. The role of the MR is particularly well suited to this new organization.
The psychological rehabilitation of breast cancer patients plays an important role in the whole process of disease rehabilitation. In this paper, patients with breast cancer were treated with ACT group intervention for a period of four weeks to improve their disease acceptance and psychological flexibility, so as to improve their quality of life. Finally, its effect and mechanism are explored by covariance analysis and mediation analysis. The significant findings of this study will provide the quality of life changes in breast cancer patients and how did these changes happen and the moderating role of social support in the process of intervention.
