Filter by:Inflammation has been consistently associated with psychoneurological symptoms (PNS) among breast cancer survivors (BCS). Evidence supporting interventional strategies promoting symptom-self management in reducing inflammation-induced PNS in BCS is limited. Current guidelines for BCS encourage the consumption of foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids. The omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), abundantly available in fish, has a role in inflammatory downregulation. Low dietary DHA has been associated with inflammation and fatigue in BCS. Dietary planning targeting increased fish consumption thereby reducing red and processed meats are components of the major nutritional recommendations for BCS. A critical gap exists in knowledge regarding interventions promoting adherence to dietary guidelines in BCS supporting PNS self-management. This investigation uses personalized meal planning among BCSs (n=150) who are 1-2 years post-treatment for early-stage breast cancer and experiencing PNS (pain, fatigue, depression, sleep disturbance, stress) to evaluate the feasibility of a personalized meal planning approach in supporting adherence to current dietary guidelines for BCS. As a first step in this program of research, we will evaluate the feasibility of an personalized meal planning approach in promoting adherence to dietary guidelines for BCS through evaluating the feasibility of a personalized meal planning approach in a cohort of BCSs with respect to recruitment, group allocation, salivary inflammatory quantification and receptivity to and adherence with dietary interventions. This investigation will also contribute to a preliminarily evaluation of the efficacy of high or low fish diet in reducing inflammation (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-a) and PNS symptoms. Nationally, there is a priority for the development of personalized health strategies supporting self-management of adverse symptoms. This investigation focused on PNS in BCS is an initial step in generating new knowledge in efficacious approaches toward guiding decisions on dietary behavior change strategies that are personalized, cost-effective, and sustainable.
Every year nearly 62,000 people are diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK. One in eight women in the UK will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. The investigators are developing an inexpensive test to accurately predict how breast cancer patients will respond to the standard chemotherapy Anthracycline (AC). Only 15-20% of patients have no tumour remaining following AC, so a method of treatment selection is urgently needed. Breast cancers are currently treated with a combination of chemotherapy, targeted therapy and surgery. However, breast cancers are not identical; each tumour's individual characteristics affect how they respond to treatment. Recently the investigators discovered a new tumour characteristic, a protein which is unusually active in approximately 20% of breast cancers. It was found that a patient whose tumour showed high activity often respond well to AC, and vice versa. AC is an aggressive treatment which can potentially cause severe side effects, including a risk of permanent heart damage. It is important, therefore, to spare those patients who will not benefit from AC the physical and emotional side-effects of this drug. Currently, there is no predictive test for selecting which patients will benefit from AC and which will not. The investigators have shown that an accurate prediction can be made by testing the activity of a protein called 'SPerm associated AntiGen 5' (SPAG5) in tumour tissue. The aim is to develop a clinical SPAG5 testing kit that can be used by hospital laboratories to determine the activity of SPAG5 in the tumour. This information will help guide the choice of treatment and achieve better patient outcomes. In June 2018 the investigators started a three year National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) funded project to develop a lab test that could form the basis of a SPAG5 testing kit.
The purpose of the study is to assess the safety, tolerability and preliminary antitumor activity of ZW25 in combination with docetaxel in participants with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer, and ZW25 in combination with tislelizumab and chemotherapy in participants with HER2-positive gastric/gastroesophageal Junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma
Our aim will be to compare the analgesic efficacy and safety of ketamine and magnesium sulphate as adjuvants to levobupivacaine in erector spinae plane block in modified radical mastectomy.
The purpose of this study is to validate the interest of broadband spectroscopy analysis (femto/attosecond by infrared laser) on liquid biopsies in breast cancer screening.
This is a prospective multisite exploratory study for women ≥ 65 years of age with early stage estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer. These individuals will be treated with 3 months of pre-operative endocrine therapy (pre-ET) with assessment of tolerance to the endocrine therapy by patient reported outcome (PRO) measures (patient surveys).
This trial studies how well a lifestyle intervention works in reducing breast cancer risk through changing body composition and decreasing inflammation in normal weight women. This trial may help researchers learn more about diet and exercise programs designed to decrease body fat in postmenopausal women who are of normal weight but have an elevated risk of breast cancer because of excess body fat.
Post-Mastectomy Pain Syndrome (PMPS) is a chronic pain that persists for more than three months after a surgical breast procedure. It has 11-70% incidence in patients that underwent a breast surgery. It consists of mixed pain, frequently associated with myofascial pain, an specific type of muscular pain. Trigger point injections (TPI) are classically used for the treatment of myofascial pain in other painful conditions. However, there are no controlled trials assessing the efficacy of TPI in the treatment of PMPS. The intervention objective is to assess the efficacy of TPI in patients with PMPS, when associated with a comprehensive rehabilitation program and pain management.
This is a randomized, open-label, multi-center, Phase II clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of margetuximab plus chemotherapy compared with trastuzumab plus chemotherapy in Chinese patients (Mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan) with advanced HER2+ breast cancer who have received at least 2 prior lines of anti-HER2 directed therapy in the metastatic setting (mandatory including trastuzumab). The primary endpoint of this study is PFS evaluated by BICR. The secondary endpoints are OS, PFS evaluated by investigator, ORR, DoR, CBR, safety and tolerability, the impact of ADA, and the popPK profile
Many breast and endometrial cancer survivors do not get enough physical activity. Technology-based interventions can be inexpensive and easy to scale up, however they are not effective for all women. The purpose of this study is test an adaptive physical activity intervention approach that reserves the most resources and support for women who do not fare well with a lower-cost, minimal intervention. The results from this trial will inform the development of scalable physical activity interventions for breast and endometrial cancer survivors.
