Filter by:Study to assess the capability of using the Histolog Scanner, a recent large field-of-view confocal laser scanning medical imaging device for the breast cancer detection in fresh lumpectomy margins.
The purpose of this study is to conduct a descriptive feasibility study of assessing how patients retain and understand information regarding radiation therapy obtained from an initial consult visit. This study will also pilot the use of visual aids and assess their utility to patients during a consult. The study will provide a baseline to conduct larger studies that will later incorporate additional patient education tools to assess changes in patient understanding of information received in radiation oncology patient consultations.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the mechanism of action, as well as the safety and efficacy of trilaciclib in combination with standard of care treatment in the neoadjuvant setting of early-stage triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). This study will have four phases: 1) Screening Phase, 2) Trilaciclib Lead-In Phase, 3) Treatment Phase, and 4) Surgery and Follow-Up Phase. After a screening phase of up to 21 day, each participant will receive trilaciclib single-dose monotherapy during the lead-in phase, followed by a tumor biopsy. During the treatment phase, each participant will receive trilaciclib with standard of care chemotherapy. Immunotherapy may be included during the treatment phase, per standard of care. 3-5 weeks following conclusion of the treatment phase, each participant will undergo definitive surgery. A 30-day Safety Follow-up Visit will occur 30 days after the last dose of trilaciclib and an End of Study Visit will occur within 14 days after definitive surgery.
This is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, active comparator-controlled phase Ⅲ trial to compare efficacy and safety of Goserelin Acetate Sustained-Release Microspheres for Injection (LY01005) and ZOLADEX® in patients with breast cancer.
The women with breast cancer and their spouses experienced physical and mental distresses together, nevertheless, the spouses were the significant supporters for patients during post-surgery rehabilitation. Based on the patient and family-centered care (PFCC), it was hypothesized that the couple engages in post-surgery rehabilitation could help women to have an improved shoulder range of movement, quality of life, and couples have better marital intimacy. All the women were eligible to be included in the randomized control trial if diagnosed with breast cancer, received breast surgery, her spouses were accompanying, and gave written consents. Women were randomized into two groups. The control group continues to receive usual care. The experimental group, who received couple-based family nursing (30-60 minutes couple-based interviews) based on the core concepts of PFCC: dignity and respect, information sharing, participation, and collaboration. The study nurse empowered spouses to assist the women's daily rehabilitation with a special workbook by clear pictures demonstration.
155 Pérola Byington Hospital patients presenting early stage luminal BC were submitted to Oncotype Dx® evaluation. Changes in treatment recommendations and costs were obtained from Pérola Byington Hospital. Oncotype DX® incorporation in the Brazilian Public Health System should be considered, as it results in high clinical impact for patient and high economic impact for health system, being a tool that safely and accurately delimits the subgroup of patients who really need AC.
This study will assess the feasibility of using the OnLume Imaging System for fluorescence-guided surgery along with indocyanine green (ICG) dye in the operating room for the axillary reverse mapping (ARM) procedure in women with breast cancer scheduled to have axillary dissection (AD) or sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy.
Sleep is essential for human function, immunity, and well-being. In the general population, sleep disturbance and insomnia cause significant health problems and impact on the quality of life of many individuals. The incidence of insomnia in cancer patients is disproportionality higher, with breast cancer patients experiencing prevalence rates ranging from 19% to 69%. The impact of insomnia on cancer patients' lives can be significant and is associated with depression, cancer-related fatigue, increased pain, reduced quality of life, decreased immunity, disease progression, and survival. To date, breast cancer studies show large variation in reported insomnia prevalence rates, and the severity of sleep complaints in these patients have been difficult to assess. Thus, these issues require further investigation using standardised and validated measures. In this observational study, we aim to investigate the prevalence and severity of insomnia in a cohort of breast cancer patients at the Christie Hospital using the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), a validated measure for insomnia. This study will consist of two stages. In Stage 1, patients aged 18 and over, who provide informed consent and have a diagnosis of Stage I, II or III breast cancer in the previous 12 months will be asked to complete the validated ISI. Using the ISI, participants identified as having sleeping difficulties and/or insomnia will be invited to Stage 2 of the study. In this stage, participants will be asked to track their sleep each morning for 3 weeks using a digital sleep diary downloaded onto their own smartphone. They will also be asked to complete a series of questionnaires gathering information regarding their quality of life, well-being, and health. This research will provide a better understanding of sleeping patterns, sleeping difficulties and insomnia in patients with breast cancer, and in the long-term, help us design better treatments for patients with sleeping problems.
The study aim is to determine the allele frequencies of 1236 G>A and 3435 G>A in ABCB1 and study their association with the incidence and severity of paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy while adjusting for other baseline covariates in Egyptian patients. Additionally, the study aimed at fitting and validating logistic regression models with the aforementioned SNPs evaluated in additive, dominant, overdominant, and recessive genetic models and performing diagnostics for the best model in terms of internal validity.
The purpose of this research study is to learn how therapy for breast cancer or DCIS/LCIS affects cognitive function and beliefs about cancer/DCIS/LCIS and diabetes (DM). For this portion of the study, the study team will integrate the information collected at previous follow-ups to create educational modules to change disease and medication beliefs and improve DM self-management behaviors (SMB). The educational counseling modules the study team plans to pilot test are rooted in the Common Sense Self-Regulation Model, a theory that posits that health behaviors are influenced by two parallel processes: cognitive (i.e., disease beliefs and expectations) and affective (i.e., emotional responses).
