Filter by:This clinical trial investigates the role of contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in identifying cystic breast masses as benign or malignant. Ultrasound is a diagnostic imaging test that uses sound waves to make pictures of the body without using radiation (x-rays). Ultrasounds are widely used to diagnose many diseases in the body. This trial may help researchers learn if using CEUS will help in determining whether or not an ultrasound guided biopsy is necessary.
Ciclibiome is a prospective study including BC patients starting treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor (in the metastatic and in the adjuvant setting). This study will focus on the interplay between the gut microbiome (its composition and evolution during treatment), circulating immune, metabolic and cytokine biomarkers (before and during treatment), and response outcomes to the CDK4/6 inhibitor. The main aim of the study is to highlight the existence of a microbial, immune and/or metabolic biomarker of response to CDK4/6 inhibition in BC, assessable by a stool or blood sample examination. Ultimately, this will allow to study new potential combination partners for CDK4/6 inhibitors in escalation trials for poor prognosis patients.
This is a post-marketing single arm, phase IV trial in which patients with high-risk early-stage HR+HER2- breast cancer will receive adjuvant abemaciclib in combination with endocrine therapy (ET) After study intervention, participants will remain on combination abemaciclib + ET at the discretion of their treating providers
The overall aim is to demonstrate that the use of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIO) as a tracer in an ultra-low dose (0.1 ml) is non-inferior for sentinel lymph node (SLN) detection in patients with breast cancer compared to the dual technique using Tc99m +/- blue dye, and to evaluate MRI breast artefacts and skin staining over time.
Checkpoint proteins regulate the immune system; breast cancer cells exploit the up-regulation or down-regulation of these proteins to evade anti-tumour immune responses . It is now well recognized that advanced metastatic BC and early disease are associated with both localized and systemic immune dysfunction .in this study levels of soluble immune checkpoint molecules sTIM3 and sCD40 will be measured and compared with tissue form ,then follow up to patients' prognosis and the relation to markers levels.
The goal of this study is to learn if the Mind Over Matter (MOM) Intervention, a 5-week group program, can help Black and African American women deal with the fears, worries and sadness that often accompany cancer diagnosis and treatment. The main question this study aims to answer is: • Whether the MOM Intervention is feasible and acceptable among Black and African American women. We would also like to find out if: - The MOM Intervention decreases anxiety, depression and physical symptom severity for Black and African American women. - The MOM Intervention is culturally and linguistically appropriate, and identify barriers, strengths, and areas of improvement. Participants will: - Attend a Pre-Program Orientation - Attend 5 weekly MOM Sessions - Complete 2 questionnaires (one will be given before the first MOM Session begins, and the other will be given after the last MOM Session) Participants also have the choice to attend an optional Focus Group, which will be offered after the last MOM Session. Please note, this entire Intervention will be offered online. There will be no in-person sessions or visits.
Evaluate the efficacy and safety of Disitamb Vedotin in patients with HER2-positive or HER2-low expressing, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer
The goal of this randomized, controlled study is to test the effectiveness of digital technology-supported education on patients undergoing breast reconstruction after mastectomy.
Before neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in cases of locally advanced breast cancer, malignant masses in the breast and biopsy-proven tumor involvement axillary lymph nodes are marked with metallic markers. The primary objective of this marking is to establish the precise localization of the tumor which response to NACT partial or completely. However, selecting the marker with ultrasound (US) proves challenging in many instances. Research studies indicate that patients with occult markers are observed at a frequency of 24%. Some studies propose that the twinkling artifact serves as a reliable method for accurately indicating the localization of certain tumor markers. This artifact is deemed particularly helpful for lesions situated in the axilla or posterior of the breast, which may not be visible with US and are undetectable with mammography. In the context of Color Doppler examination, the investigators have noted the presence of another color Doppler artifact which can aid in determining marker localization. When the pulse repetition frequency (PRF) is reduced and the color gain is increased, color noise, termed as color confusion or blooming artifact/effect, is observed within the color steer. While this color confusion tends to mask healthy tissues, it has been observed that the tumor marker remains unaffected by the blooming effect. Consequently, this artifact serves to distinctly reveal the borders and localization of the tumor marker. In some studies, it has been stated that the twinkling artifact, which is a color Doppler artifact and whose mechanism is not fully understood, is a reliable method to accurately indicate the localization of some tumor markers. It has been reported that this artifact will be very helpful, especially in lesions located in the axilla or posterior of the breast, which cannot be seen with US and cannot be detected with mammography . In Color Doppler examination, we saw that another color Doppler artifact, such as the twinkling artifact, could also be helpful in determining marker localization. When the PRF is reduced and the color gain is increased, color noise, which is selected as color confusion and can be called blooming artifact or blooming effect-like, is observed in all structures within the color steer. While healthy tissues are masked by this color confusion, the tumor marker is protected from the blooming effect. Thus, with this artifact, tumor marker borders and localization are clearly revealed.
This study was an open-label, multicenter, randomized study. It is planned to include 136 patients with stage II-III triple negative breast cancer. Eligible subjects will be randomized to receive either the experimental arm: adebrelimab plus stereotactic radiotherapy followed by adebrelimab plus chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel + carboplatin) or the control arm: adebrelimab plus nab-paclitaxel + carboplatin.
