Filter by:The Compass Course (CC) is a group intervention designed for individuals with Breast Cancer. Over the course of 8 face-to-face group sessions, the CC is designed to help participants reclaim a sense of self-grounded purpose in daily life, defined as intentional use of time and energy in ways that align with one's values, strengths, and sources of personal meaning (e.g., inner compass) in the moments that compose a day. Because of COVID-19, in-person groups are discouraged and so we need to identify new ways to provide group-based interventions that are feasible and efficacious.
This study aims to evaluate the effects of the treatment for breast cancer lymphedema. After taking a detailed history and giving a physical examination, breast cancer related lymphedema patients(n:30) will be informed and will be given Complete Decongestive Therapy, which includes decongestive exercises, manual lymphatic drainage, compression therapy(either through short stretch bandaging and/or pneumatic device) and exercise. Patients will be evaluated with limb volume, lymphedema index acquired through bioimpedance device, QuickDASH for upper extremity function, hand dynamometer for upper extremity grip strength and CLUE(Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema of the Upper Extremity standardized clinical evaluation tool) scoring for lymphedema before and after the intervention. The values will be compared in order to show whether there are significant differences between before and after scores, and whether CLUE score is correlated with the other indicators of breast cancer related lymphedema.
Approximately, 20 rural primary care practices to participate in a delayed intervention-controlled trial. Phase I: Formal and structured work flow evaluations to better identify specific gaps in processes of care while assessing what on-going training is needed for adoption of high-quality cancer survivorship care in rural practice. These will be incorporated into the ECHO sessions (Aim 1). Phase II: Conduct and test the effectiveness of the novel KanSurvive-ECHO intervention (Aim 2) and finally identify barriers and facilitators to implementation of KanSurvive-ECHO (Aim 3).
Study of Cannabidol to examine the safety and efficacy of 15 weeks of CBD in postmenopausal women with aromatase inhibitor-associated musculoskeletal symptoms (AIMSS). Investigators are looking to see if patients with joint pain see improvement with the use of CBD.
Postoperative pain is an important issue in patients underwent mastectomy and axillary dissection surgery. Postoperative effective pain treatment provides early mobilization and shorter hospital stay. The US-guided erector spina plane block (ESPB) may be used for postoperative pain treatment following breast surgery. It is a novel interfascial block that was defined by Forero. Rhomboid intercostal block (RIB) is a novel block and was first described by Elsharkawy et al. Local anesthetic solution is administrated between the rhomboid muscle and intercostal muscles over the T5-6 ribs. It has been reported that RIB may provide effective analgesia management for several breast surgeries. The primary aim of the study is to compare postoperative pain scores (VAS), and the secondary aim is to evaluate postoperative opioid consumption, adverse effects related with opioids (allergic reaction, nausea, vomiting).
Trastuzumab-Deruxtecan (T-DXd; DS-8201a) in HER2-positive Breast Cancer Patients with newly diagnosed or progressing Brain Metastases
MAEVA, which stands for Meditation, Acceptance and Commitment towards Values, is an open and circular program, made up of 3 themed sessions, following a weekly rhythm. It is proposed here to study this program over a period of 3 months, which will give participants the opportunity to complete up to three complete cycles. This program is based on the practice of and the processes of acceptance and commitment therapy. These approaches, used for several years, have proven their effectiveness in the management of stress, chronic anxiety, insomnia, chronic pain, distress in the face of chronic disease, as well as in the prevention of depressive relapses and management of impulsivity. Unlike conventional 8-week meditation programs, the MAEva program allows patients to enter the study at any stage of the disease (within, outside the exclusion criteria) and from any session and to participate according to their possibilities. The patient can participate in a weekly session of the program for 3 cycles. During the sessions, it will be proposed to train meditative practices and 3 different themes will be addressed (one theme per session): Meditation, Acceptance and Commitment to values. .
The study should evaluate the biological distribution of 99mTc-RM26 in patients with prostate cancer and breast cancer. The primary objective are: 1. To assess the distribution of 99mTc- RM26 in normal tissues and tumors at different time intervals. 2. To evaluate dosimetry of 99mTc- RM26. 3. To study the safety and tolerability of the drug 99mTc- RM26 after a single injection in a diagnostic dosage. The secondary objective are: 1. To compare the obtained 99mTc- RM26 SPECT imaging results with the data of CT and/or MRI and/or ultrasound examination and immunohistochemical (IHC) studies in prostate cancer and breast cancer patients.
This study aims to investigate the degree of Health Technologies Readiness amongst patients with suspected breast cancer using the READHY-tool.
For women diagnosed with breast cancer, dietary, weight loss, and physical activity have been linked with clinically significant weight loss; decreased risk of death; reduced risk of breast cancer recurrence; fewer cardiovascular events; and improved physical function. The objectives of these aims are to a) determine if the TOPS materials and format are possible and accepted by overweight and obese African American breast cancer survivors; b) gather data for sample size calculations for a larger future study. To meet these aims, we will collect data to see if participants enjoyed the TOPS program and suggestions for changes to the program to make it fit their needs. Other methods will measure recruitment, retention, and weight change. Aim 1: Examine the feasibility and acceptability of a national, low-cost, community-based, peer-led, weight loss program (Take Off Pounds Sensibly, TOPS) for overweight and obese African American breast cancer survivors in the local chapter of a national African American breast cancer support group (Sisters Network Triangle North Carolina, SNTNC). Aim 2: Assess the weight change of overweight and obese African American breast cancer survivors after 6 months in the TOPS program to gather data for sample size calculations for a future RCT (randomized controlled trial).
