Filter by:This trial studies how well an imaging technique called magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopic imaging works in identifying breast cancer in women with benign or suspicious areas in the breast. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic tool used to investigate the location of tumors in different organs. Since radiological pictures do not have sufficient information for tumor grades, invasive procedure such as biopsy is performed on patients with breast cancers for diagnosis. Breast tissue contains water, fat, and chemicals known as metabolites. MR spectroscopic imaging may help to characterize the various breast metabolite steady state levels and identify the differences between necrosis and tumor recurrence, which is difficult using radiological procedures such as MRI.
The purpose is to evaluate implementation of a community-based prevention project aimed at increasing early detection and prevention of breast and cervical cancer through education and navigation and to increase breast and cervical cancer screening and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination in underserved Latinas.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, rehabilitation services for all patients were affected, and a term that was previously in use but gained popularity during the pandemic entered our vocabulary: 'Telerehabilitation'. The purpose of our study is to evaluate the treatment process and adherence of patients undergoing telerehabilitation.
This study will be conducted to compare the effects of hand and foot exercises on peripheral neuropathy and quality of life in breast cancer patients taking taxanes
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of end-of-life conversation game "Hello" as a tool to help individuals with breast, lung, and/or genito-urinary cancers treated at Penn State Cancer Institute and their loved ones perform advance care planning. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What modifications and/or adaptations are necessary to Hello for use in cancer populations? - How do different delivery models compare for recruitment in terms of feasibility and efficiency? Participants will: - Complete pre-game questionnaires - Play the Hello game - Complete post-game questionnaires - Participate in a focus group
Breast cancer is a significant issue in Egypt, affecting a large number of women and impacting their psychological well-being. Younger patients and those undergoing adjuvant therapy or radiotherapy are particularly susceptible to psychological distress. Psychological counseling and support groups can help improve patients' quality of life and social functioning. Hope plays a crucial role in the treatment process, as it is associated with positive outcomes and serves as a protective mechanism against stress and disease. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an intervention that can reduce stress and depression in cancer patients. It involves cultivating awareness of the present moment and has positive effects on quality of life. Investigating the impact of MBSR on psychological distress and hope in women undergoing radiotherapy for breast cancer is important for providing effective support during treatment. The aim of this study is to: Examine the effect of the Mindfulness-Based Stress reduction intervention on psychological distress and hope among female patients undergoing radiotherapy for breast cancer. RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS Female patients undergoing radiotherapy for breast cancer who attend Mindfulness-Based Stress reduction intervention sessions exhibit higher levels of hope and lower levels of psychological distress compared to those who receive conventional hospital treatment.
Objective: In this study, it was aimed to determine the effects of health education provided by two different methods on breast cancer and mammography knowledge self-evaluation status, perceived mammography benefit and barrier levels, mammography self-efficacy levels and mammography screening of women aged 40-69 years. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in a parallel group design as a single-blind randomized controlled trial. The sample consisted of 126 healthy volunteers, 42 in each group, who were registered to Toprakkale Family Health Center between January and July 2023, met the inclusion criteria. In the study, 10-unit Visual Analogue Scale, mammography benefit and obstacle perception sub-dimension of Champion's Health Belief Model Scale and Mammography Self-Efficacy Scale were used for self-assessment of breast cancer and mammography knowledge. In the study, while the control group received standard care, the face-to-face education group was given health education and brochures through home visits, and a reminder interview was made over the phone. Health education and digital brochures were given to the online training group via video call, and a reminder meeting was held once. After a two-month follow-up, One-Way Analysis of Variance and Kruskal Wallis H test were used to compare the data of the three groups, multiple comparisons were analyzed with Tukey's test and Dunn's test. Generalized Linear Models were used for group and time comparisons.
This study was a phase IV, observational, multicenter, single-arm, open-label, post-marketing surveillance study for the assessment of AryoTrust safety in Iranian HER2-positive breast cancer patients undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy regimens.
The goal of this prospective, historically-controlled, quality improvement project is to determine whether and to what extent an electronic health record (EHR)-based nudge affects rates of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in older women with ER+, early-stage, clinically node negative breast cancer.
This was a retrospective observational study of patients with advanced breast cancer (BC). This non-interventional study was conducted using discrete structured data and medical record abstraction, if needed, from patients treated at Texas Oncology, the designated research organization and a community oncology practice. The first date of a new diagnosis of advanced BC (de novo or progressed to advanced BC) defined the study index date. To allow for an adequate potential duration of follow-up (retrospectively observed) after the index date over which PIK3CA testing and treatment patterns was observed, a minimum follow-up opportunity of 6 months after the diagnosis of advanced BC at the time of data pull and/or abstraction was required.
