Filter by:1. Measurement of serum levels of Retinoic acid induced 14 (RAI14) and Metastasis associated cancer colon -1 (MACC-1) as biomarkers for diagnosis of breast cancer. 2. Study their relationship to disease stages and clinicopathological features of BC. 3. Compare the diagnostic performance of serum RAI14 and serum MACC-1 with serum Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and Cancer antigen 15-3 (CA15-3) for diagnosis of BC.
This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of using See.d instrument and SBS slides for preparation of plasma and cytological samples from whole blood. Forty-five participants will be enrolled (20 healthy volunteers and 25 metastatic breast cancer patients) and each participant will be asked to provide a blood sample.
This study assesses the feasibility and acceptability of a brief electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO) tool that allows patients to self-identify impending delays. The risk of treatment delays according to tumor type and race will be measured by both ePRO and electronic health record (EHR) tools. Data from this study and the association of social determinants of health could be useful to flag patients at risk of delay and due timely intervention for modifiable treatment barriers. The prediction of the risk of treatment delay will be helpful to design another study using electronic tracking systems to prevent cancer treatment delays. The long-term goal of this research is to alert care teams when patients may be at risk of treatment days and to help patients get treatment faster. It was planned to enroll a total of 240 subjects with newly diagnosed cancer. Sixty colorectal and 180 breast cancer patients will be included.
The standard treatment for locally advanced and node-positive breast cancer is surgery following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). Using NAC in advanced-stage tumors and biologically aggressive subtypes can lead to de-escalation in surgical treatment for the breast and axilla. Previously, NAC was believed to alter lymphatic drainage due to fibrosis and tumor emboli in lymphatic channels. However, the theAmerican College of Surgeons Oncology Group (ACOSOG) Z1071 and Sentinel-lymph-node biopsy in patients with breast cancer before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (SENTINA) trials investigated the performance of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) after NAC in patients with proven axillary lymph node involvement at the initial biopsy. In contemporary breast cancer management, particularly in the axillary approach, less invasive techniques are becoming increasingly common. This raises the question of whether there might be a patient group where SLNB could be avoided. In this study, the investigators sought a new method to evaluate the axilla after NAC in patients with known axillary involvement previously. For this purpose, the investigators performed an ultrasound-guided needle biopsy on the clipped axillary lymph node with known metastasis before the planned surgery, aiming to assess the axilla without performing SLNB after treatment. Additionally, the investigators investigated which patient group might benefit more from this predictability based on molecular subtypes and clinical-pathological features.
The goal of this prospective study is to develop MRI-based models representing tumor microenvironment in participants with invasive breast cancer. The main purpose of this study is to analyze the association of diffusion-, T2-, and dynamic contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images of 3T MRI before treatment with the immunohistochemical reactivity of tumor microenvironment including the extracellular matrix and immune cells of core-needle biopsy specimens For this purpose, investigators extract 16145 radiomic features from the intratumoral and peritumoral regions on MRI of participants with invasive breast cancer before treatment.
The liver represents the third most common site of breast cancer (BC) metastases behind the lymphatics and bone. The primary treatment for BCLM remains chemo-therapy and, more recently, targeted immunotherapy. The role of liver resection in BCLM remains controversial. The primary aim of the study is to compare the efficacy of liver resection vs. medical therapy alone in Breast Cancer Liver Metastasis (BCLM) patients.
The purpose of the study is to determine the recurrence rates and survival of patients with clinical T1-2N0 ER+/Her2- invasive breast cancer who have biopsy proven image detected nodal disease treated with upfront lumpectomy or mastectomy with TAD followed by adjuvant therapy. This is a prospective, single arm phase II clinical trial. Patients will be screened and enrolled per eligibility criteria. Patient, tumor, and treatment data will be documented.
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 axillary management of breast cancer patients with operable isolated chest wall recurrence after mastectomy is unclear. We aim to determine if axillary restaging surgery can be safely omitted with no increased recurrences in this group of patients.
This research study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) combined with Trastuzumab-Deruxtecan (T-DXd; DS-8201a) in HER2-positive Breast Cancer Patients with newly diagnosed or progressing Brain Metastases.
