Filter by:Aromatase inhibitors (AI) are frequently used to treat hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer, but they have multiple adverse effects (eg, arthralgia), resulting in premature therapy discontinuation/switch. Physical activity (PA) can attenuate these negative effects and improve quality of life (QoL). However, most cancer survivors fail to perform/sustain adequate PA levels, especially in the long-term. Theory-based interventions, using evidence-based behavior change techniques, aimed at promoting long-term behavior change in breast cancer survivors are effective, but remain scarce and fail to promote self-regulatory skills and better-quality motivations associated with sustained PA adoption. PAC-WOMAN will test the long-term effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of two state of the art, group-based interventions encouraging sustained changes in PA, sedentary behavior, and QoL. Additional aims include examining the impact of both interventions on secondary outcomes (eg, body composition, physical function), and key moderators/mediators of short and long-term changes in primary outcomes. A 3-arm pragmatic randomized controlled trial, involving a 4-month intervention and a 12-month follow-up, will be implemented, in a real exercise setting, to compare: 1) brief PA counseling/motivational intervention; 2) structured exercise program vs. waiting-list control group. Study recruitment goal is 122 hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer survivors (stage I-III), on AI therapy (post-primary treatment completion) ≥1 month, performance status 0-1. Outcome measures will be obtained at baseline, 4 months (i.e., post-intervention), 10 and 16 months. Process evaluation, analyzing implementation determinants, will also be conducted. PAC-WOMAN is expected to have a relevant impact on participants PA and QoL, and on the improvement of interventions designed to promote sustained adherence to active lifestyle behaviors, facilitating its translation to community settings.
This is an open-label, single-center study to evaluate the mass-balance and pharmacokinetics of GB491 in 4-8 healthy male subjects receiving a single oral 150mg dose of GB491 containing approximately 50 uCi of [14C]GB491. This study will help understand how the drug appears in the blood, urine, and feces after it is administered. In addition, this study will also evaluate the safety of a single dose of [14C]GB491 when given to healthy subjects.
20 participants are expected to be enrolled for this open，Single-armed clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the recombinant herpes simplex virus Ⅰ, R130 in patients with advanced solid tumors.
The purpose of this research study is to assess the feasibility of using a different dye and imaging device, indocyanine green (ICG)-fluorescent imaging through the Asimov Imaging Platform, to perform sentinel lymph node biopsy. Participants in this research study will be undergoing a sentinel lymph node biopsy as part of surgical treatment for breast cancer. Active participation will last through the post-operative visit.
Mammography is a two-dimensional imaging technique which involves the tissues overlapping under the projective image; dense glandular tissue above or below the lesion can reduce the visibility of the lesion. The trouble could be the interpretation of the image obtained which may lead to the inability to visualize a fist stage cancer and the probability that to a healthy person will be diagnosed a pathology that is not present (false positive). The introduction of an almost three-dimensional technique imaging called breast digital tomosynthesis (DBT) can overcome most limitations. In the last 5 years image analysis methods based on Artificial Intelligence (, AI) have also been massively introduced in breast cancer detection. The study is a prospective observational study based on Artificial intelligence whose the mail goal is to develop a method to identify a lesion.
The purpose of this study is to determine if pharmacokinetics of docetaxel is modified by the body composition (assessed by the BMI but also by CT-scan) in patients treated by docetaxel as adjuvant treatment of a localized breast cancer
This study screened and identified effective methylation markers in breast cancer, established a detection system for early screening and early diagnosis, and provided a research basis for the embryonic form of non-invasive breast cancer early screening products in later incubation. Then, the plasma ctDNA polygene methylation test was performed for early and middle stage breast cancer patients who were to receive radical surgery for initial treatment, and the predictive effect of postoperative plasma ctDNA methylation status on postoperative prognosis of breast cancer was discussed. In addition, the application value of dynamic monitoring of ctDNA methylation in plasma for postoperative recurrence risk monitoring was explored through regular postoperative follow-up of stage I-III breast cancer patients undergoing radical surgery.
Women with breast and/or ovarian cancer or with a family history carried these pathologies can makeo genetic counseling in order to investigate whether they are carriers of the BRCA1/2 genetic mutation. This mutation exposes them to develop breast cancer from 50 to 80% and from 27 to 65% of developing ovarian cancer. BRCA1/2 mutations are inherited as an autosomal dominant manner and therefore there is a 50% probability of transmitting the mutation to the progeny. For this reason, women who have BRCA 1/2 mutation may be less likely to want children than those who test negative. The decision to have children could worry both for the probability to transfer the genetic mutation or because the parenthood could be compromised by the illness and/or by premature death. In previous studies, the psychological condition of patients with BRCA 1/2 mutations, with or without children, was only partially investigated. For this reason the main goal of the study is to deeply investigate the specific psychological condition, with particular attention to the guilt feelings on the possibility to transfer the genetic mutation to the progeny. In this wai it could be useful to development a therapeutic strategies aimed at the best adaptation of the patients to the new health condition.
This is an observational, prospective, and transversal study, designed to evaluate the effectiveness of CELBREA® in women from the local community coming to consult at the Breast Pathology Unit of La Paz Hospital (Madrid, Spain), because of discomfort, breast symptoms, or because they have been sent for specialized evaluation because of a diagnostic doubt, providing actualized data on the effectiveness of the device within the context of the real-world scenario. Because of its transverse nature, the observation period will be limited to the necessary amount of time to perform the initial consult, additional tests when prescribed by the physician, and the CELBREA® test.
The purpose of this research study is to learn more about the effects of using proton radiation therapy delivered over a shorter course of treatment (3 weeks) compared with a longer, standard course of treatment (5 weeks) for women with breast cancer who require radiotherapy to the breast/chest wall and regional lymph nodes.
