Filter by:This is an online survey experiment with data collection over 2 time points two weeks apart. This is Aim 2 of a three-aim R01 project; overall project goal is to better understand how messages from different sources interact to affect older women's breast cancer screening decisions. In this current project, the investigators propose to test the effect of combined exposure to a clinician message + a message from another source (i.e. family/friend or media) on older women's breast cancer screening beliefs, attitudes, and intentions.
The present study evaluates the effect of yoga therapy on scarring contractures and shoulder joint motion and range in women diagnosed with breast cancer. A single-blinded prospective, randomized controlled trial will be used.
Patients affected by breast cancer undergo radiotherapy with bare chest and can therefore live the moments in which they undress in front of the radiation therapy technologists (RTTs) in charge of their treatment as an extremely embarrassing one. Furthermore, for some of these patients the relationship with their bodies has indeed changed since surgery (i.e. mutilations, scars), particularly for specific age or socio-economic groups. In this context, sub-standard care in maintaining modesty during breast cancer radiotherapy has been reported in literature, even if poorly studied. Aim of this multicentric observational study is to describe how modesty is perceived by patients undergoing radiotherapy for breast cancer.
Primary care visits are a key aspect of clinical care focused on helping patients to close care gaps related to preventive care such as vaccination, diabetes testing, statin therapy and cancer screening. However, less than 50% of care gaps are closed during these visits and new approaches are needed to prime patients for a discussion during these visits. In this study, the study team will evaluate a health system initiative that uses text messaging to patients in days preceding a primary care visit to prime patients to be amenable to ordering of vaccination, diabetes testing, cancer screening, and statin prescribing.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate if a customizable support material allows to improve the knowledge about the stage and subtype of the disease, as well as the indicated treatments, in comparison with a non-customizable support material among patients with breast cancer. The main question it aims to answer is: • What is the impact of delivering a customizable support material so that patients with breast cancer know and remember the stage and subtype of their disease, as well as the indicated treatments, compared to non-customizable support material? Participants in the intervention group will be provided customizable support material while those in the standard group will receive a non-customizable material.
To investigate the treatment pattern and efficacy of patients with positive primary ER lesion but negative ER expression in MBC using a novel convenient way of 18F-fluoroestradiol positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FES PET/CT).
The LifeChamps Real-Life pilot's objective is to ascertain the feasibility of the use of the LifeChamps solution, previously developed in another clinical trial, in a real-world environment. This solution integrates a health advisory system, and technical intelligence, based on behavioural science, to provide personalized recommendations to follow a healthier lifestyle, to act as a nutrition and physical activity coach, and to guide on social inclusion, among other issues, with the aim of increasing the quality of life. This study is conducted to investigate the feasibility of such an undertaking, assess the clinical impact it may have, as well as evaluate the applicability, usability, and effectiveness of the solution.
To evaluate the effectiveness of Contrast-enhanced digital mammography (CEDM) in detecting breast cancer in women at higher risk.
Breast cancer (BC) is the commonest cause of death in young women. Breast screening in women aged 35-45, at increased risk due to their family history, has been shown to improve survival. However, 80% of women who develop BC do not have a family history. Numerous studies have shown that high mammographic density (MD) is one of the strongest risk factors for BC development. Full field digital mammography (FFDM) can be used to assess MD, however it is not recommended for population BC screening in those <40 years of age due to the concerns about the use of ionising radiation. Safe and accurate high throughput methods to quantify MD in young women are thus required to improve risk prediction and reduce BC mortality. This study aims to develop a low dose mammogram, with quantification of density using artificial intelligence, to facilitate high throughput risk assessment in young women. 600 women aged 30-45, previously identified as being at increased risk of BC and attending for annual mammography at The Nightingale Centre will be recruited. Participants will undergo FFDM of the right breast as usual, however, following acquisition of the craniocaudal (CC) view, the breast will remain compressed and the mammogram dose reduced by 90% to deliver a LD mammogram. This process will be repeated for the right medio-lateral oblique (MLO) view. The left breast FFDM will proceed as normal. It is estimated that each extra exposure will take 1-2 minutes only. Deep machine learning methods will be used to define the relationship between standard FFDM views and their low dose counterparts and determine which view (CC vs MLO) provides the best correlation to be taken forward to the next stage of the research.
Laughter programs are safe, affordable, and age-appropriate activities. Few studies have utilized mixed study designs to look at the impact on resilience in and experiences of participants in such activities.
