Filter by:Brest cancer is the most common cancer in women in France with 52.000 new cases diagnosed in 2010 including nearly 6.000 women younger than 40. The improvement of the fertility conservation of cancer patients is one of the goals put forward by the french Cancer Plan (Objective 8.1). The issue of fertility after a breast cancer is a frequently raised subjects by the concerned couples today. The improvement in prognosis due to therapeutic advances combined with the increasing age of the first pregnancy and in the recomposed couples bring number of young women between 35 and 40 years followed for breast cancer today to raise these questions with their oncologists. Young women have a greater risk to develop agressive tumors requiring a mulitimodal treatment whose general and gonadic side effects can be important and permanently impact the reproductive capacity. At the time of diagnosis, almost 50% of these young patients report that they want to consider a later pregnancy but no data are available on the evolution of this wish over time although it is known that anti-cancer treatments have a serious impact on future possibilities of pregnancy(s). The sequential chemotherapy regimen prescribed in adjuvant or neo-adjuvant situation includes intercaling agents (antracyclines) and an alkylating agent (cyclophosphamide) partially responsible for subsequent fertility disorders. In addition, a chemotherapy-induced amenorrhea (CAI) occurs in 50 to 80% of women according to the studies, the latter is sometines definitive and sequellar of treatment. However, few data describe the time of recovery of menstrual cycles in women with CAI and subsequent impact of fertility. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of cancer diagnosis and treatment on the wishes of fertility before and after the management of cancer of the patients in question, on the recovery of menstrual cycles and the quality of sexual life of these patients. The investigators hope to improve the pre-therapeutic evaluation of women wishing to implement measures to preserve fertility, to assist women wishing to consider this type of project after cytotoxic treatments and accompany women suffering from a change in self-image that has an impact on their quality of life. These results could help to sensitize the doctors to the difficulties encountered by young women and to improve and/or to strengthen the global and adapted care of these patients.
The objective of this study is to expand genetic testing for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome to a broader population of high-risk women by prompting appropriate referrals from the primary care setting with the use of an electronic health record-embedded breast cancer risk navigation (BNAV) tool. To address patient-related barriers to genetic testing, the investigators developed a web-based decision aid, RealRisks, which is designed to improve genetic testing knowledge, accuracy of breast cancer risk perceptions, and self-efficacy to engage in a collaborative dialogue about genetic testing. The study design is a randomized controlled trial of patient educational materials and provider electronic health record (EHR) notice alone (control arm) or in combination with RealRisks and BNAV (intervention arm). The investigators hypothesize that combining the patient-centered RealRisks with the provider-centered BNAV will increase appropriate uptake of genetic counseling. The investigators also hypothesize that genetic counseling decisions will be more informed, and result in less decision conflict and improved shared decision making.
Approximately 30% of U.S. breast cancer survivors experience significant cancer-related distress ranging from adjustment disorders, depression-symptoms and major depression up to 20 years after diagnosis. For rural cancer survivors, lack of access to care, support and stigma associated with cancer and mental health, challenge rural women's ability to prevent cancer-related distress and its deleterious outcomes. However, these barriers may be overcome by a new Internet-based psychoeducational program designed for newly diagnosed women; CaringGuidance™- After Breast Cancer Diagnosis. This self-guided program provides information, cognitive-behavioral and supportive coping strategies in a text/audio/visual format accessed via Internet/mobile devices to increase understanding and provide supportive tools to prevent/manage distress and depressive-symptoms. This pilot study will determine preliminary efficacy of the CaringGuidance™ program on distress and depressive-symptoms monthly and over 3 months, for rural women newly diagnosed with breast cancer.
This is a multi-centre, open label, phase 2, randomised controlled trial of patients with advanced triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) who have received no more than one line of chemotherapy (not including neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy) who will be randomised to be treated with SABR 20Gy in 1# followed by atezolizumab or SABR 24Gy in 3# followed by atezolizumab.
This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of first-line treatment ribociclib in combination with aromatase inhibitor (AI) or fulvestrant OR capecitabine with bevacizumab OR paclitaxel with / without bevacizumab in patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer with visceral metastasis. Half of the patients will receive a combination of ribociclib and AI/fulvestrant while the other half will receive capecitabine + bevacizumab or paclitaxel +/- bevacizumab.
This trial was a retrospective study on postoperative accelerated hypofractionated IMRT (MARA-1) in patients with early stage breast carcinoma, to compare late toxicity after this treatment and standard fractionated RT delivered with 3D-CRT.
In this study, the investigators will analyze the impact of digital PET/CT on the final diagnostic conclusion of the scan in patients with lung cancer, breast cancer, esophageal cancer and a group of mescellaneous cancers.
The Brevera Breast Biopsy System integrates tissue acquisition, real time imaging, and post biopsy handling all during the same procedure. This post-market clinical trial will be performed to obtain clinical/operational data and feedback on the Brevera Breast Biopsy System.
Patient-assisted compression (PAC) allows the patient to participate in controlling the amount of compression force during mammography and is a personalized approach that has demonstrated successful reduction in discomfort experienced during mammography. General Electric Healthcare's Senographe Pristina, an innovative mammography platform that provides both two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) imaging capabilities, offers both standard and patient-assisted compression modes. This study will evaluate image quality and clinical workflow as it relates to use of PAC with the Senographe Pristina 3D.
This study will assess whether the implementation of a combination of ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) protocols and postoperative followup via a smartphone app can offer 1) improved patient satisfaction, 2) virtual patient monitoring without an increase in postoperative emergency room visits, number and severity of postoperative complications, and readmissions, 3) decreased healthcare system costs, and 4) improved patient convenience and reduced patient financial costs. The study will be conducted among women having mastectomy, breast reconstruction, and gynecological oncology procedures. Half of the participants will be assigned to physician monitoring via a smartphone app and half will receive conventional care.
