Filter by:Background and objectives The Pectoral Nerves Block (Pecs) Type II is a regional anesthesia technique that provides post-surgical pain relief for patients undergoing breast surgery. Post-procedural pain relief is known to diminish persistent pain. In this prospective follow-up, the investigators evaluated whether the Pecs II block, compared to placebo, is effective in reducing persistent post-procedural pain after breast cancer surgery in female patients. Patients and methods 140 breast cancer stage 1-3 patients undergoing mastectomy or tumorectomy with sentinel node or axillary node dissection under general anesthesia were randomized to receive a Pecs block (levobupivacaine 0.25%) or placebo (saline 0.9%). Patients were invited between 9 and 31 months after surgery to complete a persistent postsurgical pain survey.
This is a prospective randomized control trial to compare the impact of two different types of pre-operative web-based breast cancer information on the quality of patient decision making. Patients are emailed web-based information prior to the surgical consultation. Outcomes are assess at multiple time points: 1) prior to the surgical consultation, 2) immediately following the consultation.
The purpose of this study is to identify and compare complication rates between autologous breast reconstruction techniques with and without the inclusion on intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) angiography.
This study will examine behavioral and psychological outcomes of breast density notification using a 3-group randomized design comparing usual written notification to two educationally enhanced approaches.
The objectives of this work are threefold: 1. To evaluate the analgesic efficacy of CWI in women discharged within 23 hours of major breast cancer surgery 2. To evaluate objective indices of patient recovery following anaesthesia and surgery in a 23 hour model of care 3. To evaluate patient satisfaction with their care pathway
The goal of this project is to examine the effectiveness and potential cost savings of two organizational interventions aimed at reducing the use of ineffective or unproven care among women with incident breast cancer.
The hypothesis of this study is that positron emission mammography will provide comparable sensitivity to contrast-enhanced breast MRI in women with a high suspicion of breast cancer. The aim of this study is to determine the sensitivity of Positron Emission Mammography (PEM) relative to that of Contrast-enhanced breast MRI (CE-MRI) in women with a high suspicion of breast cancer
This study is a prospective, controlled phase IV clinical trial among postmenopausal patients with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.The main purpose is to compare the effects of steroidal aromatase inhibitor (AI) exemestane and non-steroidal AIs on the lipid levels of breast cancer patients.
By obtaining clinical specimens from participants with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), colorectal cancer (CRC) and other select tumor types to establish and profile as freshly implanted tumors in mice, the aim of this study is to identify agents with predicted activity in the host patient while also potentially providing them with personalized cancer treatment options
The study, investigates the current physical activity promotion practices among physicians and nurses, as well as social norms toward physical activity during treatment among cancer patients and among physicians and nurses who treat or counsel cancer patients. For this purpose, four large surveys with health care professionals (specialized practitioners, N=300; general practitioners, N=300; oncology nurses, N=300) and cancer patients (N=1200, 400 patients each with breast, prostate or colorectal cancer) with a cross-sectional research design are conducted. Additionally, a follow-up-study with a sub-sample of cancer patients (N=180) will be conducted.
