Filter by:The purpose of the study is to determine if 6 and 12 months of treatment with Tamoxifen at lower dose is superior to Exemestane at lower dose on quality of life.
This study is designed to test the feasibility of two intervention on promoting early screening for breast cancer in rural Ghana. In one intervention, screening for breast cancer, diabetes and hypertension will be offered together. In another intervention, a series of sessions with men will be conducted with a goal to change gender attitudes and increase support to women. The investigators' long-term goal is to test these interventions in a large-scale randomized controlled trial. The specific aims of this feasibility study are to: 1) refine the study materials, including the curriculum for the sessions with men, by consulting with an expert advisory committee and a local committee, and 2) determine the feasibility of the two interventions in four clinic zones in Yilo-Krobo district in eastern Ghana (1 clinic in control, 1 clinic in the first intervention, and 2 in the second intervention). This trial registration is for the second specific aim.
This study evaluates the acute toxicity and feasibility of repeat breast conserving therapy with preoperative accelerated partial breast re-irradiation (PAPBI) in female patients aged 51 years or older with ipsilateral recurrent or second primary low-risk breast cancer.
To explore a reasonable and effective way to reduce the incidence of grade 3 or above diarrhea caused by pyrotinib
This is an exploratory phase II interventional study that initiates standard-of-care anti-estrogen treatment preoperatively for 4-12 weeks (+/- 2 weeks).
This research is being done to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a drug currently known as Azenosertib (ZN-C3) in combination with the drugs carboplatin and pembrolizumab in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: - Azenosertib (a type of WEE1 inhibitor) - Carboplatin (a type of platinum compound) - Pembrolizumab (a type of monoclonal antibody)
This clinical trial evaluates a patient navigation program for addressing disparities in breast cancer care. The navigation program is designed to help improve patient knowledge about clinical and supportive care services, navigate to existing services, help manage barriers to care, and enhance patient skills related to management of cancer treatment. Offering a patient navigation program may increase health equity and improve social needs and quality of life over time for newly diagnosed breast cancer patients.
The goal of the InPerson study is to employ all resources in a digital listening platform to benefit the quality of life of patients (QoL) with advanced HER2-negative breast cancer. The care pathway of patients with this type of disease represents an optimal setting for the implementation of an innovative narrative medicine pathway that, aided by integrative therapies, aims to support and accompain them in their treatment journey with a continuum of care. Moreover, the narrative medicine platform will implement the actual "static" way to define QoL with the classic Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) questionnaires, that reflect the patient status at a certain time point and not as a dinamic entity. It is on the basis of these assumptions that the present application project on the use of the DNMLAB digital narrative diary in the oncology department of the Fondazione Policlinico Gemelli was born.
Doctors leading this study would like to learn about providing cancer treatment/therapies to Nigerian women with breast cancer based on their human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status. This study will focus on the efficacy and safety of anti-HER2 cancer treatment before and after surgery.
The treatment of breast cancer as well as the disease are responsible for genito-urinary symptoms that can persist over time and impair quality of life. Given the improved prognosis of breast cancer, more and more patients are confronted with specific post-cancer issues, and the care has become a major health challenge. Sexual health is a crucial component of well-being and overall quality of life. Vaginal dryness and dyspareunia are symptoms frequently found in patients treated for breast cancer, with chemotherapy and hormone therapy as risk factors. However, the treatment of sexual disorders remains underdeveloped in France. Vaginal dryness is part of a broader syndrome known as genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), or vulvovaginal atrophy, which may combine vulvovaginal (dryness, irritation, burning), sexual (dyspareunia) and urinary (infections, pollakiuria, urgency) symptoms secondary to hypoestrogenemia, exacerbated by breast cancer treatments. Since hormonal treatments are contraindicated, the first-line treatment for GSM in patients treated for breast cancer is the application of non-hormonal trophic treatments (regular vaginal moisturizers, lubricants during intercourse). However, these treatments are often insufficient to provide effective relief. There is therefore growing interest in the development of second-line treatments for GSM : intra-vaginal hyaluronic acid injections, laser, photobiomodulation (PBM), etc. PBM using Light Emitting Diodes (LED) has been proposed as an alternative treatment for genitourinary syndrome of the menopause. The tissues are exposed to light sources in the visible spectrum, inducing non-thermal, non-cytotoxic biological effects that improve vaginal tissue trophicity. A study is planned to evaluate the use of photobiomodulation in 2nd-line treatment of GSM (after 1st-line treatment with vaginal moisturizers) and on the quality of sexual life of patients treated for breast cancer at any stage of treatment.
