Filter by:The goal of this pilot study is to access the feasibility and impact of a financial navigation program on improving financial toxicity among patients with breast cancer in China. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the intervention feasible and acceptable among participants? - Does the intervention enhance participants' cost-related health literacy? - Does the intervention reduce participants' financial toxicity? Researchers will compare the financial navigation program with usual oncology care to preliminarily evaluate its effectiveness. Participants will receive comprehensive information support, including: - Strategies on patient-physician costs discussion - Skills for inquiring and tracking treatment-related costs - Basic knowledge about health insurance - Guidance on accessing and applying for financial assistance - Suggestions for returning to normal life and work - Strategies for holding a financial-related family meeting
The aim of this study is to compare between U/S Guided Rhomboid Intercostal Block Combined with Sub-Serratus Plane Block vs type 2 Pectoral Nerve Block in Analgesia for Breast Cancer Surgery by measuring intraoperative hemodynamics, postoperative pain scores and morphine consumption in the first 24 h postoperative.
This study is a prospective, open, multi-center, single arm trial. The treatment group will receive six cycles of docetaxel, carboplatin combined with Inetetamab and Pyrotinib before surgery. By focusing on tpCR (ypT0/is, ypN0) evaluated by pathology, the efficacy of docetaxel, carboplatin combined with Inetetamab and Pyrotinib in the preoperative treatment of locally advanced HER2-positive breast cancer will be evaluated. During long-term follow-up, event-free survival (EFS), disease-free survival (DFS), distant metastasis-free survival (DDFS), overall survival (OS), central nervous system disease-free survival (CNSDFS) under this treatment regimen will be evaluated, and the efficacy-related biomarkers will be explored. The cardiotoxicity of Inetetamab and Pyrotinib in the treatment of breast cancer is also be evaluated.
The goal of this observational study is to find the diagnostic biomarkers in serum and urine from early breast cancer patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - compare the different biomarkers in serum and urine from breast cancer patients, benign lesions and healthy population. - construct the best diagnostic model by machine learning to distinguish breast cancer and non-breast cancer patients. Participants, including breast and non-breast cancer patients will be asked to provides blood and urine during their diagnosis and treatment process without changing the original treatment. When necessary, specimens will be collected during the surgery，without affecting pathological diagnosis.
Breast cancer survivors typically experience fatigue, pain, insomnia, depression, anxiety, difficulty in concentrating, memory impairment, body image problems, vaginal dryness, interest in sex decreasing, hot flashes, gain weight, and infertility. All of these problems affect quality of life (QoL) mainly during the early survival and they become even more important to understand and address if long-term effects could be prevented. The use of PROs in care settings has demonstrated improvement in provider/patient communication, recognition of previously unrecognized issues, as well as patient satisfaction with care. In order to allow to patients the use of the PRO "survivorship concerns" in their mother tongue, it is imprtant to have validated translations with transcultural adaptation. The main goals of this multicentric study are the translation, adaptability and transcultural validation of the PRO questionnaire "survivorship concerns" to put in evidence rehabilitation needs in breast cancer patients in early stage.
This study is to find out that if HER-2 positive and HR positive patients could benefit from trastuzumab and pertuzumab combined with palbociclib and endocrine therapy.
Background and study aims: Nine out of ten women experience some negative effects due to their disease or its treatment such as anxiety, depression, weight gain and low quality of life. Research shows that exercise may help women overcome some of these effects. The investigators also know that most women become physically inactive after cancer treatment. Therefore, The investigators feel it is important that women get into a routine of doing regular exercise before they start their cancer treatment, this is called prehabilitation. The investigators believe that prehabilitation might help to build confidence and help women to continue exercising after their cancer treatment. The investigators are doing this study to find out if a remote (NHS Attend Anywhere), multimodal (aerobic, resistance and targeted exercise), behavioural change (Health Action Process Approach (HAPA), dyadic coping (the collective effort to dealing with the stress of breast cancer diagnosis and treatment), and wearable technology), multiphasic (pre- and post-surgery) intervention is feasible in the short time frame between diagnosis of breast cancer and surgery (less than 31 days). The investigators would also like to find out whether it is feasible for women to begin an exercise rehabilitation programme two weeks after their operation. If successful, the results will potentially enable us in the future to tailor the support gievn to women to help them prepare and recover from breast cancer treatment.
Background: Mastectomies are traditionally performed under general anesthesia (GA), often with the addition of regional anesthesia for post-operative pain relief. Thoracic paravertebral blocks (TPVB) had previously been described in the literature to be sufficient for intra-operative anesthesia as an alternative to GA. A 2021 literature review by Cochrane Library comparing paravertebral anesthesia (with or without sedation) to general anesthesia for patients undergoing oncologic breast surgery showed that TPVB could reduce post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV), hospital stay, postoperative pain and time to ambulation. It also resulted in greater patient satisfaction compared to GA. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of single-injection TPVB done under ultrasound guidance for patients undergoing breast cancer surgery without axillary node dissection. Hypothesis: Single-injection thoracic paravertebral block is non-inferior to multiple (3) injections for oncologic unilateral breast surgery anesthesia. Methods: The current study is a prospective randomized controlled trial of patients undergoing oncologic breast surgery without axillary node dissection or immediate reconstruction. Patients will be randomized into two groups; thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) single-injection or TPVB multiple (three) injections. Significance/Importance: Oncologic breast surgery performed under TPVB and sedation lowers the risks of post-operative nausea and vomiting, decreases peri-operative use of narcotics, decreases pain scores at rest and on mobilization and leads to better overall patient satisfaction when compared to GA. It also leads to shorter hospital stays. Most studies use multiple injections to perform the block. Even though the risks associated with TPVB are low (3.6 per 1000 surgeries), the single-injection technique could reduce the risks even more. One injection is also easier to perform and of shorter duration, leading to greater patient tolerance and less side effects related to blocks performance duration such as vaso-vagal reactions or general discomfort. To date, no studies have compared the efficacy of single-injection paravertebral block and multiple injection techniques as the main modality of anesthesia for breast cancer surgery.
The goal of this pilot observational study is to learn about the feasibility of collecting patient-reported data and stool and blood samples from patients age 65 and older treated with aromatase inhibitor therapy for breast cancer. Participants will be treated with standard of care aromatase inhibitor therapy and will undergo serial phlebotomy, complete patient-reported questionnaires, and submit serial stool samples. The main exploratory translational questions it aims to obtain preliminary data for are: - What are the effects of aromatase inhibitor therapy on biomarkers of aging? - What are the effects of aromatase inhibitor therapy on the microbiome? These data will be used for the development of future definitive studies.
Phi-Bra is a prospective and monocentric pilot study to assess the diagnostic capability of an innovative bra prototype to detect breast cancer, compared to the current standard of care: the mammography. The Phi-Bra prototype is designed with sensors measuring different parameters simultaneously such as impedance and temperature. The bra will be tested on patients without breast lump (American College of Radiology (ACR) 1 et 2 Birads classification) and with breast lump (ACR 4b, c ou ACR 5 Birads classification). The aim of this pilot study is to compare the results obtained by Phi-Bra to the ones obtained by mammography. The Phi-Bra study is classified as clinical investigation category 4.4 based on the European Union (EU) regulation (DM 2017/745).
