Filter by:This study evaluates the impact of elective regional lymph node irradiation on N1 breast cancer patients receiving post-lumpectomy radiotherapy and anthracycline plus taxane (AT)-based chemotherapy. We randomly assign patients having one to three metastatic lymph nodes (pN1) after breast-conserving surgery (BCS) and AT-based chemotherapy to undergo either whole-breast and regional nodal irradiation (WB+RNI group) or whole-breast irradiation alone (WBI group).
This trial studies how well a decision aid website works in helping to make decisions about fertility in participants with cancer. Decision aid websites that provide information about fertility preservation (maintaining your ability to have children of your own after cancer treatment) may help participants with cancer make fertility-preservation decisions.
The purpose of this study is to invite all people diagnosed with cancer who meet the eligibility criteria to complete questionnaires before their treatment begins and at regular intervals over time to assess the impact of cancer and its treatment on people's lives in the short, medium and long term. We will explore a range of factors to determine their role in both recovery of health and well-being and self-management. Although it is known that people who have had cancer are likely to experience a number of physical and psychological problems as a result of the disease and treatment, it is not known what the 'typical' course of recovery of health and well-being looks like, how long it takes and how this can be influenced. We will determine pathways to recovery of health and well-being following cancer diagnosis (initially breast cancer diagnosed <50 years, Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and gynaecological cancers) and identify what factors influence this. This includes assessing the relative importance of the person's illness, personal attributes, perceived burden of treatment, role of the environment they live in, including health / social care and personal networks of support, and their ability and capacity to self-manage. We will identify who is most at risk of problems and what environmental supports and resources people are able to mobilise to support their self-management. We will also explore who has the confidence and ability to manage during and beyond treatment and what factors influence this and whether this leads to earlier problem resolution and restoration of health and well-being. This knowledge will be used to develop and test future supportive interventions to enhance the rapid recovery of health and well-being - our long term aim being to design ways of helping people with cancer in areas we identify as problematic for them.
Women who have undergone breast cancer surgery may develop swelling of the arm on the side the breast cancer occurred. If the swelling becomes chronic it is called lymphedema. This study will examine the effect of a 12-week decongestive progressive resistance exercise with advanced compression on breast cancer related lymphedema. Our objective is to determine if breast cancer survivors are willing and able to wear advanced compression while exercising and if the combination will help to reduce their lymphedema. Twenty-four breast cancer survivors from Edmonton, Alberta will be enrolled in the one-year long study.
This is a study to investigate the potential clinical benefit of G1T38 as an oral therapy in combination with fulvestrant in patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer. The study is an open-label design, consists of 2 parts: dose-finding portion (Part 1), and expansion portion (Part 2). Both parts include 3 study phases: Screening Phase, Treatment Phase, and Survival Follow-up Phase. The Treatment Phase begins on the day of first dose with study treatment and completes at the Post-Treatment Visit. Approximately, 102 patients will be enrolled in the study.
The goal of this study is assess the safety and tolerability of the IRX-2 regimen in patients with early stage breast cancer (ESBC) and to estimate the pathologic complete response rate to neoadjuvant anthracycline-based and non-platinum containing chemotherapy in patients with triple-negative breast cancer who have received the IRX-2 Regimen before chemotherapy.
In this study positron emission tomography (PET/CT) imaging will be used to evaluate proliferative activity in sites of metastatic disease using the investigational radiotracer [18F]fluorothymidine (FLT).
In this study, positron emission tomography (PET/CT) imaging will be used to evaluate estrogen receptor (ER) activity in sites of metastatic disease using the investigational radiotracer [18F]fluoroestradiol (FES).
In this study, positron emission tomography (PET/CT) imaging will be used to evaluate sigma-2 (σ2) receptor activity in sites of primary breast cancer using the investigational radiotracer [18F]ISO-1.
The purpose of this study is to look at the rates of acute and long term adverse events of postoperative proton radiotherapy for complex loco-regional irradiation in women with loco-regionally advanced breast cancer. This study specifically includes longitudinal follow up to assess the incidence of cardiac mortality and second malignant neoplasms at 10 and 15 years following proton therapy(PT).
