Filter by:The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical role of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and the relationship between the occurrence of breast cancer related lymphedema (BCRL) and dietary factors in breast cancer survivors who underwent surgical treatments.
Because of mammography screening increasingly more women are diagnosed with centimeter or subcentimeter node-negative breast cancer (i.e., T1abN0); these tumors account for approximately 19% of all newly diagnosed breast cancers in Sweden. Although the long term relapse-free survival rates among patients with such tumors is as high as ≥90%, some reports suggest that certain patient subgroups may have rates <75%. Firmly established prognostic and predictive factors for patients with T1abN0 tumors are, however, lacking. This is a nationwide, register-based cohort study investigating prognostic and predictive factors in women with centimeter or subcentimeter breast cancer. The study hypotheses are: 1) Established prognostic and/or predictive factors in overall breast cancer are prognostic and/or predictive factors also in centimeter or subcentimeter node-negative breast cancer; 2) The established relative reduction in risk of recurrence and death of adjuvant treatment for overall breast cancer are similar in centimeter or subcentimeter node-negative breast cancer.
Surgical treatments can cause late effects influencing activity of daily living, physical activity, and overall health. Late effects include persistent pain reported by 30 - 50% of women that underwent breast operations, restrictions of arm and shoulder movement were reported in 35% of patients, lymphedema in 15 - 25% of women who undergo axillary lymph node dissection and in about 6% of women who undergo sentinel lymph node biopsy. Lymphedema results in physical impairments including compromised function, diminished strength, fatigue, and pain in the affected arm . The axillary web syndrome is a self-limiting and frequently overlooked cause of significant morbidity in the early postoperative period after breast cancer, which is characterized by axillary pain that runs down the medial arm, limited shoulder range of motion (ROM) . Physiotherapy and exercise in the postoperative period can result in a significant improvement in shoulder ROM in women treated for breast cancer, Additionally, exercises are an effective intervention to improve quality of life, cardiorespiratory fitness, physical functioning and fatigue in breast cancer patients. However, in the postoperative period consideration should be given to the early implementation of exercises because of the potential for seroma and increases in wound drainage volume and duration. There is limited evidence on the influence of postoperative physiotherapy intervention, and instruction program on upper limb range of motion and return to physical activity divided by the type of surgery and regarding complications.
In a retrospective study the investigators defined quantitative action levels based on dose and volume measures for adaptive radiation therapy in breast cancer patients (Zegers et al. Acta Oncol 2017). The aim of this study is to validate these parameters in a prospective study.
The FoRtitude trial aims to evaluate an eHealth intervention designed to teach breast cancer survivors strategies to manage anxiety about cancer recurrence. The eHealth intervention includes educational content and interactive tools, designed to teach coping strategies and/or inert content, depending on the study participant's randomization assignment. The FoRtitude study will examine whether three coping strategies (relaxation training, cognitive restructuring, worry practice) are more effective than general health-related content in reducing fear of cancer recurrence.
This is a multicenter uncontrolled, open-label, prospective, non-comparative randomized, phase II study. Patients will be randomized between darolutamide in Arm n°1 (two-stage Simon's design) and capecitabine in Arm n°2 with two patients randomized in Arm n°1 for one patient randomized in Arm n°2. The trial population is composed of women over 18 years old with triple-negative and androgen receptor positive, locally recurrent (unresectable) or metastatic breast cancer.
The aim of this prospective cohort study is to evaluate the modifications of the biological hemostatic profile associated with the use of endocrine therapy in women with breast cancer (tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors).
Accelerated AC regimen-Doxorubicin 60 mg/m2,Cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2 on day 1 & day 14 of each cycle along with G-CSF support for up to 4 cycles, followed by Paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 in the next 4 cycles is the standard clinical practice in Vietnam for breast cancer, this regimen is to facilitate the dose-dense schedule, patients receive every-2-week therapy along with G-CSF support. the accelerated dose-dense schedule improve disease-free and overall survival among women with breast cancer .Primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of Nanogen's Pegcyte and Roche's Neulastim for prevention of chemotherapy (Accelerated AC regimen)-induced neutropenia on breast cancer patients. Breast cancer patients scheduled to receive myelosuppressive chemotherapy (AC regimen) will be recruited in this trial. All eligible patients receive single subcutaneous injection of study drugs 24 hours after chemotherapy administration in each cycle for 3 consecutive cycles. Efficacy and safety assessments will be assessed based on the incidence of severe neutropenia in combination of temperature > 38.3℃ or sepsis or life threatening infection and incidence of serious adverse events.
The purpose of this study is to examine two mechanistic changes: emotion processing (awareness, expression and acceptance) and cholinergic anti-inflammatory processes (HRV and cytokine expression) through which an Art Therapy (AT) intervention reduces depression, pain and fatigue.
Breast cancer patients scheduled to receive myelosuppressive chemotherapy (AC regimen) will be enrolled in this study. Eligible patients receive single SC injection of pegcyte or neulastim 24 hours after administration of chemotherapy (Doxorubicin and Cyclophosphamide) in the first cycle (14 days each cycle). Blood samples are collected to determine the serum concentration of investigational drugs at specific time points in the first cycle. Absolute neutrophil count, CD34+ count, Cmax (maximum serum concentration), AUC0-t (area under the curve of the plasma concentration time) and Tmax (time required to reach Cmax) will be calculated from the serum concentration profile
