Filter by:This study aimed to determine whether sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) could be a reliable option for evaluating nodal status in patients who had responded well to neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NAST), even if they had initially presented with a high nodal burden. The study investigated the outcomes of SLNB followed by axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) in this patient population, taking into account the response to NAST and the breast cancer subtype.
Exploratory evaluation of the Functional/Emotional Life characteristics during the first year of ongoing endocrine adjuvant treatment with Aromatase Inhibitors in Breast Cancer patients (BCP) with reduced Bone Mineral Density (BMD)
This study aims to examine the effects of lymphedema extremity on upper extremity function, posture and quality of life in patients who develop upper extremity lymphedema after unilateral breast cancer. Twenty-seven volunteers (27Female) diagnosed with upper extremity lymphedema after unilateral breast cancer treatment by a specialist physician between May 2022 and October 2022 were included in the study. Upper extremity circumference measurements of the individuals were performed on the healthy and affected sides. A goniometer measured both sides' upper extremity range of motion (ROM). The New York Posture Analysis (NYPA) was used for posture evaluation. Upper extremity functions were assessed by the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) Questionnaire and the Lymphedema Functionality, Disability and Health Questionnaire (Lymph-ICF). Quality of life was assessed by Upper Extremity Lymphedema-27 (ULL-27) and Quality of Life Measure for Limb Lymphedema -Arm (LYMQOL- Arm).
This is a no-profit, national, monocenter, retrospective, and prospective low-intervention study. It is a low-intervention study in terms of diagnostic additional procedure (CT scan). It is planned to recruit a maximum of 100 women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer and treated with adjuvant breast radiotherapy from 2010 to 2017 at the European Institute of Oncology who meet all the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The aim of the Study is to analyze a population of breast cancer patients treated by adjuvant whole breast radiotherapy to identify the most important cardiovascular (CV) risk factors linked to coronary artery disease (CAD) development, in a cure-without-complications oncology strategy.
TQB3909 is an inhibitor targeting B-cell lymphoma (BCL)-2 protein. By binding to BCL-2 protein, TQB3909 releases Pro apoptotic proteins such as BCL-2-Anatagonist/Killer 1(BAK), BCL-2 associated X (BAX) protein and BCL-2 associated death (BAD) protein, promotes the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria, phosphatidylserine eversion, stimulates caspase 3/7 activity and caspase 3/9 cleavage, and induces apoptosis.
This is a Phase III open-label study to assess if camizestrant improves outcomes compared to standard endocrine therapy in patients with ER+/HER2 - early breast cancer with intermediate or high risk for disease recurrence who completed definitive locoregional therapy (with or without chemotherapy) and standard adjuvant endocrine therapy (ET) for at least 2 years and up to 5 years. The planned duration of treatment in either arm of the study is 60 months.
The goal of this research study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of implanting and retrieving a microdevice that releases microdoses of a specific drug or combination of drugs as a possible tool to evaluate the effectiveness of several cancer drugs against early stage Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC). The name of the intervention involved in this study is: Implantable Microdevice (IMD)
Small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) that target HER2 are routinely used to treat patients with HER2 (+) breast cancer. The main adverse reactions included diarrhea, nausea, and rash, among which diarrhea had the highest incidence. It can reduce the quality of life and medication compliance of patients, and further affect the efficacy of TKI anti-tumor therapy. Therefore, the investigators conducted this study to establish a risk assessment model before TKI treatment, in order to screen out the high-risk population and influencing factors of TKI-associated diarrhea, and planned to carry out corresponding animal experiments to verify the relationship between various mechanisms and the main mechanism in TKI-associated diarrhea and to explore the corresponding treatment methods.
A prospective study of partial breast re-irradiation in patients with local recurrence of breast cancer
The role of Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy(SLNB) among mutation-negative BC patients is well established; however, we are lacking data to assess the role of sentinel lymph node biopsy for patients who are undergoing surgery for prophylactic reasons without proven malignancy. Literature has reported a positive Occult Breast Cancer (OBC) rate of 0 to 11.3% among mastectomy specimens which are removed prophylactically. Majority of the time when the invasive focus is diagnosed in prophylactic mastectomy specimens they are found to be in-situ cases where axillary Staging using SLNB can be exempted; however, when the OBC is identified even in prophylactic mastectomy specimens, axilla should be addressed accordingly. Albeit SLNB has associated complications with it; postoperative pain, lymphedema, paresthesia and rare reaction to the injected dye. Therefore the question here arises regarding skipping SLNB among patients who are undergoing PRRMs without proven malignancy pre-operatively. However, before standardizing the practice in our population we need convincing evidence that the frequency of OBC is low among our patients. By identifying the true prevalence of OBC among our gene-positive HBC patients who are opting for PRRM, we would be able to skip SLNB; as not only it has psychological implications but also adds a financial burden on patients and families due to the addition of an extra procedure and hospital bills; as the financial and socioeconomic status of our population has already declined over last few years due to the economic crises faced worldwide, specifically after-affects are seen in Lower Middle-Income Country(LMIC) like Pakistan.
