Filter by:This phase I/IIa trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of chemokine modulation therapy (CKM) (rintatolimod, celecoxib, and interferon alpha 2b) in combination with pembrolizumab for the treatment of patients with triple negative breast cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) or that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). CKM drugs such as rintatolimod and interferon alpha 2b work to modify the immune response and tumor-related processes, including tumor cell growth, blood vessel growth, and metastasis. Celecoxib is an anti-inflammatory drug that can cause cell death and may reduce the growth of blood vessels tumors need to grow and spread. Immunotherapy such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving CKM therapy prior to pembrolizumab may direct the immune cells to the cancer cells and maximize the effectiveness of pembrolizumab in patients with metastatic or unresectable triple negative breast cancer.
To learn if providing a 3-D printed model of the breast can help breast cancer patients make decisions related to their care. During this study, some study participants will receive the 3-D printed model and some study participants will receive traditional breast imaging scans to learn if the 3-D printed model
The present pilot study investigates the feasibility of a prospective larger confirmatory study on the efficacy of Dr. Hauschka Med Ice Plant Intensive Cream for the prevention of hand-foot syndrome in patients with breast carcinoma undergoing therapy with doxorubicin and / or docetaxel.
Eligible patients will be divided into two groups; one will receive neoadjuvant endocrine therapy and the other one will receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
The purpose of this single-site non-randomized study is to identify areas of need related to functional status and overall health, including nutrition and mental health in subjects with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). A decline in functional status is observed after breast cancer diagnosis and exacerbated by treatment. Declining functional status impacts the quality of life and can lead to increased comorbidity burden, hospitalization, and increased mortality. Functional status is assessed by specific provider-graded scales. Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) measures may better assess certain aspects of patient health and symptom domains. Thus, potentially supporting the future implementation of effective prehabilitation strategies. This study explores whether a PRO-based survey will identify the physical and emotional health and the social and financial status of patients newly diagnosed with MBC.
This study evaluates whether adding a polygenic risk score evaluation to standard breast cancer risk assessment tools helps African American and Hispanic women make more informed decisions about accepting additional breast cancer screening and prevention strategies. Traditional breast cancer risk assessments rely mostly on the presence of standard clinical risk factors including family history, reproductive history, and mammographic breast density. This information can be combined with validated risk estimation models to provide a measure of a patient's 10 year and lifetime risk for breast cancer. A polygenic risk score helps to estimate breast cancer risk in a more individualized way by evaluating a patient's genetics. Adding a polygenic risk score evaluation to traditional screening techniques may help minority women make more informed decisions about screening and prevention strategies for breast cancer.
This study is designed to compare the anti-tumor activity as well as the safety and efficacy of FS-1502 versus T-DM1 in HER2-positive, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer subjects previously treated with trastuzumab and taxane.
This is an observational, multi-centre study analysing data from patients treated with T-DM1 within the compassionate use program AL41711. During the compassionate use program AL41711, subjects received T-DM1 treatment for a total of 14 cycles or less, in case of disease recurrence or unmanageable toxicity. After the completion of the treatment, and 90 days of wash-out period, they can be enrolled in the study. After the signature of the Informed Consent Form, all their data reported in the medical charts up to then (as detailed in section 12 of the protocol) will be extracted retrospectively and inserted in the study database. From the end of the washout period following the last treatment with T-DM1, each subject will enter in an observation phase for a maximum of 3 years, or until death whichever happens first. This phase will be prospective after the signature of the Informed Consent Form.
Complete decongestive therapy is proven to be effective in reducing lymphedema related symptoms such as swelling and pain. Breathing exercises, on the other hand, may also help managing lymphedema symptoms. Deep breathing creates a pressure change in the abdomen, which creates a vacuum effect in the thoracic cavity and helps to empty the lymphatic vessels. Thus, we aimed to investigate whether addition of diaphragmatic breathing exercises to physical exercise component of complete decongestive therapy provides further benefits on lymphedema volume, pain and quality of life in patients with breast cancer related lymphedema.
In this large-scale cross-sectional study, we evaluated disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), and clinicopathological characteristics of BC patients from 1991 to 2022, retrospectively. We recruited patients referred to the Cancer Research Center in Tehran, Iran, and their HER2 status, which is classified as HER2-low, HER2-positive, or HER2-negative, was obtained from prospectively maintained registries. we aimed to dive more deeply into the clinicopathological characteristics and survival features of HER2-low breast cancer patients and campared it with HER2-negative and HER2-positive groups. Question 1: Is HER2-low breast cancer (BC) a new subtype in the standard classification of BCs? Question 2: How is the DFS and OS rate of HER2-low breast cancer patients in comparison with HER2-negative and HER2-positive groups?
