Filter by:This research study is exploring chemotherapy in combination with immunotherapy (a therapy that uses the body's own immune system to control cancer) as a possible treatment for metastatic hormone receptor positive breast cancer.
The investigators hope to gain a better understanding of the influence of affect reactivity and regulation on the decision of newly diagnosed breast cancer patients to choose bilateral mastectomy. The information gained can help develop an intervention to enable management of cancer-related anxiety by non-surgical means.
The aim of this study is to assess the effect of receiving information about the benefits and harms of mammography screening on informed choice, decisional conflict, intention to participate in the Early Detection of Breast Cancer Program (EDBCP), and satisfaction. The primary outcome is informed choice about breast screening (adequate knowledge, and consistency between attitudes and intentions). The sample of participants is composed by 400 women from Catalonia and the Canary Islands (Spain) who will receive their first invitation to participate in the EDBCP of the Public Health Service in a period of 2-4 months.
Background: Endocrine therapy is an effective and safe treatment for hormone receptor positive breast cancer. Unfortunately , endocrine treatment resistance occurs and there is an urgent need for treatment alternative. Laboratory researches and clinical case reports indicate that hormone receptor-high expressed breast cancer patients may potentially benefit from high-dose Tamoxifen or high-dose Tamoxifen plus chemotherapy , providing a new option for treatment strategy. Aim: To explore the efficacy and safety of high-dose Tamoxifen to standard hormone receptor-high expressed endocrine therapy resisted breast cancer. Methods: Eligible patients will be treated with tamoxifen 100 mg/d or high-dose Tamoxifen(100 mg/d ) plus chemotherapy. Blood and tumor samples will be obtained from the patients.Evaluate curative effect every 3 months. Primary endpoint: progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints: objective response rate (ORR), clinical benefit rate (CBR), overall survival (OS) and safety. Exploratory endpointsincluded the efficacy predictive value of the 18F-FES SUVmax.
This is a prospective observational study designed to determine the feasibility and acceptability of objectively measuring physical activity, sedentary time, and sleep using the Fitbit Charge HR wristband. 50 patients who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and are planning to initiate chemotherapy will be invited to participate in this study, and we will measure general and breast-specific quality-of-life using Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) measures for 3-6 months after completion of chemotherapy.
This research will examine the feasibility of conducting a strict whole-food, plant-based dietary intervention in women with stable metastatic breast cancer currently undergoing conventional treatments. In addition, this research will provide preliminary data on dietary intakes and the effect of plant-based nutrition on numerous outcomes reflecting cancer prognosis and overall health using advanced imaging, various blood biomarkers linked to cancer progression, and numerous symptom questionnaires.
Physical activity during chemotherapy has been shown to increase patient health and wellbeing as well as improve outcomes in breast cancer patients. The primary aim of this project is to determine the feasibility of incorporating wearable sensors into clinical care by having breast cancer patients, undergoing chemotherapy, wear a commercially available monitor (Fitbit) that tracks physical activity, sleep, and heart rate monitor.
This clinical trial studies a cardiac rehabilitation program in improving cardiorespiratory fitness in stage 0-III breast cancer survivors. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death of women in both the general population and the breast cancer survivor population. There are many risk factors common to both heart disease and breast cancer development, including physical inactivity. A cardiac rehabilitation program may help improve cardiorespiratory fitness, reduce cardiovascular disease risk factors, and improve quality of life among breast cancer survivors.
This phase IV trial studies the side effects of the Magseed magnetic marker and how well it works in locating lymph nodes in the underarm area in patients with breast cancer undergoing surgery. Injecting a small metallic marker in or near the lymph node prior to surgery may help the surgeon locate the lymph nodes during surgery without using radiation.
The purpose of this study is to find out what a new amino acid-based PET agent, fluciclovine (18F), can tell us about breast cancer biology (how it grows and develops), and quantify the differences in fluciclovine (18F) uptake between breast cancer subtypes. This will inform further work to investigate its use in breast cancer management.
