Filter by:The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of exercise training in the autonomic nervous system activity in breast cancer patients, who underwent doxorubicin medication.
This is a randomized clinical trial to investigate the efficacy of letrozole combined with metronomic oral cyclophosphamide in elderly metastasis breast cancer patients.
A need for further investigation for fluorescence image-guided surgery in breast conserving surgery (BCS) has arisen following the results obtained from a phase I feasibility breast cancer trial (BIRDYE study: ABR NL 37479.042011). The aim of this study is to define the optimal dose of the fluorescent tracer Bevacizumab-IRDye800CW for intraoperative delineation of breast cancer tissue using the improved and optimized fluorescent tracer and camera system.
Breast cancer is the leading cancer in women worldwide. The incidence of breast cancer is increasing probably due to the prolonged life expectancy and a variety of environmental factors. Fortunately, breast cancer outcome and survival are improving due to early detection and new treatment modalities. After making first strides against breast cancer, i.e. undergoing ablation surgery, most breast cancer survivors still have to go through a series of chemotherapy, which could prolong their survival but almost inevitably downgrade their quality of life due to grueling side effects, such as lack of energy and vulnerability to infection. Numerous medical interventions have been tried by healthcare providers to alleviate these side effects, but some of them are expensive and therefore become another burden for the cancer-afflicted patients. Previous studies have already indicated that exercise generated long-term benefits to breast cancer survivors, including improved physical functions, elevated maximal oxygen intake, decreases in lethargic symptom, increase in both immune function and quality of life. Among a variety of exercises, walking is the least costly, easy-to-follow type. Through a simple, predesigned walking regimen, the investigators expected that the breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy could cost-effectively reap some benefit either physically or psychologically. Cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3+), presenting at all stages of T-cell development, is a useful maker to identify T-cells. (Cluster of differentiation 4)CD4+ T cells, also known as T helper cells, play an assistant role in the immunologic process, such as maturation of B cells, activations of macrophages or cytotoxic T cells. Cluster of differentiation 8 (CD8+) T cells, known as cytotoxic T cells, responsible for destroying virus-infected cells and tumor cells. Generally, the counts of CD3+ T cells, CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells could be a reflection of immune system health. Short-Form 36(SF-36), a patient-reported survey, is a widely adopted tool to evaluate patient's individual health status. By means of serial blood sample collections and the delivery of SF-36 survey, this study aimed to objectively and quantitatively evaluate the effects of aerobic walking on the breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
Subjects are asked to take part in a clinical research study that tests Eribulin, a new drug. Eribulin is an investigational (experimental) anti-cancer agent that has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in patients with brain metastases. Eribulin is FDA approved for use in patients with metastatic breast cancer but the effect it may or may not have on brain metastases has not been studied.
A multi-center non-interventional, in-vitro trial for evaluation of concordance of the results for Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) expression by the Immunohistochemical (IHC) method in pathological samples collected from participants with breast cancer.
The goal of this clinical study is to determine the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and efficacy and activity of seviteronel, a lyase-selective inhibitor of CYP17, in patients with advanced breast cancer.
This feasibility study will be conducted in order to provide proof of concept for the CanADVICE+® system comprising a smart phone app and a healthcare organization server side application based on Web 2 technologies. The main objective of this project is to optimise pharmaceutical counselling services by providing drug related information, in a digital format, to patients with metastatic breast cancer receiving Capecitabine.
The primary objective of this monocentric and feasibility study is to review the efficacy of cryotherapy in the treatment of unifocal mammary carcinomas in post-menopausal patients, with lumpectomy indication. The efficacy is defined by the rate of success of cryotherapy procedures. For each one of those evaluated process, an success will be defined on the tumor sample of lumpectomy by the absence of viable tumour cells. On the basis of our expertise, it seems interesting to propose this experimental procedure to patients as described above.
The study aims to evaluate the ability of representative vacuum-assisted minimal invasive biopsy (VAB) to diagnose pathological complete response (pCR=ypT0) in breast cancer patients after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT).
