Filter by:This study aimed to compare detection rate between dual sentinel node staining method using mixture of indocyanine green (ICG) with radioisotope(RI), and RI only. To identify the first lymph node(s) along the lymphatic drainage pathway from the primary tumor in the breast cancer using RI only has several disadvantages such as invisibility, interference. As ICG can be visualized with a fluorescence imaging system, we expects dual sentinel lymph node staining method had better outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of an interactive Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) -platform for use in a smartphone or tablet in patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer. The hypothesis is that clinical management will be improved and costs reduced and safe and participatory care promoted, when patients report symptoms in an application which provides self-care advice and instant access to professionals.
The development of surgical site infections (SSI) in clean-contaminated surgery is regarded as being preventable. Known to be effective in the prevention of surgical site infection are the adequate sterilization of the surgical instruments, asepsis during operation, antibiotic prophylaxis where indicated, and certainly the preparation of the skin at the incision site, since the patient's skin is the principal source of bacterial contamination of the wound. This study aims to investigate the efficacy in prevention of surgical site infection in clean surgery, using two different standardized methods of skin preparation: povidone-iodine 10% aqueous solution from 1.5 liter bulk bottle, versus tinted 2% chlorhexidine in 70% isopropyl alcohol in a single-dose applicator. To reduce the variables involved, a single-center study will enroll a homogeneous population, undergoing breast cancer surgery.
This pilot clinical trial studies the safety of a dendritic cell vaccine when given with gemcitabine hydrochloride in treating patients with breast cancer that has spread beyond the breast and local lymph nodes to other organs in the body. The vaccine is made up of natural cells found in the blood, called dendritic cells, and peptides, or small fragments of protein which are loaded onto the dendritic cells. This combination may help activate the immune system against stromal cells, which are cells that help cancer cells survive in the body. Gemcitabine hydrochloride is a chemotherapy drug that is given before the vaccine to help shrink the tumor and control cells that may interfere with the activity of the vaccine. Interfering with the stromal cells that help support the growth of cancer cells may lead to the death of the cancer cells.
The purposes of this study are to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of Hemay022. The secondary purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of Hemay022 in the treatment of HER2-positive advanced breast cancer. The study will be conducted in two parts. Part one, trial will be conducted in 18-30 subjects to determine safety and tolerability of Hemay022 in patients with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer. Part two, approximately 27 additional subjects with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer, are included to better define the tolerability and preliminary efficacy of Hemay022.
1. To induce immunity-mediated tumor response outside the radiation field (abscopal effect) after chemo-radiation of a metastatic site in metastatic breast cancer patients. 2. To monitor the induction of a T cell response. 3. To explore the role of PET scanning to assess tumor responses/abscopal effect.
This study is a randomized control cross over trial of exercise training during or after taxane-containing chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer. Forty-three women with stage I-III breast cancer will be randomized to immediate or delayed thrice weekly exercise training for 8-12 weeks. The immediate exercise group will exercise during taxane chemotherapy and the delayed group will start exercise 2 weeks after completion of treatment. This design will allow for an assessment of the effects of exercise vs usual care during treatment, plus a comparison of the training response during vs. after chemotherapy.
The purpose of the study is to determine the frequency ESR1 mutations by Digital PCR in patient with metastatic breast cancer.
A multicenter, double-blind, randomized, parallel-group, Phase III study of the efficacy and safety of Hercules( Myl 1401O, Mylan Trastuzumab) plus taxane versus Herceptin® plus taxane as first line therapy in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer.
Rationale: The number of breast cancer (BC) patients at risk for long-term radiation-induced health problems is increasing, as their outcome is improving due to intensified treatment regimens, such as new systemic approaches and radiotherapy. Therefore, identifying BC survivors with the highest risk for radiation-induced health problems is crucial for developing strategies for primary and secondary prevention, which may contribute to healthy ageing.
