This is an open label phase II study to determine the safety and efficacy of a novel 3 fraction daily dosing regimen for accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) for early invasive and noninvasive breast cancer. The three techniques utilized are recognized as standard options for the delivery of APBI, and there is no evidence that either technique is superior or inferior to any other. The APBI technique utilized will be at the physician's discretion and will be based on technical considerations, availability at the treating radiation facility, insurance coverage, as well as patient preference.
Many studies focusing on breast conserving surgery have affirmed the cosmetic effectiveness and oncologic success of oncoplastic methods and even modified variants of these methods reinforced with videoscopic applications. However, primary lumpectomy subjects in these studies are mainly patients who have already received the diagnosis of malignancy before the surgery. There is not much comprehensive work reported for patients without the diagnosis of malignancy. In this regard, the investigators believe the intent of the innovative oncoplastic intervention to the breast is underestimated in terms of providing diagnosis simultaneously constituting the basic component of surgical treatment. Thus, the purpose of this prospectively planned study is to provide and investigate the outcomes of an evidence-based oncoplastic approach algorithm for excisional breast biopsies.
The purpose of this study is to review and evaluate the effectiveness of new educational materials (informational booklet & DVD) that promote participation in genetic counseling among breast cancer survivors. There are two phases to this study: Part 1 - reviewing the newly developed educational materials, and Part 2 - evaluating the effectiveness of the newly developed educational materials
In this multicenter, randomized phase III trial, node positive early breast cancer patients are randomly assigned to receive either 6 cycles of FEC (5-fluorouracil 600 mg/m2, epirubicin 60 mg/m2 and cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2, on day 1, every three weeks) or 4 cycles of EP (epirubicin 90 mg/m2 and paclitaxel 175 mg/m2, on day 1, every three weeks). The primary study endpoint is overall survival (OS). Secondary endpoints include toxicity and event free survival (EFS).
This is a prospective examination of ribonucleic acid (RNA) extracted from tumor material of breast cancer patients treated with a neo-adjuvant therapy. The RNA will be analysed for expression of estrogen receptor (ER 1), progesterone receptor (PgR), HER2 and Ki-67 with MammaTyper™. According to the determined values for the individual parameters at least 4 subtypes can be distinguished to date - Luminal A-type - Luminal B-type - HER2-type - Triple-negative-type As non-clinical endpoint, the agreement of new subtyping with Immunohistochemical methods will be evaluated. As clinical objective, the 5 year Distant metastasis free survival (DMFS) and Overall survival (OS) will be reevaluated according to the new subtyping.
Firstly, the investigators aim to show that breast tumour blood flow, measured as part of a standard MRI examination, decreases at the earliest stage of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in those patients who go on to respond to treatment. Importantly, the investigators will also show that blood flow does not decrease in those patients who fail to respond. Secondly, the investigators will test whether the decrease in tumour blood flow over the whole course of neoadjuvant chemotherapy can predict the response of the tumour measured at the time of surgery.
This research study is studying a drug called Palbociclib in combination with Bazedoxifene (a type of endocrine therapy, which prevents breast cancer cell growth by blocking estrogen stimulation) as a possible treatment for this diagnosis. The names of the study interventions involved in this study are: - Palbociclib - Bazedoxifene
PATRICIA is a phase II, open-label, multicentre, Simon's two-stage-design study of the combination of palbociclib plus trastuzumab, with or without letrozole, in post-menopausal patients with HER2-positive locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer (MBC) who have received chemotherapy and treatment with trastuzumab for their metastatic disease. Cohorts A, B1, and B2 based on their HR status and treatment allocation were planned. Cohort A included patients with hormone receptor-negative, HER2 positive breast cancer, who received trastuzumab + palbociclib. Cohort B1 included patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2 positive breast cancer, who received trastuzumab + palbociclib. Cohort B2 included patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2 positive breast cancer, who received trastuzumab + palbociclib + letrozole. The aim of the PATRICIA study is to test the hypothesis that the addition of Palbociclib to standard therapy is well tolerated and can provide a benefit in progression-free survival. Based on interim results from this trial that support the benefit of CDK4 / 6 inhibition in luminal disease, two additional cohorts will be included.
This single-arm study aims to assess the safety and tolerability profile of Fulvestrant(Faslodex®) as 2nd line and later therapy in postmenopausal women with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. The primary objective is to evaluate the adverse events after Fulvestrant (Faslodex®) for about 6 months
