Filter by:Rationale: Prediction of prognosis in patients with breast cancer is important to determine the indication for adjuvant chemo-, endocrine- and immunotherapy. Apart from the clinicopathological parameters incorporated into the Adjuvant!Online predictive model, the validated 70-gene signature MammaPrint® is predictive of outcome too. MammaPrint® is advised in the current Dutch CBO guideline (2012) for hormone receptor positive, invasive ductal breast cancer in individual cases when there is 'doubt' about the indication for adjuvant chemotherapy based on traditional prognostic factors. In the present study MammaPrint® is used in this CBO 2012 guideline defined group of patients as an additional test for decision-making for adjuvant chemotherapy. Objective: To assess the impact of MammaPrint® on clinical decision making regarding the administration of adjuvant chemotherapy in the CBO 2012 guideline defined group of hormone receptor positive invasive ductal carcinoma patients when there is doubt about the indication for adjuvant chemotherapy based on traditional prognostic factors. The influence of various factors and the impact of MammaPrint® in predefined subgroups will be analyzed too. Data from a national registry regarding adjuvant systemic treatment in patients with similar clinicopathological characteristics in whom MammaPrint® was not used will be obtained to provide a control group. Hypothesis: In the group of patients where national guidelines advocate using systemic therapy but doctors are ambivalent in treating patients with adjuvant chemotherapy, it is hypothesized that using MammaPrint® as an additional test will change the indication for adjuvant therapy in a substantial proportion of patients resulting in at least 10% less patients who receive adjuvant chemotherapy. Thus, in the study group at least 10% less patients will receive chemotherapy when compared to a contemporary group of patients with similar clinicopathological characteristics but without using MammaPrint® Study population: Hormone receptor positive, invasive ductal breast cancer patients when there is doubt about the indication for adjuvant chemotherapy based on traditional prognostic factors. Study design: This is a prospective multicentre impact study.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of stereotactic body radiation therapy in treating patients with breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, or prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Stereotactic body radiation therapy delivers fewer, tightly-focused, high doses of radiation therapy to all known sites of cancer in the body while minimizing radiation exposure of surrounding normal tissue.
The primary objectives of this study were to assess the safety and tolerability of intravenously (i.v.) administered 186Rhenium (186Re)-labelled bivatuzumab and to investigate the biodistribution and pharmacokinetics of 186Re-labelled bivatuzumab in patients with adenocarcinoma of the breast
To evaluate the efficacy of cryoablation without lumpectomy and its impact on local and distant recurrence of early stage breast cancer .
The investigators hypotheses that paclitaxel combined with cisplatin in a weekly-based regimen as neoadjuvant chemotherapy is effective and tolerable for locally advanced breast cancer.
This multicenter study in participants with HER2-positive eBC will investigate participants' pain and discomfort of SC trastuzumab (Herceptin) administered either via a single-use injection device (SID) or via vial for manual administration using a hand-held syringe (SC vial). In total, participants will obtain at least 18 cycles/1 year of trastuzumab (4 cycles of intravenous [IV] and 14 cycles of SC trastuzumab).
This randomized clinical trial studies survivorship care in reducing symptoms in young adult cancer survivors. Survivorship care programs that identify the needs of young adult cancer survivors and ways to support them through the years after treatment may help reduce symptoms, such as pain, fatigue, sleep disturbance, depression, and distress, in young adult cancer survivors.
The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal time to use the Tumor RNA Disruption Assay (RDA) as a predictor of pathological complete response (pCR) in patients with breast cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. This is important because the earlier non-responders are identified, the greater is the impact of reducing side effects of ineffective treatments. The study hypothesis is that the RDA score will accurately predict for tumor response after one cycle of chemotherapy.
Evidence-based guidelines recommend cancer surveillance procedures for breast cancer survivors including physical examination, mammography, breast self-exam, and gynecologic follow-up. The early detection of recurrent and new cancers can best be achieved through the combined, on schedule use of these surveillance procedures. Yet, data suggest that up to 55% of breast cancer survivors do not undergo these procedures as recommended. This study tests a telephone-based psychosocial intervention aimed at improving adherence to recommended surveillance in breast cancer survivors. The psychosocial intervention for improving adherence is compared to treatment as usual.
The current study will compare PK, efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of PF-05280014 (Trastuzumab-Pfizer) in combination with Taxotere® and Carboplatin (Paraplatin) versus Herceptin® (Trastuzumab-EU) approved in the EU in combination with Taxotere® and Carboplatin (Paraplatin) in patients with operable HER2 positive, breast cancer in the neoadjuvant setting. The hypothesis to be tested in this study is the percentage of patients with steady state Cycle 5 Ctrough (Cycle 6 pre-dose) >20 µg/mL of trastuzumab-Pfizer is similar to EU-approved trastuzumab, using a margin of -12.5%.
