Filter by:The purpose of this study to find out whether a very low carbohydrate diet (ketogenic diet), a low carbohydrate diet, or the study drug canagliflozin can prevent high blood sugar and may improve the effectiveness of cancer therapy in people who are receiving standard treatment with alpelisib and fulvestrant for their metastatic PIK3CA-mutant breast cancer.
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women worldwide. A significant number of breast cancer survivors develop many complications. Breast cancer and survivors may develop a fear of physical activity avoidance and movement, called kinesiophobia, due to upper extremity pain, numbness, restricted arm/shoulder range of motion, and risk of lymphedema. Therefore, in the present study, it is aimed to compare the effect of fear of movement on physical activity, quality of life and psychological states in women who have had breast cancer with healthy people.
This project aims to evaluate different approaches to increase breast cancer screening among primary care patients at Penn Medicine through a centralized screening outreach program. In a pragmatic trial, the investigators will evaluate different approaches to increase completion of screening among eligible patients, including ordering mammograms in bulk prior to outreach, sending personalized text reminders, and endorsing of the communication by the primary care provider.
The hypothesis of this study is to discover if the capecitabine plus Anlotinib can shrink or slow the growth of pretreated advanced TNBC. It is a single-arm phase II clinical study of capecitabine combined with antinib in the treatment of recurrent or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer
The long-term goal of this research is to increase breast cancer screening rates in NYC Chinese immigrants. The researchers plan to accomplish this objective by developing and testing a culturally- and linguistically-adapted Witness Project program for Chinese immigrants. To inform the intervention development, the study team will identify barriers and facilitators to breast cancer screening in Chinese immigrants through individual qualitative interviews. A total of 156 participants will be recruited during the entire study. In Aim 1 which started in July 2021, 60 women were recruited for in-depth interviews to assess their breast cancer knowledge, perceived barriers and benefits/risks to completing mammography, perceived susceptibility to breast cancer, fatalism, screening intention, acculturation, language preference, and health literacy. In Aim 2, 96 women will be recruited to participate in the pilot testing of the intervention. Recruitment will take place at community sites that serve Chinese immigrants in New York City. Enrollment for Aim 2 is anticipated to start in March of 2022.
16a-18F-fluoro-17b-estradiol ([18F]FES) is radioactive labeled estradiol, developed for in vivo visualization of the estrogen receptor (ER) using positron emission tomography (PET). To date, [18F]FES PET has been mainly explored as a diagnostic imaging tool to assess ER expression, thereby identifying locations of disease and their potential sensitivity to endocrine therapy, respectively. The primary aim of this project is to extend the application of [18F]FES PET as a baseline diagnostic imaging biomarker for ER expression to use it as an (early) treatment response marker. However, for such an application, visual assessment alone may not be sufficient and a more rigorous quantitative image analysis is needed. Therefore, in this project we shall first derive the optimal pharmacokinetic model for full quantitative analysis of [18F]FES uptake and, subsequently, we shall assess the validity of simplified, clinically feasible, quantitative parameters of [18F]FES uptake in 5 patients with metastatic estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer (part A). In addition, the repeatability of these simplified parameters will then be investigated in another 10 patients (part B).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Camrelizumab plus chemotherapy as neoadjuvant therapy and Camrelizumab as adjuvant therapy in participants who have triple negative breast cancer (TNBC).
This clinical trial evaluates the feasibility and acceptability of a mobile health device in improving oral chemotherapy adherence in women with triple negative breast cancer that has not spread to other places in the body (non-metastatic). A mobile health device, called SMRxT smart pill bottle may help doctors to remind patients to take medicine on time and monitor their symptoms.
This trial studies how well EMBr Wave technology works in reducing hot flashes in women with a history of breast cancer. Hot flashes are a common symptom experienced by menopausal women. The standard treatment for hot flashes is hormone replacement therapy, however hormone replacement therapy cannot be used in women with a history of, or active, breast cancer. EMBr Wave is a personal heating and cooling device worn on the wrist. EMBr Wave may help reduce hot flash severity in women with a history of breast cancer.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of an online tool, based on patient reported outcomes (Co'moon), on the quality of life of breast cancer patients on adjuvant endocrine therapy in the University Hospital Leuven.
