Filter by:The purpose is to investigate anti-tumor effect of ixabepilone in patients with locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer (mBC) selected by the Ixabepilone DRP after failure of an anthracycline and taxanes.
This study will test the use of focused ultrasound ablation, low-dose gemcitabine (a chemotherapy) and the combination of focused ultrasound ablation plus low-dose gemcitabine in patients with early-stage breast cancers. We will be testing the effects of each of these regimens on cells in the immune system. We hypothesize that the combination of focused ultrasound ablation and gemcitabine will decrease myeloid-derived suppressor cells and will increase T cell activity. We also hypothesize that focused ultrasound ablation and low-dose gemcitabine will be safe and will result in non-inferior surgical completion rates and tumor margin assessments.
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women and covers 25% of all cancers. After mastectomy and reconstruction, many patients develop various upper extremity complications such as joint movement limitation, pain, lymphedema, and axillary cord. Because of such upper extremity problems, evaluation and treatment of upper extremity functions are important. Upper extremity functions are generally evaluated with questionnaires filled out by the patients themselves and which reflect their own perspectives subjectively. However, these questionnaires cannot reflect the observations and evaluations of the clinicians. Performance tests are important for clinicians to make decisions. With this study, we want to examine the usability of the FIT-HaNSA test in the evaluation of upper extremity functions in patients with breast cancer. Our hypothesis; The FıtHaNSA test is successful in evaluating the upper extremity function in patients with breast cancer.
The role of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in breast cancer is well established. Increasing rates of pathologic complete response (pCR) has increased de-escalation of surgical techniques. The objective of the study is to evaluate new radiologic techniques that can accurately detect complete response in order to eliminate breast surgery. . . Currently, there are several imaging techniques for NAC response assessment (magnetic resonance imaging -MRI-, mammography and ultrasound), with good correlation in partial response, but they lack power in predicting complete pathological response. The investigators propose to use IVIM (Intravoxel incoherent motion), Kurtosis (DKI by Diffusion Kurtosis imaging) and diffusion tensor image (DTI) in MRI, contrast enhancement mammography and shear wave elastography for the evaluation of the response to systemic treatment in breast cancer patients. In order to validate the technique, in those patients with a radiological complete response by all the radiological imaging methods, a vacuum-assisted biopsy will be performed before surgery. After that, a comparison will be done between the results of the pre surgical biopsy and the definitive pathology of the specimen. So the investigators can evaluate if patients with complete radiological response after NAC, can be spared breast surgery.
This study explores why patients may want to receive real-time imaging results during a screening mammogram appointment at an MD Anderson breast imaging center. Real-time imaging results means women receive the results of the mammogram right away during the same clinic visit. Information from this study may help researchers better understand patient preferences to enhance patient-experience driven care.
To compare the efficacy of the addition of a therapeutic education program combined with nursing phone follow-up, compared to conventional management alone, on the management of adverse events (AEs) related to adjuvant hormone therapy during the first year of treatment in patients with non-metastatic breast cancer.
study of lymphedema and skeletal events in breast cacer patient receiving adjuvant hormonal therapy and radiothearpy
Post-operative loco-regional (LR) hypofractionated radiotherapy (Hypo-RT) is an attractive approach in locally advanced breast cancer (LABC).
This is a multi-institutional, single arm, open label, Phase Ib/II study of abemaciclib in combination with elacestrant in patients with HR+/Her2- breast cancer metastatic to the brain. Patients may have received up to two prior lines of systemic chemotherapy for locally advanced or metastatic disease. There will be no limit on prior use of endocrine therapy including aromatase inhibitors, tamoxifen and fulvestrant, given a documented clinical benefit of elacestrant in this setting.
This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, parallel controlled, open-label study. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Huaier Granule on postoperative adjuvant therapy of high-risk early-stage triple-negative invasive ductal carcinoma. The Secondary purposes are to evaluate the safety of long-term use of Huaier granules as postoperative adjuvant treatment of high-risk early-stage triple-negative invasive ductal carcinoma, and the changes of quality of life score after treatment with Huaier granule.
