Filter by:Triple-negative breast carcinoma is characterized by the absence of estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, and HER2/neu receptors. Carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX) is a tumor-associated cell surface glycoprotein that is involved in adaptation to hypoxia-induced acidosis and plays a role in cancer progression. This study aimed to investigate CA IX expression in TNBC and its relationship with treatment effect.
Breast cancer stands as the foremost cause of cancer-related deaths among women worldwide, with the highest incidence of any cancer type. The choice of therapeutic interventions hinges upon factors like cancer stage, cell subtype, and tumor size. Consequently, individuals with more aggressive tumors, such as HER+2 and Triple Negative, or larger tumors often undergo neoadjuvant chemotherapy before breast surgery. However, these anticancer treatments come with side effects like cancer-related fatigue, reduced functional capacity, and changes in body composition, notably skeletal muscle atrophy. Skeletal muscle loss correlates with heightened mortality rates, cardiotoxicity, and diminished quality of life, underscoring the need for early therapeutic interventions. One such promising strategy is prehabilitation, which involves resistance-exercise training aimed at bolstering skeletal muscle mass from the outset of the disease, even preceding breast surgery. Resistance-exercise training has shown favorable effects on women undergoing adjuvant therapy or survivors of breast cancer, however, its molecular and clinical effects in women with breast cancer undergoing neoadjuvant therapy are unknown.
This is a multicenter, single-arm,Phase II clinical trial to explore the efficacy and safety of Eribulin combined with Sintilimab in the first-line treatment of unresectable locally advanced or metastatic HER2-negative breast cancer.
The scientific goals of the project are: 1. The primary scientific objective of the study is to determine the effectiveness of an eHealth self-management support program for persistent pain after breast cancer treatment compared to: - usual care (i.e. superiority of the eHealth self-management support program) and - a comprehensive pain rehabilitation program delivered face-to-face in a physical therapy setting (i.e. non-inferiority of the eHealth self-management support program) on pain-related disability (measured with the Pain Disability Index). 2. The secondary scientific objectives of this study entails to examine if the eHealth self-management support program has a relative benefit for other biopsychosocial factors, including: - Other dimensions of pain - Health-related quality of life - Physical functioning, including physical activity levels - Psychosocial functioning, including self-efficacy, stress, anxiety, depression, coping style (key secondary outcome) and fear of cancer recurrence - Participation in society, including return to work - Healthcare-related costs for the patient and society 3. The tertiary scientific objectives of this study are - to identify moderators of treatment effect, including behavioural determinants (e.g. self-efficacy, motivation, coping style), in order to identify breast cancer survivors who would benefit the most of the eHealth self-management support program and to allow more stratified and efficient pain management care and more targeted allocation of budgets. - To examine the implementation process, mechanisms of impact and contextual factors.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the efficacy of a nurse-led psychoeducational sexual health intervention for young women breast cancer survivors. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the feasibility of this intervention in an online, private setting? 2. What is the effect of this intervention on reducing menopausal symptoms, improving sexual functioning, and enhancing body image? Participants will participate in a nurse-led psychoeducational intervention for 8 sessions lasting approximately an hour each over the course of 8 - 10 weeks. Each participant will complete survey items at the beginning, end, and six-weeks after the last session. Participants will be compensated up to $150 in gift cards as a thank-you for their time.
The purpose of this study is to describe the effect of the medicine palbociclib when given together with an aromatase inhibitor for treatment of breast cancer. The study will consider participants who: - have advanced or metastatic breast cancer that is spread to other parts of the body. - have HR+/HER2- (hormone receptor positive* / human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative**) breast cancer types. - Hormone receptor positive (HR+): are cells that have a group of proteins that bind to a specific hormone. For example, some breast cancer cells have receptors for the hormones estrogen or progesterone. These cells are hormone receptor positive, and they need estrogen or progesterone to grow. This can affect how the cancer is treated. Knowing if the cancer is hormone receptor positive may help plan treatment. - Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-): cells that have a small amount or none of a protein called HER2 on their surface. In normal cells, HER2 helps control cell growth. Cancer cells that are HER2 negative may grow more slowly and are less likely to recur (come back) or spread to other parts of the body than cancer cells that have a large amount of HER2 on their surface. Checking to see if a cancer is HER2 negative may help plan treatment. - have started treatment in the period between January 2017 and December 2021. The study will describe the treatment effect for different patient groups in terms of age and comorbidities. Comorbidity is the condition of having two or more diseases at the same time. The data is collected by the Danish Breast Cancer Group in the period between 2017 to 2023.
A multicenter real-world study was conducted to gather clinicopathological data from patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer who were treated with inetetamab between 2022 and 2023. The study aimed to estimate the progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and adverse events (AEs) associated with inetetamab therapy.
The goal of this study is to evaluate if adding community services navigation to the standard referral process for social needs is an effective and scalable strategy for addressing disparities in follow-up to abnormal breast cancer screening results. The investigators will determine the effectiveness of social needs referrals combined with a community services navigation intervention in the screening mammography setting to improving breast screening outcomes in underserved women.
The VRtuose (Virtual RealiTy and mUsic in the Oncology Setting) project aims to evaluate the feasibility of implementing in day patient chemotherapy units a distraction strategy combining virtual reality (VR) and music which fits the needs of both breast cancer patients and healthcare providers (i.e., strategy administrators), and to evaluate its impact on patients' (i) perceived anxiety and pain during chemotherapy sessions, (ii) nausea/vomiting and mood disturbances in between chemotherapy sessions, and (iii) quality of life. The present project is a non-randomized non-controlled prospective monocentric feasibility study which will focus on evaluating the feasibility of implementing the strategy in the target population and setting. In the case that implementation of a distraction strategy combining virtual reality and music to improve quality of life of breast cancer patients during chemotherapy is deemed feasible, the efficacy of using this strategy to improve patients' experience of chemotherapy and long-term quality of life will be evaluated in a future randomized controlled trial informed and optimized by the results of the present work.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of dapagliflozin on the incidence of cancer therapeutics-related cardiac dysfunction in patients with breast cancer receiving anthracycline treatment.
