Filter by:This is a single-center prospective study involving analysis of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and the gut microbiome in patients with metastatic breast cancer on standard of care endocrine therapy with an aromatase inhibitor in combination with an inhibitor of the cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK 4/6). Up to 20 patients with Estrogen Receptor positive (ER+), Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 negative (HER2-) metastatic breast cancer and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1 will be enrolled. This study involves the collection and analysis of patient samples and does not involve therapeutic intervention.
This trial studies how well tucatinib works for solid tumors that make either more HER2 or a different type of HER2 than usual (HER2 alterations) The solid tumors studied in this trial have either spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed completely with surgery (unresectable). All participants will get both tucatinib and trastuzumab. People with hormone-receptor positive breast cancer will also get a drug called fulvestrant. The trial will also look at what side effects happen. A side effect is anything a drug does besides treating cancer.
Women taking part in the National Mammography Screening Program, examined at Södersjukhuset Breast Centre at Södra station in Stockholm and recalled because of suspicion of breast cancer will be invited to participate. A Contrast Enhanced Mammography will be added to the standard of care procedures for investigating a suspicion of breast cancer and blinded from each other 2 radiologists will evaluate either the Contrast Enhanced Mammography or the standard of care examinations. When comparing the potentially extra findings with Contrast Enhanced Mammography will be calculated. Potential side effects together with the patient experience will also be evaluated.
Lymphoedema is a chronic debilitating disease that can have severe adverse effects on day-to-day life causing great physical and visual discomfort. The clinical presentation is characterised by chronic swelling of limbs, accompanied by localised pain, skin changes and recurrent infections. It is caused by a disruption in lymphatic flow which prevents the normal circulation of interstitial fluid (situated in the spaces between the cells of the body), resulting in swelling of the affected limb. It can be primary (cause unknown) or secondary to a number of causes such as malignancy, trauma, surgery, radiotherapy, infection, or venous disease. In breast cancer treatment, axillary surgery and radiotherapy significantly damage normal lymphatic drainage of the upper limb, causing lymphoedema in 1-in-5 patients. There is a growing body of evidence that this chronic and debilitating condition can be better managed through early surgical intervention rather than the current conservative management, which rely on pressure garments and massage. This surgical intervention, lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA), joins up a number of the draining lymphatic vessels to correspondingly sized veins on the affected limb using microsurgical techniques. A special dye and camera system is used to facilitate identifying lymph vessels. This creates a new drainage pathway for the lymph fluid around the area of disruption, improving lymphatic flow. Volume reduction is expected and this would be expected to provide quality of life benefits for the patients. This study seeks to compare the outcomes from both therapies and determine whether LVA surgery can help to improve the physical burden and quality of life for patients affected by lymphoedema. Furthermore, lymphoedema places a substantial burden on NHS services. If this trial is successful, LVA surgery could improve patient outcomes and reduce the overall cost of treatment.
This is a prospective, single arm, open-label, unicenter, exploratory study in women with primary operable HER2-positive, HER2-enriched/ERBB2-high breast cancer according to PAM50 intrinsic subtype and a ERBB2 pre-defined cutoff (high vs low ERBB2 expression), to evaluate the omission of surgery and sentinel lymph node dissection in patients with HER2-E and ERBB2 high breast cancer who achieving a complete response following standard anti-HER2-based neoadjuvant therapy with paclitaxel/trastuzumab/pertuzumab. The primary trial objective is to estimate the loco-regional invasive disease-free survival at 3-year of patients who achieve a complete response based on imaging (i.e. Magnetic resonance imaging) and a stereotactic-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy, and omit loco-regional surgery.
This Phase II, randomized, open-label, multicenter study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of giredestrant compared with physician's choice of endocrine monotherapy in participants with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who have received one or two prior lines of systemic therapy in the locally advanced or metastatic setting.
The overall aim of this research is to assess the feasibility of a 12-week combined aerobic exercise (AEx) and resistance exercise (REx) intervention and elucidate the impact of AEx/REx on several physiological and behavioral components of energy balance among breast cancer survivors (BCS).
Recent clinical studies showed that breast cancer patients especially for those with lymph node metastasis may benefit from dose-dense chemotherapy, like adriamycin and cyclophosphamide (AC) q2w×4→ paclitaxel (P) q2w×4. However, the studies on dose-dense (dd) regimen chemotherapy is mostly based on postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and the optimum of dose-dense chemotherapy has not been determined for Chinese population with HER2-negative breast cancer patients. In our study, a prospective, randomized, open-label, multi-center clinical study was conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of dose-dense chemotherapy regimen (dd epirubicin/cyclophosphamide (EC) followed by dd paclitaxel (P)) and conventional chemotherapy (epirubicin/cyclophosphamide (EC) followed by docetaxel (T)) as preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the treatment of HER2-negative breast cancer in Chinese population.
In 2017, it is estimated that nearly 60,000 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed in France. Although several treatments are indicated in this context, chemotherapy remains a curability option whose place today extends to small tumors to support its increasingly approved administration contributing to a continuous increase in survival rates. However, diagnostic procedures and anti-cancer treatments are frequently responsible for toxicity that can reach high levels of severity and even generate sequelae. These physical and psychological after-effects of breast cancer treatment have a short and medium-term impact on the quality of life of the patients treated: anxiety, fear, pain, job loss, and the onset of precariousness. In addition, surgical procedures such as PAC and pic-line surgery are often associated with anxiety and pain. Chemotherapy is particularly associated with anxiety, stress, fatigue, nausea and vomiting. Some immediate, delayed or even anticipated side effects are not always effectively controlled by the medication available to us. Anti-nausea medications can lead to drug interactions and/or other adverse effects. The interest of a non-drug approach is to get rid of these adverse effects. However, it is underestimated and therefore currently not integrated into current practice. Its benefits must therefore be explored within the framework of in-depth research protocols that justify our study.
The study aims to test the feasibility and effects of a dietary and physical activity intervention based on evolutionary considerations in an oncological setting.
