Filter by:This study evaluates the link between muscle health and immune health in breast cancer survivors. Regular exercise is known to improve overall survival in cancer patients but the mechanism is not known. In this study the investigators will evaluate if improving muscle mass and strength via exercise improves the immune system's ability to fight cancer. This is a one armed study where in 30 breast cancer survivors will be recruited to a 4 month exercise intervention. Increase in muscle mass and strength will be correlated with immune cell frequency and function.
The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that creatine will accelerate adaptations associated with exercise in breast cancer survivors recently completing chemotherapy.
Invasive lobular breast carcinoma (ILBC) represents 5-15% of all invasive BCs. The CDH1 gene (OMIM no. 192090), located on the chromosome 16q22.1, encodes for the E-cadherin protein, a key regulator of cell adhesion. Loss of E-cadherin expression is frequently detected in LBC CDH1 germline loss-of-function mutations are associated with the autosomal dominant cancer-predisposition syndrome, hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC; OMIM no. 137215). The cumulative risk of LBC for women with a CDH1 mutation is estimated to be 42% (95% CI 23% to 68%) by 80 years, when it is a component of HDGC syndrome. Recently, some authors described CDH1 germline mutations in women with in situ or ILBC with early onset (<45 or <50) and bilateral in situ or ILBC with no family history of HDGC. These results are opening a new scenario, suggesting that CDH1 could be a susceptibility gene for LBC in women without a family history of DGC. The first aim of this study is to investigate prevalence of CDH1 in this specific population of women with early onset (<45 or <50) in situ or ILBC, bilateral LBC or LBC with no family history of HDGC.
This phase Ib/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of nilotinib in preventing paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy in stage I-III breast cancer patients who are receiving paclitaxel therapy. Chemotherapy is the usual or ?standard? treatment for breast cancer. It kills cancer cells and lowers the chance that the cancer will come back. Sometimes, this treatment can cause numbness and tingling, especially in the hands and feet. This is called chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. This study aims to test the safety and effectiveness, both good and bad, of taking nilotinib in preventing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy.
Treatment of hormone receptor (HR)-positive breast cancer with Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs) can lead to associated musculoskeletal pain and may cause patients to discontinue important treatment. This is a randomized controlled trial assessing the affect of Vitamin B12 on AI-associated joint pain and other outcomes. Participants will be randomly assigned 1:1 to treatment or control arm. The primary objective of this study is: -To assess whether daily oral Vitamin B12 decreases average joint pain in women with AI-Associated Musculoskeletal Symptoms Secondary objectives include: - To investigate whether daily vitamin B12 improves functional quality of life - To explore the impact of treatment on serum inflammatory cytokine levels (C- reactive protein) between baseline and various points in treatment.
This phase I trial studies how well lorcaserin works in treating chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy in patients with stage I-IV gastrointestinal or breast cancer. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy is a nerve problem that causes pain, numbness, tingling, swelling, or muscle weakness in different parts of the body. This condition can occur in patients who have received taxane chemotherapy drugs, or the chemotherapy drug oxaliplatin. Lorcaserin may improve chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy by reducing pain, preventing or relieving joint symptoms, and improving balance.
breast cancer occurred 19,219cases in 2015 and is the second most common cancer among female cancers in the country. despite there's been a disease understanding and treatment developing through study, the prevalence and mortality of breast cancer have increased steadily over the last 15 years. In the last 20 years, through random clinical studies of breast cancer, radiation therapy is well-established standard therapy as postoperative supplement of invasive breast cancer and intraepithelial carcinoma but, the need for further study with new questions about radiation therapy has been raised through these studies. according to the prospective study outcome, the radiation treatment of the regional lymph node in breast cancer patients with lymph node positive increases the free-disease survival rate, radiation therapy for regional lymph node is being actively treated than in the past. on the contrary, the results of another study are being reported that treating regional lymph node may increase the risk of arm edema, radiation pneumonia and heart toxicity. In the recently, due to advancement in radiation therapy technique, the implement of new radiation therapy such as IMRT that reducing radiation dose to normal tissues of the axillary, lungs, heart and others has been actively attempted. additional research is needed on dose-fractionation schedule, regional lymph node treatment, post-treatment toxicity of radiation therapy in breast cancer. this study establishes a prospective cohort at breast cancer patients with radiation treatment and analyze the local and regional lymph node control, recurrence, toxicity, radiation planning, clinical data, discover the factors that predict local control, regional control, overall survival, recurrence-free survival, toxicity for treatment, so we intend to construct basic data that establishes a radiation treatment strategy based on comprehensive outcomes and predictors.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of mechanical stimulation technique compared to massages on pain level and functional discomfort (on the mobility of the shoulder) after 6 months, in breast cancer needing physiotherapy, following a total mastectomy and exploratory axillary surgery.
This is a retrospective, multicenter, non-interventional study for the evaluation of real-world efficacy and safety of T-DM1 in metastatic/relapsed HER2-positive breast cancer as part of the establishment of hospital medical record collection system to evaluate drug effectiveness by Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service (HIRA). The medical records in approximately 1,000 patients of HER2-positive locally-advanced unresectable or metastatic breast cancer, who have received Kadcyla(Trastuzumab Emtansine, T-DM1) previously, will be collected.
FATLAS is a prospective, interventional, non Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) study aiming to characterize the micro- and macroenvironment of breast cancer according to patient adiposity in different histological and molecular subtypes. The macroscopic profiling of the patient's adiposity will be based on Body Mass Index (BMI), bioimpedance analysis and waist-to-hip ratio. Blood samples will be taken for lipidomic analyses and for hormonal and immuno assays. Microscopic profiling of adiposity and inflammation will be done on fresh frozen (FF) and Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) samples from the tumour resection specimen and will consist of histological characterization, immuno assays, multiplex immunohistochemistry, DNA sequencing and single nuclei RNA sequencing both in the tumour and in adjacent normal mammary tissue.
