Filter by:This clinical trial is designed as an observational study of 8-9 years of overall duration, but the first results and conclusions could be achieved in 3-4 years. In the first phase, which would last 3-4 years, the investigators will form three predetermined groups of breast cancer patients that would be monitored in the second phase for 5 postoperative years. All patients involved in this trial would undergo a defined protocol. All patients participating in this trial and all members of the investigation team would be completely introduced to the plan and aims of this trial. Two main hypotheses of this trial are that SLNB does not have a negative impact on clinical outcomes (locoregional recurrence and overall survival) in initially node-positive patients who achieved complete clinically axillary remission after neoadjuvant systemic treatment and that lymph node status after neoadjuvant treatment is a significantly more relevant prognostic factor than nodal status at the time of diagnosis. Therefore, the aim is to establish that sentinel lymph node biopsy, in node-positive breast cancer patients that achieve clinical remission after neoadjuvant treatment, is a reliable approach for surgical axillary management. Data would be collected individually for each patient and recorded on appropriate forms. After data completion, the principal investigator would import encoded data into the register. Data collected in this trial would be used for publications.
Using a pilot 1-arm pre-post design, investigators will implement an intervention that is personalized, low burden (the majority of interactions are telephone coaching sessions), and delivered during the initial survivorship transition. To determine the feasibility of the intervention 48 community-dwelling rural breast cancer survivors (BCS) (ages 40 and older) will receive the intervention. The 12-week intervention consists of three home-based face-to-face consultations with the therapist, 9 weekly habit tele phone coaching sessions, and the use of implementation intentions, environmental modifications, and tailored text messages to support physical activity and dietary habit formation and address unmet needs.
The purpose of this research study is to learn about the effects that standard of care endocrine therapies have on the immune system's response to cancer by looking at the number and types of immune cells present and how they function in women with early stage estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer.
This is a Phase 1/1b, open-label, dose-escalation, and dose-expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD), and clinical activity of etrumadenant (AB928) in combination with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) with or without IPI-549 in participants with advanced metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) or ovarian cancer, and etrumadenant in combination with nanoparticle albumin-bound-paclitaxel (NP) in participants with advanced metastatic TNBC.
Currently, breast cancer patients who are treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) before surgery may have a biopsy clip placed in the lymph node at the time of or shortly after percutaneous biopsy. Following 12-20+ weeks of NAC, pre-surgical localization of the sampled axillary lymph node using a radioactive seed can be done up to 5 days prior to surgery. Localization of the sampled lymph node in patients with complete imaging response to NAC can be technically challenging if the biopsy clip is not sonographically visible. This study is designed to see if it is feasible to place a Magseed, which is magnetic seed, into the abnormal node either at the time of fine needle aspiration (FNA) or after NAC, just prior to surgery, and to be able to accurately identify the abnormal node at the time of surgery.
The purpose of this study is to compare the qualitative severity and depth of dissection devices' associated thermal artifact in breast lumpectomy shaved margins between the use of electrocautery and low thermal energy dissection, PhotonBlade. The investigators hypothesize that the use of PhotonBlade would result in a significantly lower qualitative severity and a shorter depth of thermal artifact in breast lumpectomies shaved margins, when compared to electrocautery devices.
The aim of the present randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled clinical trial is to investigate if melatonin can protect against acute radiation dermatitis in patients with early breast cancer receiving radiation therapy, and whether this has an impact on the patients' quality of life.
Breast cancer patients with ipsilateral supraclavicular lymph node metastasis are defined as Ⅲc stage (N3) according to the newly published 8th AJCC TNM staging system. No concret guide line was supported to such patients. It is still pending whether to exert supraclavicular lymph node dissection to breast cancer patients with ipsilateral supraclavicular lymph node metastasis. To evaluate the clinical significance and complication of supraclavicular lymph node dissection for breast cancer patients with ipsilateral supraclavicular lymph node metastasis, the investigators randomize patients into two groups, one group is supraclavicular lymph node dissection with radiotherapy group, the other group is radiotherapy group.
This research study is studying whether participants and their doctors are willing to determine post-surgery treatment on the basis of response to pre-surgery treatment, and studying blood and tissue collected from participants treated with a combination of drugs as a treatment for breast cancer. The names study drugs involved in this study are: - Paclitaxel (also called Taxol) - Trastuzumab (also called Herceptin) - Pertuzumab (also called Perjeta)
This trial studies nipple aspirate fluid in detecting breast cancer. Nipple aspirate fluid may better detect breast cancer earlier than current methods used for screening such as mammograms and breast examinations.
