Filter by:Axillary lymph node status is an important prognostic factor for patients with breast cancer. After breast cancer diagnosis, current nodal staging consists of axillary ultrasound (US) combined with tissue sampling when deemed necessary. In case of positive axillary lymph nodes, patients will undergo axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). In case of no suspicious axillary lymph nodes (i.e. clinically node negative patients), patients will undergo sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). This surgical nodal staging is accompanied by co-morbidity. In theory, if non-invasive imaging can evaluate the lymph node status accurately, a node negative patient would no longer have to undergo axillary surgery. Since MRI is suitable for soft tissue imaging and PET has the advantage of showing increased metabolic uptake in lymph node metastases, a combination of these techniques in hybrid PET/MRI would be highly desirable. If dedicated axillary hybrid PET/MRI is equally accurate to SLNB for the detection of negative axillary lymph nodes, work-up could be more efficient by bypassing SLNB. However, the accuracy of dedicated axillary hybrid PET/MRI needs to be compared with the pathological outcome of SLNB (gold standard) first.
Breast cancer is the most common female malignancy in the world, and the leading cause of cancer-associated mortalities among women. Hormone receptors (HR) including ER and PR are the main prognostic factor for breast cancer patients. Breast cancer subtype was defined by ER, PR, HER2 and Ki67 status since the definition of intrinsic subtypes for breast cancer. Breast cancer which ER are positive have less aggressive and better long-term prognoses than other breast cancer subtype. Luminal B1 was definited as ER Positive, PR positive <20%, or Ki-67 ≥20% , and HER2-Negative. Although standard therapy to HR positive breast cancer is endocrine treatment, evidence reported that Luminal B1 breast cancers with lower PR expression are less sensitive to tamoxifen than luminal A breast cancers with higher PR expression, and the specific mechanism is not clear. We previously had a clinically analysed, and we found the Luminal B1 breast cancer had a significant proportion with 38%. Whether we need standard chemotherapy or chemotherapy based intensive endocrine therapy for those patients? In our research, we divided the patients with ER positive, PR negative, and HER-2 negative into two groups. One groups will be treated with 8 cycles of chemotherapy (EC×4-T×4). The other received 4 cycles of chemotherapy (TC×4) then will be given the intensive endocrine therapy (Goserelin acetate+Tamoxifen for young patients/Letrozole for postmenopausal patients). The primary endpoint is to assess disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in different regiments, the secondary endpoint is to assess the expression of female hormone levels. The correlation of the expression of female hormone levels with the clinical outcomes, so that the investigators could optimize adjuvant treatment regiment with luminal B1 breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to clarify whether local-distal point association is more effective than local point association by warm acupuncture in the management of breast cancer related lymphedema.
The purpose of this study is to collect blood and tissue to help develop tests that might be able to detect cancer earlier. The investigator will be collecting these samples and reviewing test results from participants who have had an area of concern found on breast imaging, as well as from participants who are scheduled to have a routine breast cancer screening mammogram.
Despite scientific, clinical and political incentives, alcohol and/or tobacco screening and brief intervention (SBI) services are poorly implemented in oncology settings. Motivational brief interventions are recognized as particularly effective in changing health behaviors, especially consumption behaviors. The motivational approach is more and more used in primary care setting but still few studies explore its effectiveness with breast cancer patients. This study aims to compare two intervention arms : educational advices intervention (EAI) versus brief motivational intervention (BMI) for alcohol and/or tobacco consumption in breast cancer women, during their treatment. In this pilot prospective randomized trial, various psychological and behavioral, variables are measured (alcohol and tobacco consumption, distress, anxiety and depressive disorders, quality of life, motivation for change, empowerment) before the brief intervention, and after 3 and 6 month.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of atezolizumab plus chemotherapy compared with placebo plus chemotherapy in patients with inoperable recurrent triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).
The human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) regulates cell growth and survival. Approximately 15-20% of all breast cancers are HER2-positive, which are an aggressive and fast-growing subtype of breast cancer. This study will evaluate a new treatment using a potent Poly polymerase (PARP) inhibitor known as Niraparib. Niraparib will be combined with trastuzumab, a HER2-targeted agent, to evaluate the safety and tolerability in patients with metastatic HER2 positive breast cancer. It is anticipated that the combination of drugs will improve survival and have few side effects.
HER2-positive cancer is a cancer that tests positive for a protein called human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). HER2 promotes the growth of certain cancer cells. This study will test DS-8201a (trastuzumab deruxtecan), a HER2-targeted antibody and topoisomerase I inhibitor conjugate. The safety and tolerability profile of DS-8201a will be assessed in Chinese patients with certain types of stomach and breast cancer that test positive for HER2. It also will test how DS-8201a moves within the body (pharmacokinetics).
This is an international, multi-centre, non-controlled, open-label, single arm, two-stage Simon Design phase II study for non-BRCA metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients with homologous recombination deficiency treated with Olaparib single agent. The main objective is to assess the efficacy of olaparib single agent as determined by Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR) using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1). In the first stage Triple negative (TN) non-BRCA, metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients whose tumours exhibited any characteristic related to homologous recombination deficiency (HRD). In the second stage, luminal patients (RH positive HER2 negative) will be allowed in the same conditions that TN. Patients whose tumours are identified as Homologous Recombination Deficient by deleterious HRR gene mutations (according to Foundation Medicine's Foundation One assay) will receive olaparib 300 mg (two tablets of 150mg) orally twice daily (bid) on days 1-28 each 28 days. Study commitment is 39 patients: 17 patients will be enrolled at first stage and 22 at the second stage. The total duration of the study period is 34 months.
This phase II trial aims to study the efficacy and safety of 12 weeks adjuvant docetaxel plus trastuzumab in patients with tumors ≤1cm, node-negative, HER2-positive breast cancer.
