Filter by:The investigators seek to conduct a home based exercise intervention in breast cancer patients whom elect to undergo neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The primary aim of the study is to determine whether breast cancer patients can be enrolled, randomized, retained, and comply with exercise program; and, the feasibility of acquiring, managing and analyzing clinical data.
The goal of this trial is to evaluate the effect of the prone crawl treatment position and/or accelerated schedule on acute and late toxicities, as well as quality of life and time management for breast cancer patients receiving whole breast and regional nodal irradiation after breast conserving surgery.
This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of several immunotherapy-based combination treatments in participants with inoperable locally advanced or metastatic HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer who have progressed during or following treatment with a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitor in the first- or second-line setting, such as palbociclib, ribociclib, or abemaciclib. The study will be performed in two stages. During Stage 1, participants will be randomized to fulvestrant (control) or an atezolizumab-containing doublet or triplet combination. Those who experience disease progression, loss of clinical benefit, or unacceptable toxicity may be eligible to receive a new triplet combination treatment in Stage 2 until loss of clinical benefit or unacceptable toxicity. New treatment arms may be added and/or existing treatment arms may be closed during the course of the study on the basis of ongoing clinical efficacy and safety as well as the current treatments available.
This Non-Interventional Study will describe and analyze the clinical use of palbociclib in routine clinical practice in the treatment of advanced breast cancer.
In the previous study, the investigator established a predictive model for non-sentinel lymph node involvement in early breast cancer (cT1-2cN0, 1-2 SLNs involvement). To validation the clinical value of the model, the investigator design a prospectively research using the model guiding for further axillary lymph node dissection in SLN-positve early breast cancer.
This study compares the efficacy (adherence and stage) of four interventions to promote colorectal (CRC) and breast cancer (BC) screenings among women ages 50 to 75. They are: 1. usual care; 2. a TIWeb (tailored intervention Website) 3. a CSC (cancer screening call) and 4. TIWeb + a CSC. This study also compares the cost-effectiveness of the 4 interventions to promote CRC and BC screening among women ages 50 to 75.
In Canada, approximately 68 women are diagnosed with breast cancer every day. Chemotherapy-related cognitive changes (CRCC) are reported by up to 75% of breast cancer survivors during treatment and symptoms persist in 35% of survivors after treatment. Women report that CRCC negatively impacts their everyday functioning and substantially reduces their overall quality of life. Effective clinical interventions to manage CRCC are elusive. As a result, breast cancer survivors typically receive little to no advice on how to prevent or manage CRCC. Aerobic exercise is a type of physical activity that uses large muscle groups, is rhythmic in nature, and can be sustained for at least 10 minutes (e.g., walking, jogging, indoor cycling). It has been associated with improved quality of life in breast cancer survivors. It also holds great promise as an intervention to prevent or mitigate CRCC. However, there is limited evidence from experimental studies to confirm this. Therefore, the primary aim of this trial is to evaluate the impact of a supervised aerobic exercise intervention on CRCC in women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. Recruited women will be randomized into one of two groups: (1) aerobic exercise during chemotherapy, or (2) usual care during chemotherapy and the aerobic exercise post-chemotherapy (i.e., wait-list control group). This study will test several novel hypotheses, including whether exercise during chemotherapy can prevent and/or mitigate CRCC and its negative impact on quality of life among women with breast cancer, and whether the timing of the exercise intervention matters (i.e., exercise during versus after chemotherapy). The results of this study aim to address the concerns of women affected by CRCC who are currently lacking available evidence-based treatment options, as well as oncology care providers' need to have options to recommend to their patients to prevent or manage CRCC.
Background: Internet-delivered interventions (IDI) can provide remarkable opportunities in addressing breast cancer (BC) survivors' unmet needs, as they present an effective strategy to improve care coordination and provide access to efficacious, cost-efficient and convenient survivorship care. Nevertheless, research focusing on this field and aiming at improving survivors´ psychosocial needs is scarce and its practical implementation is limited. Objectives: This study aims at studying BC patients´ and healthcare providers' attitudes towards IDI; exploring BC patients´ unmet support needs and; determining the acceptability, feasibility, efficacy and cost-effectiveness of iACT-BC, a guided internet-delivered individually-tailored ACT-influenced cognitive behavioural intervention designed to improve psychosocial outcomes in BC survivors when compared to treatment as usual. The primary outcomes in this research are anxiety and depression. Secondary outcomes include psychological flexibility, fatigue, insomnia, Sexual dysfunction (SD) and Health Related Quality of Life. Methods: A multimethod research design will be applied and two consecutive studies will be performed. Study 1 will explore participants´ attitudes towards IDI as well as, BC patients' psychosocial unmet needs by adopting an exploratory cross-sectional study design. Study 2 will investigate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of iACT-BC in BC survivors, by implementing a two-arm, parallel, open label, multicentre, waiting list randomized controlled trial. Expected Results: It is anticipated that iACT-BC will show to be an effective and cost-effective program in improving anxiety, depression, psychological flexibility, fatigue, insomnia, SD and HRQoL in BC survivors, as opposing to a waiting list control under treatment as usual. The results of this research will be published in accordance with CONSORT 2010 and CONSORT-EHEALTH guidelines and should be available for publication in February 2020.
The Epidemiological Strategy and Medical Economic (ESME) Ovarian cancer Data Platform is a multi-center real life database using a retrospective data collection process (18 FCCCs over 20 sites). This database compiles data from Patient's Electronic medical records (EMR), inpatient Hospitalisation records and Pharmacy records.
This is a prospective, open-label, real-word study evaluating the efficacy and safety of lapatinib in combination with chemotherapy versus trastuzumab in combination with chemotherapy in women with HER2-positive and p95HER2-positive ,or PI3K mutation, or PTEN loss breast cancer . Eligible subjects will have newly diagnosed breast cancer (Stage II-III) ; not have received systemic or local treatment . The primary endpoint was the rate of pathological complete response (pCR). The secondary objectives are to evaluate overall survival, overall response rate, clinical benefit response rate and the safety as well as tolerability of lapatinib plus chemotherapy and trastuzumab plus chemotherapy. Patients will receive lapatinib 1000 mg daily or trastuzumab 4 mg/kg intravenous (IV) load followed by 2 mg/kg IV weekly for a total of 12 weeks. After surgery, patients planned total duration of the anti-HER2 therapy will be one year.
