Filter by:Breast cancer patients often suffer from long-term physical symptoms of weakness. In this study, investigators propose to compare how two different low intensity physical exercise training programs can improve handgrip strength for breast cancer patients with symptoms of weakness. Using brain imaging, the study will also investigate changes in brain structure, and muscle activity associated with handgrip.
The aim of this study is the safety and efficacy of cryosurgery plus NK immunotherapy to advanced breast cancer.
The aim of this study is the safety and efficacy of Trastuzumab plus natural killer(NK) immunotherapy to recurrent breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a supervised exercise-training program, initiated prior to chemotherapy induction (pre-conditioning) and continued throughout chemotherapy treatment, can preserve short- and long-term cardiovascular performance, skeletal muscle function, cognitive ability and quality of life better than current standard or care recommendations for exercise during chemotherapy.
The study is a prospective, randomized phase II clinical trial, to compare the efficacy and safety profiles of standard chemotherapy versus standard chemotherapy followed by capecitabine as prolonged postoperative adjuvant treatment for breast cancer patients.
Adjuvant chemotherapy with the protocol 3 cure of 5-FU + Epirubicine + Cyclophosphamide (FEC100) and 3 cure of Taxotere is a standard treatment in the management of patients with breast cancer and in adjuvant situation. The efficacy of 3 FEC100 and 3 Taxotere protocol in adjuvant situation for women treated for breast cancer is associated with several invalidating side effects for the quality of life of patients. 92% of women treated will present gastrointestinal toxicities of any grade. 11% will present nausea and vomiting of grade 3-4. Current treatments to prevent these gastrointestinal toxicities include Emend from Day 1 to Day 3 in association with setrons at Day 1 and corticosteroids from Day 1 to Day 3. Despite the marked improvement in gastrointestinal toxicities with preventive treatments, 83% of patients would use alternatives medicine: homeopathy, herbal medicine, acupuncture, hypnotherapy and / or osteopathy. Osteopathy is a method of care and unconventional therapeutic approach. In France, the professional title of osteopath is recognized. It aims to prevent and treat functional disorders, especially those related to adverse effects of treatment. In oncology, this discipline may have additional support for the patient by limiting the mechanical and physical constraints of sensitive areas to the toxicity of the treatment. In the case of gastrointestinal toxicities of myofascial and musculoskeletal techniques are used in abdominal areas to relieve symptoms. The investigators hypothesis is that osteopathy could have an interest in the management of gastrointestinal toxicities related to chemotherapy in women with breast cancer and in adjuvant treatment situation.
This study aims to improve relationship, psychological, and physical adjustment among young breast cancer survivors (YBCS; diagnosed at age 45 or younger) and their committed/life partners. A mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) intervention has been designed to meet the specific needs for young breast cancer survivors and their partners. The intervention will be administered in your home by using recorded videos of a trained MBSR instructor. Before, during, and after the 8-week intervention, participants will be asked to complete surveys.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of CAR-pNK cell immunotherapy in patients with MUC1 positive relapsed or refractory solid tumor.
Due to better treatment options and earlier detection, survival rates of patients with breast cancer continue to increase. As such, (late) treatment toxicity, (long-term) quality of life and the cosmetic outcome are becoming more important. Also, many competing experimental interventions (e.g. treatment, lifestyle interventions) for breast cancer are being developed, all in need to be properly evaluated before being implemented in routine clinical care. Randomized Controlled Trials are the gold standard to do so, but they have shown many challenges, especially when applied in a cancer setting. The 'cohort multiple Randomized Controlled Trial (cmRCT)' design is a promising design for multiple (simultaneous) randomized evaluations of experimental interventions, with potential for increased recruitment, comparability and long-term outcomes as a standard. By setting up UMBRELLA, as a prospective cohort according to the cmRCT design, the investigators aim to: - provide an infrastructure for efficient, fast and pragmatic evaluation and implementation of experimental interventions - gain insight into short and long-term treatment response, toxicity, complications, quality of life and survival of patients with breast cancer.
Because neoplastic disease is one of the leading causes of death worldwide and breast cancer is one of the most frequent neoplasia among women, the possibility of influencing the evolution of patients starting from the moment of surgical intervention using a perianesthesic intervention is a scientific topic of high interest. The study will compare two anesthetic techniques and their efficiency in lowering the factors that can favorize the dissemination of neoplasia and their role in the prevention of postoperative pain. The serum level of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) will be determined before and after the surgical intervention after using two different types of anesthesia (inhalational and intravenous), and the immunohistochemical expression of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR) will be determined on the excised tissue. For the two different types of anesthesia a continuous infusion of lidocaine 1% will be associated. The study will compare the short-term and long term-outcome of the patients assigned the two different types of anesthesia and their immediate postoperative evolution .
