Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare, for the second reading of screening mammograms, the standard of care with an AI assisted scenario. The main questions it aims to answer are: - will the experimental pathway be non-inferior to the standard pathway? - will the experimental pathway be economically superior to the standard pathway? Participants will receive screening mammograms, as part of the breast cancer screening program. Researchers will compare the interpretation made by the second reader in the standard pathway with the AI assisted interpretation made by a different reader in the experimental pathway.
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid bilayer-delimited particles, naturally released from cells and mediators of intercellular cross-talk. In breast cancer (BC), EVs seem to be involved in the tumor microenvironment's shaping, in cancer cells invasion and in the set-up of metastasis. Clinical studies have provided initial evidence that these vesicles may have a prognostic and predictive value in breast cancer. Considering their ubiquitous presence in body fluids and their minimally invasive assessment through blood sampling, EVs could have a potential as liquid biopsy-derived biomarkers. Their quantification though is a complex task requiring complicated and time-consuming pre-analytical procedures of EVs isolation. This protocol want to develop a new method for the detection of tumor-derived-EVs associated proteins, based on the use of Single Molecule Array (SiMoA), a digital ELISA technology able to detect and quantify extremely low concentrations of target proteins or particles. The aim of this study is to evaluate how this new technology can allow the quantification of EVs plasma levels in patients affected by BC, providing useful diagnostic and prognostic information.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to compare diagnostic results of secondary breast cancer surveillance using breast ultrasound abbreviated MRI and full protocol MRI.
The standard method for localizing non-palpable breast cancer is currently preoperative wire-guided localization, its positive margin rate still remains around 20-50%. This study aims to compare the accuracy and efficacy of wire vs. combined breast tissue markers in localizing non-palpable breast cancer.
The aim of the study is to find out whether supervised physical exercise during cancer drug treatment improves the effectiveness of the treatment in metastasized breast, kidney, ovarian and prostate cancer compared to unsupervised exercise. In addition, the investigators are investigating whether the use of atorvastatin combined with guided group exercise training would further improve the response to cancer treatment.
This is an ambispective, single-center study to evaluate the survival outcomes, adverse events and predictive biomarkers for CDK4/6 inhibitors in patients with hormone receptor-positive advanced breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug combination (trastuzumab deruxtecan and durvalumab) to learn whether the intervention works in treating Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor-2 (HER2)-expressing inflammatory breast cancer. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: - Trastuzumab deruxtecan - Durvalumab
There is only limited data for premenopausal patients in general, as well as for differences in the use of OFS in the subgroups of pre- and perimenopausal patients, respectively. The WSG ADAPT trial data on the impact of postmenopausal status and/or use of OFS within 3-4 weeks endocrine induction therapy show relevant impact of OFS/postmenopausal status on Ki-67 response; also, secondary amenorrhea after (neo-)adjuvant chemotherapy was a positive predictor of outcome due to OFS [8, 9]. This registry will give insights in the real-world use of OFS and the effect of secondary amenorrhea in female pre- and perimenopausal patients with or without previous use of chemotherapy and with different endocrine treatments (ET +/- GnRH). As adherence over time (5-10 years) plays a major role in the endocrine treatment, the registry will follow patients' treatments for up to 10 years and include QoL information. Results of MammaPrint® (MammaPrint® Index) as indicating factor for chemotherapy use and risk classification, thus, choice of adjuvant treatment (chemotherapy, OFS combined with endocrine therapy, or endocrine therapy alone) will be correlated to outcome under real-world conditions. Baseline, treatment, and relapse data shall be collected to gain further insight in the treatment paths, treatment adherence, and outcome of such patients.
This clinical trial evaluates whether home-based respiratory muscle training is useful for minimizing side effects in patients undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Over-activation of the nervous system during breast cancer treatment can result in heart- and lung-related side effects which have the potential to reduce a patient's quality of life. Aerobic exercise can help prevent the development of these side effects. However, engaging in regular aerobic exercise may be difficult for breast cancer patients who are actively undergoing treatment. Respiratory muscle training (RMT) involves a series of breathing and other exercises that are performed to improve the function of the respiratory muscles through resistance and endurance training. Home-based RMT may represent a more feasible approach for reducing side effects in patients undergoing treatment for breast cancer.
This study collects blood samples as well as clinical and self-report data from stage I-III breast cancer survivors to create a biorepository for future use. The creation of this biorepository will allow for future research into links between individual, molecular, and genomic signatures and cancer outcomes.
