Filter by:The purpose of the study was to investigate the therapeutic effect of Yoga on aromatic inhibitor-induced chronic knee pain in patients with breast cancer.
The reason for this study is to determine the recommended phase 2 dose of the study drug LY3295668 erbumine in participants with breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.
To assess the safety and tolerability characteristics of B003 in HER2-positive patients with recurrent or metastatic breast cancer. The dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is assessed and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is explored.
1. The primary objective is to compare rates of persistence (continuation) of any endocrine therapy (ET) between patients assigned to standard of care follow-up (control arm) versus standard of care plus a bi-directional text messaging intervention (intervention arm) 2. The secondary objectives are: (i) To assess time to permanent discontinuation of ET (switching from an aromatase inhibitor to another ET is permitted). The investigators will also account for treatment breaks. (ii) To assess QOL at baseline, and at 6 and 12 months after initiation of ET (FACT-ES1, Brief Pain Inventory2, Overall Treatment Burden3,4, individual symptom LASA scales4) and compare between arms (iii) To assess adherence self-efficacy (SEAMS5 tool, Voils Extent of Non-Adherence Scale6), financial burden (COST tool7,8), beliefs about medications (modified BMQ tool9,10), and perceived ability to communicate with one's physician (PEPPI11 tool) and compare between arms (iv) To compare the time to endocrine therapy discontinuation in both the intervention and control arms (v) To characterize factors (including clinicopathologic features, socioeconomic status, and comorbidities) associated with non-adherence in both the intervention arm and the control arm, which may enable us to identify women who are at particularly high risk of non-adherence. (vi) To assess adherence to medication as reported through the BETA-Text intervention (vii) To collect the time to onset and trend of severity of side effects in women assigned to the text messaging intervention.
REaCT-RETT will demonstrate the non-inferiority of concurrent compared to sequential endocrine therapy in patients receiving post-operative radiotherapy for early stage breast cancer.
This study explores whether a commonly used medication called Pantoprazole can help prevent delayed nausea and vomiting from chemotherapy for early breast cancer. Delayed nausea, and occasionally vomiting, can occur after breast cancer chemotherapy, affecting quality of life. A potential cause of these delayed side effects is that the chemotherapy may cause stomach irritation. Pantoprazole is commonly used to treat stomach irritation by reducing stomach acid, which may in turn improve nausea and/or vomiting. Patients undergoing breast cancer chemotherapy before or after primary surgery will be invited to participate in the study. They will be asked how much nausea or vomiting they have with and without Pantoprazole from Day 2 until 5 after they receive chemotherapy. All participants will still receive all of the usual anti-sickness medications, which are very effective in preventing sickness in the first 24 hours after treatment, but not for delayed symptoms. Information from the study may lead to a change in practice with patients using Pantoprazole to reduce the risks of delayed nausea and vomiting.
The present investigation aims to evaluate the efficacy of an innovative protocol of controlled ovarian stimulation for breast cancer patients, who are candidates for fertility preservation. Currently, vitrification of oocytes and/or embryos after controlled ovarian stimulation is the most established method for female fertility preservation. However, this stimulation induces an increase in serum estrogen levels, which is theoretically problematic in case of hormone-sensitive tumors such as breast cancer. The majority of oncology teams accept, in very specific situations (particularly when the tumor has been surgically removed), this ovarian stimulation, because the expected benefits of fertility preservation far outweigh the risks. However, everyone agrees that it would be more comfortable to be able to offer vitrification of oocytes and/or embryos using ovarian stimulation without increasing estrogen levels. In this research, investigators will evaluate the efficacy of degarelix (Firmagon®), currently indicated for the treatment of prostate cancer, as an innovative ovarian stimulation procedure. Administered at the beginning of ovarian stimulation, they believe it should maintain serum estradiol levels at physiological values at the end of stimulation.
This phase II study based on the Cyberknife Society study will evaluate the technical feasibility and acute toxicity of Partial Breast Irradiation (PBI) with the Cyberknife. It will evaluate quality of life (QOL) issues as they relate to treatment-related side effects, cosmetic result and patient convenience. It will evaluate outcome in terms of local control in the treated breast. Radiosurgery is defined as the stereotactic delivery of ionizing radiation in 5 stages or less to a designated target with sub-millimeter accuracy. Radiosurgery in the context of this protocol will be given to the region of the tumor bed with 7 weeks of the lumpectomy and sent/axillary node sampling over the period of five to ten days using the Cyberknife (CK) or within the 7 weeks of the last chemotherapy treatment if given.
The purpose of this study is to assess the quality of life and sexuality during adjuvant chemotherapy in over 65 years old patients with breast cancer
This study aims to find whether complete decongestive therapy used in breast cancer-related lymphedema has an effect on muscle strength in the affected arm, while assessing the efficacy of the therapy itself. 74 patients with breast cancer related lymphedema were included in this study. Patients were taken their demographic and clinical history and were evaluated with measurements of extremity volumes and hand grip strengths using a hand dynamometer before and after the complete decongestive therapy. Data were then assessed using relevant statistical methods.
