Filter by:In the last decades, the proportion of breast cancer (BC) patients receiving breast-conserving surgery has increased steadily, reaching 70-80% in developed countries. Since positive resection margins are strongly associated with local recurrence risk, the goal of breast surgery is the complete tumor removal and most national and international guidelines recommend re-operation, either in form of re-excision or mastectomy, until clear margins have been reached. Re-operation rates vary widely, with population-based studies reporting a range of 15-35%, and the necessity for a second surgery can lead to increased patient anxiety, a delay in start of adjuvant treatment, worse cosmetic outcome and increased complication rates and costs. Therefore, re-operation rate has been included as a quality indicator in several countries. Several imaging-guided techniques have been developed to guide removal of non-palpable breast lesions, the oldest one being preoperative wire placement under ultrasound or mammographic guidance, usually followed by radiography or ultrasound of removed tissue. Newer techniques, such as intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS), radioguided occult lesion localization (ROLL), radioactive seed localization (RSL), radar reflector-localization (RRL), magnetic seed localization (MSL), and radiofrequency identification (RFID) tags have been introduced as an alternative to wire-guided localization (WGL). To date, comparative data on the rates of successful lesion removal, negative margins, re-operation rate and patient's comfort depending on the localization technique used are limited. Further, since some of these studies were funded by the manufacturer of the marker examined, a potential bias cannot be excluded. In the vast majority of the available studies, the patient's perspective with regard to discomfort and pain level has not been evaluated. The aim of the proposed study is to comparatively evaluate different imaging-guided localization methods used for surgical removal of malignant breast lesions with regard to oncological safety and patient-reported outcomes.
Anlotinib is an oral multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that strongly inhibits VEGFR, PDGFR, FGFR, and c-kit. Combining anti-angiogenesis with chemotherapy yielded increased response rates in patients with early-stage human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adding anlotinib to standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy in primary (HER2)-negative breast cancer. Patients aged 18 years or older with previously untreated stage ⅡB-IIIA histologically documented (HER2)-negative breast cancer were assigned to receive chemotherapy plus oral Anlotinib. The primary endpoint was pathologic complete response (pCR) (no invasive carcinoma in breast or axilla). Secondary end points included safety and disease-free survival (DFS).
This phase II trial tests whether low-dose aspirin can affect markers of inflammation in postpartum (after childbirth) patients with benign breast disease planning to have a breast biopsy. Chronic inflammation may increase the risk of postpartum related breast cancer. Low-dose aspirin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Giving low-dose aspirin may affect markers of inflammation in blood and tissue and may prevent postpartum related breast cancer.
This is a phase II, open-labeled, multi-centered, single-arm, investigator-initiated clinical trial of camrelizumab (an anti-PD-1 antibody) in combination with apatinib (a VEGFR2 TKI) for neoadjuvant treatment of patients with triple-negative breast cancer and >10% tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in baseline breast tumors. We will enroll 58 subjects (Simon's two stage design). The study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab in combination with apatinib in the neoadjuvant treatment of TNBC with a high proportion of TILs.
This Phase II/III study assessed the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity of B013 administered with nab-paclitaxel in participants with locally advanced or metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) who have not received prior systemic therapy for metastatic breast cancer (mBC).
This phase II ComboMATCH treatment trial compares the usual treatment alone (fulvestrant) to using binimetinib plus the usual treatment in patients with hormone receptor positive breast cancer that has spread from where it first started to other places in the body (metastatic) and has an NF1 genetic change. Fulvestrant is a hormonal therapy that binds to estrogen receptors in tumor cells, resulting in estrogen receptor destruction and decreased estrogen binding, which may inhibit the growth of estrogen-sensitive tumor cells. Binimetinib is a targeted therapy that may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. The addition of binimetinib to fulvestrant in breast cancers with an NF1 genetic change could increase the percentage of tumors that shrink as well as lengthen the time that the tumors remain stable (without progression) as compared to fulvestrant alone.
This research study will evaluate how well brain metastases associated with HER-2 positive breast cancer can be controlled using a type of radiation known as stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) when combined with three therapeutic agents, tucatinib, capecitabine, and trastuzumab. The combined use of SRS with the three drugs is considered investigational.
ISIdE is an European, multicentric study that aims to assess the efficacy of Sacituzumab Govitecan (SG) in locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer where the disease has progressed despite chemotherapy or within 6 months after the end of curative treatments in order to: 1. evaluate the treatment efficacy in less pretreated patients. 2. identify biomarkers that could predict response or resistance to the drug. 100 patients will be included in this trial.
Introduction: Most cases of Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) have a high proliferation rate. TNBC is associated with a poor prognosis, a high recurrence rate, and a high incidence of distant metastases. The Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition process (EMT) plays an essential role in the metastatic process. EMT markers were also more abundant in TNBC and contributed to a poorer TNBC prognosis. As an important EMT marker, the increased expression of vimentin also contributed to the increase in TNBC aggressiveness and resistance to chemotherapeutic agents. Through the mechanism of action in inhibiting the mevalonate pathway, statins can help inhibit the EMT process in metastases. Notably, simvastatin promotes the down-regulation of vimentin in breast cancer cells. The combination of statins and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) improves the cancer patient's response. This study is expected to evaluate the role of a combination between NAC and simvastatin on therapeutic response in TNBC patients through vimentin expression. Methods: This study is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial conducted in Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National Central General Hospital. An expected total of 26 TNBC patients will be assessed for eligibility and asked for informed consent. Patients with the plan to have ACT (Doxorubicin hydrochloride, Cyclophosphamide, Paclitaxel) chemotherapy regimen will receive either a combination of ACT-Simvastatin (40 mg/day) or ACT-Placebo. The biopsy will be taken pre-NAC to make the histopathological diagnosis and examine the expression of vimentin. Patients will be evaluated for adverse effects reaction every cycle and the clinical response after 8 cycles. The post-intervention biopsy will be conducted after the cycle finish. The pathological response and vimentin expression will be reviewed from the obtained samples.
The purpose of this study is to further use DCE-MRI and ivim-dwi to predict the chemotherapy sensitivity of liver metastasis of breast cancer at an early stage, and to predict the treatment response of tumor at an early stage by using the changes of their functional parameters, and to compare the efficacy and advantages of IVIM functional parameters and DCE-MRI parameters in predicting the efficacy.To explore the efficacy of "perfusion" and "diffusion" parameters of magnetic resonance imaging as "biomarkers" for early prediction of chemotherapy response and prognosis of breast cancer patients with liver metastasis. And to provide guidance for optimizing the clinical treatment scheme of breast cancer patients with liver metastasis. At the same time, this study will use the method of artificial intelligence to deeply mine the images, and further find out the indicators for early prediction of the therapeutic effect of liver metastasis of breast cancer.
