Filter by:A robust knowledge of how to reduce breast density could play a key role in breast cancer prevention in premenopausal women, but viable preventative targets to reduce breast density-associated breast cancer risk are yet to be developed. The investigators propose to investigate the effect of RANKL inhibition with denosumab on breast tissue markers in high-risk premenopausal women with dense breasts. Study findings could provide robust evidence to move forward with a clinical trial targeting RANKL inhibition in premenopausal breast cancer prevention.
This study will look at the safety and effectiveness of the combination of palbociclib and letrozole and ovarian suppression for premenopausal patients who have ER-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer that has not yet been treated.
The goal of this study is to evaluate an educational video intervention (called Starting the Conversation) aimed to enhance breast cancer patients' beliefs about and communication with respect to sexual concerns. In the current study, 128 breast cancer outpatients will be randomized to either participate in the video intervention and to receive a resource guide addressing sexual and menopausal health or to receive the resource guide alone. Patients will be asked to participate in the video and/or read through the resource guide prior to their clinic visit with their breast cancer provider. The investigators will examine effects of the interventions on patients' beliefs about communication about sexual health and on patients' communication about sexual health during clinic visits with their providers. Secondarily, the investigators will examine effects of the interventions on sexual outcomes and other health outcomes, including psychological well-being and health-related QOL.
Surgery is the primary curative option for patients with cancer, with the overall objective of complete resection of all cancerous tissue while avoiding damage to healthy tissue. In addition, sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping and resection is an essential step in staging and managing the disease. Even with the latest advancements in imaging technology, incomplete tumor resection in patients with breast cancer is at an alarming rate of 20-25%, with recurrence rates of up to 27%. The clinical need for imaging instruments that provide real-time feedback in the operating room is unmet, largely due to the use of imaging systems based on contemporary technological advances in the semiconductor and optical fields, which have bulky and costly designs with suboptimal sensitivity and co-registration accuracy between multimodal images. To address these challenges, the investigators have introduced an innovative design comprising a bio-inspired multispectral sensor which can significantly improve image-guided surgery. The objective of this clinical study is to determine the feasibility of using a bio-inspired multispectral imaging system to detect sentinel lymph nodes and cancerous tissue during intraoperative procedures in patients with breast cancer.
This is a first-in-human (FIH), open-label, phase 1 dose-escalation study of KN026 in subjects with HER2 positive advanced breast and Gastric Cancer. The standard "3 + 3" design was used for dose escalation. There are 5 proposed dose levels which are 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 mg/kg, but dosing interval may be adjusted during the study (such as QW, OR Q2W, OR Q3W) based on emerging data from this trial and/or from phase 1 trial of KN026 in other country. Dose escalation will continue until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is reached or if MTD is not found, dose escalation will continue until the MAD of 20 mg / kg is reached. Dose expansion will carried out in 20 mg/kg Q2W and 30 mg/kg Q3W.
The main objective of the study is to investigate the effects of Kinect® video based technology on pain, functionality, muscle strength, fatigue and quality of life in patients with breast cancer surgery and axillary node dissection.
This study is an NCI-funded, randomized control pilot trial to evaluate: (1) the feasibility and acceptability of a web-based, personalized navigation tool (ConnectedCancerCare) and (2) explore whether the tool improves delivery of team-based survivorship care for women who have recently finished primary breast cancer treatment.
A prospective, double-blinded randomized controlled, 1-year follow-up study was designed to compare the analgesic effect of serratus plane block (SPB) after breast cancer surgery. Women undergoing radical mastectomy were dIvided into Control group and SPB group. The postoperative acute pain was evaluated by numerical rating scale (NRS) and the effect of preventing chronic pain was assessed at 3, 6, 12 months after surgery by NRS.
Collection of tumor and blood samples from subjects enrolled in the main study (LEE011A2404) will undergo proteomic and ctDNA analysis respectively to better understand mechanisms of response and resistance to ribociclib in combination with letrozole therapy.
The aim of this prospective, observational study is the evaluation of the effectiveness of a 14-day Specialist Palliative Care therapy in participants with advanced breast cancer carried out in a stationary palliative care unit in Poland. The length of the entire study will be 36 months.
