Filter by:The purpose of the study is to find best post-operative rehabilitation protocol after total mastectomy and immediate reconstruction with tissue expander insertion. This study compared outcomes of two post-operative rehabilitation protocols ; "conventional protocol", which immobilized shoulder and upper arm motion for a month and "early rehabilitation protocol" with short-term immobilization period and early mobilization.
A single-institutional cohort to determine the prevalence of new immunohistochemical panel in advanced triple-negative submitted to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and its association with response and survival.
Music and music therapy are now widely used as non-pharmacological intervention techniques in different clinical and therapeutic settings. The present study includes the use of musical listening related to the concept of "Music Medicine", a possibility of modifying the psycho-physiological state of the patient through the targeted use of musical pieces respondent to specific parameters and musical structures able to interact in particular conditions with the psycho-somatic imbalances to which the person is subjected. In particular, in this study, in addition to proposing a traditional listening method, the music used in one of the research arms will be composed of an artificial intelligence called "Melomics-Health". The objective of the study is to verify whether the perception of anxiety and stress in cancer patients undergoing Radiotherapy is influenced by music listening ("Melomics-Health" music vs listening to favorite music). Sixty breast cancer surgical patients, candidates for post-operative radiotherapy with a healing purpose. Patients who will undergo Radiation therapy for the first time in their lives will be included. Patients will be recruited in this randomized controlled study with a sequential enrollment and, in the case of inclusion, will be assigned to one of the following 3 groups: a) "Melomics-Health" music listening group (n = 20); b) favorite music listening group (n = 20); c) no-music control group (n = 20). Music groups will undergo 15 minutes music listening immediately before the simulation and the first 5 sessions of radiotherapy. Patients will be subjected to a psychological assessment focused on anxiety (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory) and distress (Psychological Distress Inventory) dimensions at the baseline (T0), at the end of the treatments (T1) and at the Follow-up (T2, 2 weeks after the fifth session of Radiotherapy). A specific questionnaire will also be submitted to the patients included in music groups. This questionnaire will allow the music therapist to acquire specific qualitative information regarding the different types of music listening and the responses of the subjects to them. Descriptive statistics will be produced for all the variables detected.The effectiveness of musical listening in relation to the psychological aspects considered will be evaluated by applying analysis of variance models.
The hypothesis of this study is to discover if the all-oral therapy with apatinib plus oral Etoposide can shrink or slow the growth of pretreated HER2 negative metastatic breast cancer.
This pilot clinical trial studies how well a ketogenic diet and chemotherapy work in affecting the return of cancer in patients with stage IV breast cancer. Ketogenic diet may be more effective than standard nutrition and may affect quality of life, inflammation, and tumor-related changes. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving ketogenic diet and chemotherapy may be better in patients with breast cancer.
Fresh breast core biopsies suspicious for breast cancer that are usually taken during clinical breast assessments will be imaged via confocal microscopy. The device so called HistologTM Scanner is based on confocal fluorescence and displays microscopic histology images superficial layers of fresh tissue. After the imaging procedure the fresh breast tissue specimen will be followed according to the gold standard workflow (H&E-stained images). Subsequently, two pathologists will analyze the HistologTM Scanner obtained-images and H&E-stained images for potential breast cancer structures. A comparison of both analyses for cancer visualization will be performed to evaluate the feasibility of using confocal microscopy for breast cancer detection.
This is a single arm, phase II study to evaluate if the combination of T-DM1 with palbociclib improves progression-free survival in patients with metastatic HER2 positive breast cancer. All patients will be treated with T-DM1 with palbociclib.
The 3-year DISCO study aims to systematically implement physical activity in breast cancer patients. The primary objective is to investigate the efficacy of a connected device (personalized non-supervised exercise program including a wristband as activity tracker, a smartphone application, and a website) and the efficacy of a therapeutic education program on the physical activity level of patients at the end of the 6-month programs. The research hypothesis is that patients participating in the intervention with the connected device or in the therapeutic education program will achieve the international recommendations in terms of physical activity, compared to women receiving only physical activity recommendations.
PRO-COM Project: Randomized-controlled study evaluating the impact of electronic patient reported outcome (ePRO) surveys on patient-physician communication and quality of life in patients with advanced breast cancer
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of anti-PD-L1/TGFbetaRII fusion protein M7824 (M7824) when given together with radiation therapy in treating patients with hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. M7824 is a drug that targets specific proteins on immune cells in order to activate immune responses against tumor cells. Giving M7824 together with radiation therapy may work better in treating patients with breast cancer.
