Filter by:The homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) status in Chinese population with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is little known. This study would recruit 1300 Chinese EOC patients. A multi-panel testing of 36 genes would be given for these patients in their peripheral blood and tumor tissues. These 36 genes include: BRCA1, BRCA2, ABRAXAS1(FAM175A）, ATM, ATR, BAP1, BARD1, BRIP1, C11ORF30（EMSY）, CDK12, CHEK1, CHEK2, FANCA, FANCC, FANCD2, FANCI, FANCL, MRE11A, NBN, PALB2, PPP2R2A, PTEN, RAD50, RAD51B, RAD51C, RAD51D, RAD54B, RAD54, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, EPCAM, STK11, TP53, CDH1. The study would select 150 patients with pathogenic or likely pathogenic mutations in BRCA1/2 and 150 patients without these mutations to further explore the HRD status. The HRD model is based on the loss of heterozygosity (LOH), telomere allele imbalance (TAI) and large-scale state transitions (LST). The mutated genes, HRD score model and their relationship with the prognosis, would provide a full description of for the Chinese EOC patients.
Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) with immediate reconstruction is one of the standard of care surgical treatments of breast cancer (BC) and is used for risk reduction in patients with a high risk for BC. While this method shows satisfactory oncologic and good cosmetic outcomes, its drawbacks include compromise of the skin flap vascularization due to skin incision, nipple-areolar complex (NAC) malposition/distortion and visible scar on the breast. NSM also has technical challenges of dissecting and removing larger specimens through limited incisions and concerns regarding oncologic effectiveness due to difficulties in visualizing regions of the breast remote from the incision. To improve cosmetic outcomes after NSM, a modification of this technique using a surgical robotic system was recently described. In a limited number of studies, the robotic NSM (RNSM) with immediate prosthetic breast reconstruction (IPBR) was shown to be feasible and safe, as well as led to excellent cosmetic outcomes and patient satisfaction. There are limited number of centers in North America and none in Canada that offer RNSM-IPBR. The investigators hypothesize that RNSM-IPBR is a feasible and safe technique that can be utilized in our institution and that it can provide superior cosmetic outcomes with less morbidity and higher patient satisfaction compared to the traditional NSM-IPBR. The aim is to conduct a single-arm prospective study to investigate the safety and feasibility, as well as cosmetic, surgical complication and patient satisfaction parameters of NSM-IPBR performed in the University Health Network (UHN). This study will serve a foundation for potential introduction of a novel surgical approach in our institution and will make it available for treatment and prevention of breast cancer in Canadian women. The study will also serve as pilot data for future potential studies, including randomized-controlled trials (RCT) comparing RNSM with conventional NSM. As such, the study will further our approach to innovation in breast surgical oncology within Canada and North America.
The clinical trial is a phase 1, single-arm trial that will evaluate the safety of the investigational treatment on metastatic cancer in patients who have a deleterious or suspected deleterious BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2 genetic alteration. The investigational treatment will involve 2 cycles of a combination of intravenous melphalan, BCNU, low-dose I.V. ethanol, vitamin B12b, and vitamin C in association with autologous hematopoietic stem cell infusion. A dose-escalation schedule will be employed for vitamin C.
Robotic mastectomy with immediate reconstruction was introduced by Toesca et al. in 2015. Since then, several studies have reported the safety and feasibility of robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction. However, most studies were conducted by single centers and had small samples. Furthermore, there is a lack of studies comparing surgical and oncologic outcomes between robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy and conventional nipple-sparing mastectomy. For this reason, this study evaluates surgical and oncologic outcomes of robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction using international multi-center data.
IRFARPC is a multicenter national registry designed to study the diagnosis and predisposing factors of subjects with an inherited increased risk for pancreatic cancer.
This is a phase II/III randomized controlled trial to evaluate efficacy of platinum-based chemotherapy vs conventionally prescribed non-platinum monochemotherapy in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer
Relationship between the presence of the BRCA mutation (BReast Cancer) and outcomes is unclear in high-risk early breast cancers (BC). This study is a multi-center retrospective cohort of patients treated in region Franche-Comté for an early BC by neoadjuvant and/or adjuvant chemotherapy. The primary aim was to describe clinical and pathological characteristics considering BRCA mutated (BRCAm) patients versus BRCA wild type (BRCAwt) patients or untested patients. The second objective was to assess the prognostic impact of germinal BRCAm in this high-risk population.
Risk-Reducing Salpingo-Oophorectomy (RRSO) at the age of 35 to 45 years is recommended for women with a high genetic risk for ovarian cancer. While this procedure decreases the risk of ovarian cancer by 80-96%, it also results in an immediate menopause. Current research on potential adverse effects of premenopausal risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy, such as increased risk of cardiovascular disease, compromised bone health, cognitive dysfunction and reduced quality of life, is limited, mostly due to short follow up. The investigators will conduct a multicenter cross-sectional study nested in a cohort of BRCA mutation carriers from 8 Dutch centers for hereditary cancer. Eligible participants are women who underwent RRSO before the age of 45. The participants will be frequency-matched on current age with women above the age of 55 without RRSO or with RRSO after the age of 55. Participants will complete an online questionnaire containing various questions about lifestyle, medical history, risk factors for cardiovascular disease, bone health, cognition and quality of life. Participants will be asked to visit one of the participating hospitals for a blood test, a cardiovascular assessment and a DEXA scan for determining bone mineral density. Afterwards participants will be requested to perform the online Amsterdam Cognition Scale.
The objective of this protocol is to develop an institution-wide liquid biopsy protocol that will establish a common process for collecting blood and corresponding archived tumor specimens for future research studies at the University Health Network's Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. Circulating cell-free nucleic acids (cfNA), including cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and cell-free RNA (cfRNA), are non-invasive, real-time biomarkers that can provide diagnostic and prognostic information before cancer diagnosis, during cancer treatment, and at disease progression. Cancer research scientists and clinicians at the Princess Margaret are interested in incorporating the collection of peripheral blood samples ("liquid biopsies") into research protocols as a means of non-invasively assessing tumor progression and response to treatment at multiple time points during a patient's course of disease.
The main purpose of this research study is to learn whether the investigational combination of olaparib, palbociclib, and fulvestrant is safe in patients with estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer and BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations.
