Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about companionship needs in breast cancer patients who are pathologically or cytologically diagnosed as cancer, are alive with the tumor, and have TNM clinical stage IV. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Patients with advanced breast cancer need family companionship 2. Analyze and study the reasons and factors that affect the physical and mental impact of effective family companionship on patients with advanced breast cancer Participants will be divided into a companion group and a non-accompaniment group. Patients in the companion group are given graded companion intervention methods. A comparison group: Researchers will compare a non-accompaniment group to see if the physical and mental impact of companionship on patients.
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of end-of-life conversation game "Hello" as a tool to help individuals with various solid cancer types (including: breast, gastro-intestinal, lung, melanoma, head and neck, and/or genito-urinary cancers) treated at Penn State Health clinics and their loved ones perform advance care planning (ACP). The main questions it aims to answer are: What modifications and/or adaptations are necessary to Hello for use in cancer populations? What impact does participation in Hello event have on health care usage (e.g., number of hospitalizations, ICU admissions, emergency department visits, etc.)? How feasible is it to randomize participants to play either Hello for Cancer or Table Topics? Participants will: - Complete pre-game questionnaires - Play either Hello or Table Topics game - Complete post-game questionnaires - Participate in a focus group - Complete a telephone follow up interview 1-4 months after their event This study is a continuation of NCT06028152.
The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of surgical dissection of supraclavicular lymph nodes combined with radiotherapy versus radiotherapy alone in patients with ipsilateral supraclavicular lymph node metastasis.
This investigation is a prospective breast cancer screening study open to all transgender and gender-diverse persons (regardless of sex assigned at birth). Using a mixed methods approach, the study will 1) gather prospective quantitative breast imaging data in conjunction with gender-affirming therapy and family cancer history and 2) investigate TGD persons perceptions and experiences in the breast cancer screening program, and 3) identify individual and systems-level barriers to breast cancer screening.
Our objective is based on a personalized approach of adjuvant breast radiotherapy by selecting patients according to tumor recurrence and toxicity risk.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the experimental treatment with poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitor, ACE-86225106 is safe, tolerable and has anti-cancer activity in adult patients with advanced solid tumors.
The current observational study aims to perform the sentinel lymph node in breast cancer in the usual way with technetium 99 and add a second tracer, indocyanine green. The objective is to evaluate the detection rate of the lymph node with indocyanine green compared to the usual technique.
Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is the standard procedure to stage the axilla in clinically node-negative invasive breast cancer (IBC) patients undergoing upfront surgery. The ACOSOG-Z0011 and the AMAROS trial demonstrated that SLNB with or without radiotherapy provided equivalent local control and survival to axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) in early-stage breast cancer patients with 1 or 2 positive SLNs. However, the ACOSOG-Z0011 trial did not included patients treated with mastectomy, and the AMAROS trial only included 17% of mastectomy patients. The investigators conduct an observational cohort study of early stage breast cancer patients receiving upfront mastectomy with 1 or 2 macrometastases after SLNB. The study aim to demonstrate a 5-year disease-free survival of not less than 80% when ALND is omitted and replaced by axillary radiotherapy, and determine the axillary recurrence rate.
Supervised, prescribed exercise has positive effects on body composition, physical functioning, psychological wellbeing and quality of life for patients after breast cancer treatment. However, exercise interventions are often time consuming, commonly take place at a health or fitness facility, and usually require a trained professional to be present. Cost-effective, enjoyable and practical approaches, that can be adopted at home or in local surroundings are needed. For example, an alternative approach is using an electronic physical activity tracking wristwatch to help patients engage with exercise or physical activity. Research demonstrates the importance of structured and supervised exercise for breast cancer survivors. However, it is not known whether other approaches (e.g. home-based exercise and physical activity) alongside the use of personalised technology-enabled feedback, can cause similar improvements to health when compared to structured exercise. The overall aim of this study is to determine whether cardiorespiratory fitness is changed by a technology enabled, remotely delivered exercise intervention and to determine whether this change is similar to the change caused by a partly supervised, prescribed exercise intervention. This study will also determine the influence of both interventions on physical functioning, body composition and blood pressure.
A Single-center, open, prospective study，for analyzing the local recurrence rate, the incidence of incision complications and the aesthetic effect of intraoperative radiotherapy in early breast cancer patients after breast-conserving surgery.
