Filter by:The aim of this BZKF project is to record the current care structure for breast cancer patients in order to use this as a basis for developing possible future models for improvement. The active involvement of representatives of regional and national patient organizations in the creation of a patient-based and patient-oriented survey ensures that the needs of patients are the focus. In addition to and in contrast to other projects, relevant questions are explicitly addressed not only to patients but also to physicians in order to identify and specify the interfaces between patient wishes/suggestions and to develop clinical consequences for care. The first objective is to survey the "current situation" by recording the current care structure for breast cancer. The focus is on the survey of both groups on patient-physician communication, time management and coping strategies. By planning the future harmonization of national data structures, the basis is created for the long-term goal of an improved "target", a concept developed jointly by physicians and patients for an improved communication and care structure that focuses on the patient.
This study was planned to evaluate the effect of education on the management of side effects and the use of cooling pillowcase on hot flush complaints, sleep and quality of life in women with breast cancer receiving hormone therapy.
To explore the consistency between result of PTC drug screening tests and actual clinical outcome for patients with advanced malignancy.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the SHR-A1811 in combination with Adebrelimab regimen in HER2 low-expressing metastatic breast cancer
This study is comparing two interventions to identify effective treatment for breast cancer patients.
92 female cancer patients, aged from 18 to 75 years old (with a first diagnosis of breast cancer) who will receive Paclitaxel-based chemotherapy (12 weeks) as first line therapy, will be enrolled in the study and will be randomly assigned to either: - Group I: will receive the chemotherapy protocol or - Group II: will receive the chemotherapy protocol plus 600 mg daily dose of Alpha Lipoic Acid for 14 weeks (one week before the start of paclitaxel and continue till one week after the end of paclitaxel). * Blood samples will be withdrawn 2 times (week 1 and week 12) to measure the following: (Stored in -80 C till the end of the study) - Tumor Necrotizing Factor- alpha (TNF-α) by ELISA. - Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) by ELISA. * All patients will be subjected to 6 tests/questionnaires (week 1 - week 12 - week 24) to predict the functionality of the brain: - Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Cognitive (FACT-Cog) version 3 - Mini-Cog Test - Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) - Controlled Oral Word Association Test (COWAT) - Hopkins Verbal Learning Test (HVLT) - Trail Making Test (TMT)
Background: Various analgesic modalities are adopted for perioperative analgesia in breast cancer surgeries. Opioid-free and opioid-sparing techniques are gaining popularity due to the lack of opioid-dependent undesirable effects, including respiratory depression, urinary retention, nausea and vomiting, constipation, itching, opioid-induced hyperalgesia, tolerance, addiction, and immune system disorders. The goal of this prospective randomized clinical trial is to investigate the impact of opioid-free anaesthesia (OFA) versus conventional general anaesthesia (CGA) on postoperative analgesic requirements after breast cancer surgery (lumpectomy/mastectomy, with or without axillary lymph node excision). Secondary objectives include comparative perioperative evaluation of cognitive function and postoperative adverse events during the first 48 hours atfter surgery. Comparative evaluation of intraoperative haemodynamics and hospital length of stay are also secondary objectives, as well as the incidence of neuropathic pain assessed by validated questionnaires at 3 and 6 months postoperatively. During the preoperative screening, body measurements, age, gender, ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) physical status classification, educational level (using a 6-level scale: elementary, middle school, high school, higher education, higher education, and postgraduate/doctoral degree), home medication, and comorbidities (using the Charlson Comorbidity Index) are recorded. Intraoperatively, the duration of anaesthesia, duration of surgery, associated intraoperative data (e.g., haemodynamic instability, adverse effects associated with protocol-administered pharmaceutical agents, etc.), and medications administered (type and quantity) are recorded. The investigators expect to recruit at least 100 participants per group.
cN3c breast cancer with ipsilateral supraclavicular (SCV) lymph nodal (SCLN) metastasis is known to have a dismal prognosis. Currently, the combined-modality therapy consisting of primary systemic therapy (PST), subsequent local and/or systemic therapy based on response is the standard of care. However, the value of giving radiotherapy (RT) boost to SCV region remains uncertain in cN3c patients. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of RT boost to the SCV area in high-risk cN3c breast cancer patients based on nodal response following PST.
The Modena hereditary breast cancer group identified 3498 BRCA test candidates affected by breast cancer (BC). Among those, 392 were BRCA1/2 positive (11.2%). Since 2018, the site started to analyze eligible BC patients by multi gene panel (MGP) test. Fifty hundred sixty BRCA negative patients have been recalled, whereas other 934 were firstly analyzed by MGP. Totally, among 1494 BC patients analyzed by MGP test, 33 were PALB2 mutation carriers (2%). By involving the Italian Society of Genetic Oncology and 11 European Institutions, it is calculated to identify about 300 PALB2 mutation carriers. PALB2 is a breast cancer susceptibility gene that encodes the BRCA2- interacting protein. Mono-allelic mutations of PALB2 are associated with an increased risk for breast and ovarian cancer in women, prostate cancer in men, and pancreatic cancer in both gender. Women with no family history of breast cancer have a cumulative risk of 33%, compared to 58% in women with two or more family members with breast cancer. Several studies with populations ranging from to 54 to 362 individuals aimed to describe breast cancer phenotypic characteristics in PALB2 mutation carriers. Some of these studies suggested an association with triple-negative phenotype, older age at diagnosis (>30 years), tumor size > 2 cm, negative HER2 status, lymph nodes positive and bilaterality. Nevertheless, results among different studies are contradictory and no data on prognosis of these patients are reported. Furthermore, the clinical potential of PARP inhibition beyond currently approved indications to additional patients whose tumors have (epi)genetic changes affecting homologous recombination repair raises new interest in PALB2 mutations as molecular target. Primary objectives is to study the incidence and mortality rates of gPALB2 Breast Cancer.
The study aspires to provide outcomes on surgery, quality of life and time-to-event outcomes following the development and validation of a standardised surgical assessment tool in a shared decision-making framework for patients with pre-invasive or invasive breast cancer with breast conservation.
