Filter by:This multi-center cohort study focuses on evaluating the efficacy of lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) for treating pitting lymphedema in female breast cancer survivors. Conducted across multiple centers in Denmark, including Odense University Hospital, Herlev Hospital, Lillebaelt Hospital Vejle, and Zealand University Hospital, it aims to assess LVA's impact on reducing arm volume and improving quality of life in patients with upper extremity lymphedema secondary to breast cancer treatment. Eligible participants are adult women with unilateral arm lymphedema who show active pitting and identifiable lymphatic vessels via indocyanine green lymphography. Inclusion involves informed consent and the ability to complete Danish questionnaires. Patients are recruited from the outpatient clinics of the participating hospitals and will undergo LVA surgery under either local or general anesthesia. Following the intervention, patients are seen for data collection up to twelve months. The study measures outcomes like arm volume changes through water displacement volumetry and arm circumferential measurements, body composition via bioimpedance, health-related quality of life through LYMPH-Q, general quality of life through SF-36, arm function via DASH, and anastomosis patency via ICG lymphography. Additionally, changes in ICG lymphography images, arm fibrosis via SkinFibroMeter, and surgery duration are evaluated. The study adheres to ethical guidelines, ensuring patient safety and the integrity of the research.
Expand the current evidence base regarding percutaneous cryoablation of early-stage, low-risk breast tumors, integrated into the standard therapeutic pathway with well-defined follow-up data, as well as data on quality of life. Demonstrate, therefore, that the use of percutaneous cryoablation in the treatment of low-risk breast carcinoma is not inferior to surgery when combined with adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy (when necessary). The hypothesis is that cryoablation, being simple and oncologically effective, ensures a better quality of life for the patient (reduced morbidity, no need for general anesthesia, improved cosmetic outcomes) and consequently has a lesser psychological impact, as well as a better cost-benefit ratio compared to the standard surgical approach.
This study involves two non-randomized groups of patients: the observation group and the comparison group. The comparison group will retrospectively include data on 29 patients with oligometastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who received treatment with trastuzumab-emtansine and had a history of SRT. The prospective part of this study aims to include 29 patients with oligometastatic HER2-positive breast cancer. These patients will undergo SRT followed by the administration of trastuzumab emtansine 24 hours after the SRT. The combined effect of stereotactic radiation therapy on a metastatic lesion followed by anti-HER2 therapy in the 2nd line - trastuzumab emtansine, remains unexplored. This study plans to evaluate the effectiveness of combining systemic therapy and local control methods (SRT) in patients with oligometastatic HER2-positive breast cancer. It will be the first time the efficacy and toxic profile of this new combined treatment method in this patient population will be studied. This basket trial evaluates trastuzumab emtansine for oligo-metastatic breast cancer with the aim of inducing deep responses, long-lasting disease remissions, and potentially cure.
This is a Phase 1 dose escalation and dose expansion phase I study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic profile and preliminary efficacy of RGT-419B as monotherapy in Chinese patients with HR+/HER2- advanced/metastatic breast cancer and other advanced solid tumors.
ICARUS-BREAST02 is an open-label, multicenter, phase 1b/2, platform study that aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of HER3-DXd monotherapy and in combination with other anti-cancer agents in patients with ABC. The first 2 modules will evaluate: i. safety and efficacy of HER3-DXd with olaparib in patients with HER2-low and HER2-positive ABC progressed on T-DXd (Module 1) and HER3-DXd monotherapy in patients with HER2-low ABC progressed on T-DXd (Module 0). The main objective of Part 1 is to assess the safety and tolerability of HER3-DXd monotherapy and combination and to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of the combination containing HER3-DXd. The main objective of Part 2 is to assess the efficacy of study therapies in each module based on investigator assessment as evaluated by the objective response rate (ORR) at 6 months.
This is an open, multicentric, interventional, prospective, non-randomized clinical investigation. The first aim of the study is to confirm that MammoWave reaches sensitivity>75% and specificity>90% in breast cancer (BC) detection on 10.000 volunteers undergoing regular screening programs.
Microwave Ablative (MWA) therapy, as a minimally invasive thermal therapy, has been attempted to treat breast cancer of small lesions . However, the optimal indications for MWA in the treatment of breast cancer is unknown. This prospective, open-label, single-arm phase II clinical study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MWA in the treatment of early-stage unifocal invasive breast cancer, and to explore the immune activating effect.
Breast phyllodes tumor (PT) is a rare fibroepithelial tumor, accounting for 1% to 3% of all breast tumors, categorized by the WHO into benign, borderline, and malignant, based on histopathology features such as tumor border, stromal cellularity, stromal atypia, mitotic activity and stromal overgrowth. Malignant PTs account for 18%-25%, with high local recurrence (up to 65%) and distant metastasis rates (16%-25%). Benign PT could progress to malignancy after multiple recurrences. Therefore, Early, accurate diagnosis and identification of therapeutic targets are crucial for improving outcomes and survival rates. In recent years, there has been growing interest in the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in medical diagnostics. AI can integrate clinical information, histopathological images, and multi-omics data to assist in pathological and clinical diagnosis, prognosis prediction, and molecular profiling.AI has shown promising results in various areas, including the diagnosis of different cancers such as colorectal cancer, breast cancer, and prostate cancer. However, PT differs from breast cancer in diagnosis and treatment approach. Therefore, establishing an AI-based system for the precise diagnosis and prognosis assessment of PT is crucial for personalized medicine. The research team, led by Dr. Nie Yan, is one of the few in Guangdong Province and even nationally, specializing in PT research. Their team has been conducting research on the malignant progression, metastasis mechanisms, and molecular markers for PT. The team has identified key mechanisms, such as fibroblast-to-myofibroblast differentiation, and the role of tumor-associated macrophages in promoting this differentiation. They have also identified molecular markers, including miR-21, α-SMA, CCL18, and CCL5, which are more accurate in predicting tumor recurrence risk compared to traditional histopathological grading. The project has collected high-quality data from nearly a thousand breast PT patients, including imaging, histopathology, and survival data, and has performed transcriptome gene sequencing on tissue samples. They aim to build a comprehensive multi-omics database for breast PT and create an AI-based model for early diagnosis and prognosis prediction. This research has the potential to improve the diagnosis and treatment of breast PT, address the disparities in breast PT care across different regions in China, and contribute to the development of new therapeutic targets.
This study evaluates how swelling in the chest following breast cancer treatment may affect patients' quality of life and shoulder function.
This multicenter clinical study aims to build an intelligent and accurate diagnosis and dynamic prediction and early warning model of cardiotoxicity due to anthracycline-based breast cancer chemotherapy, clarify the value of the early warning model in guiding the targeted prevention of myocardial protection, providing an important theoretical basis for reducing the mortality rate of breast cancer and improving the prognosis.
