Filter by:Breast cancer, a leading cause of cancer-related mortality in women worldwide, has spurred the investigation of novel therapeutic approaches. Pentoxifylline (PTX), a synthetic methylxanthine derivative, has shown promise in preclinical studies when combined with conventional anticancer drugs. This study aims to assess PTX's impact when added to neoadjuvant chemotherapy protocols in breast cancer patients, with the goal of improving treatment outcomes and reducing associated toxicities.
Before neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in cases of locally advanced breast cancer, malignant masses in the breast and biopsy-proven tumor involvement axillary lymph nodes are marked with metallic markers. The primary objective of this marking is to establish the precise localization of the tumor which response to NACT partial or completely. However, selecting the marker with ultrasound (US) proves challenging in many instances. Research studies indicate that patients with occult markers are observed at a frequency of 24%. Some studies propose that the twinkling artifact serves as a reliable method for accurately indicating the localization of certain tumor markers. This artifact is deemed particularly helpful for lesions situated in the axilla or posterior of the breast, which may not be visible with US and are undetectable with mammography. In the context of Color Doppler examination, the investigators have noted the presence of another color Doppler artifact which can aid in determining marker localization. When the pulse repetition frequency (PRF) is reduced and the color gain is increased, color noise, termed as color confusion or blooming artifact/effect, is observed within the color steer. While this color confusion tends to mask healthy tissues, it has been observed that the tumor marker remains unaffected by the blooming effect. Consequently, this artifact serves to distinctly reveal the borders and localization of the tumor marker. In some studies, it has been stated that the twinkling artifact, which is a color Doppler artifact and whose mechanism is not fully understood, is a reliable method to accurately indicate the localization of some tumor markers. It has been reported that this artifact will be very helpful, especially in lesions located in the axilla or posterior of the breast, which cannot be seen with US and cannot be detected with mammography . In Color Doppler examination, we saw that another color Doppler artifact, such as the twinkling artifact, could also be helpful in determining marker localization. When the PRF is reduced and the color gain is increased, color noise, which is selected as color confusion and can be called blooming artifact or blooming effect-like, is observed in all structures within the color steer. While healthy tissues are masked by this color confusion, the tumor marker is protected from the blooming effect. Thus, with this artifact, tumor marker borders and localization are clearly revealed.
Rationale:To improve the definition of the target volume for radiotherapy of the chestwall after different types of mastectomy, the exact localization of regions at risk for a local recurrence should be known. However, there are currently insufficient data in literature showing where local recurrences occur after different types of mastectomy. Objective: The primary objective of the proposed study is to determine whether the spatial, location of a breast cancer recurrence after mastectomy, differs for different types of mastectomy. Study design: Retrospective study evaluating spatial location and site of recurrences after mastectomy. Study population: The investigators aim to include all breast cancer patients treated with mastectomy in the Netherlands between 2003- 2008, and known to have experienced a local recurrence as the first site of failure. Primary endpoint: Spatial location of local recurrence (e.g., primary tumour bed, scar, skin, subcutaneous, nipple, areola, pectoral muscles).
This clinical study includes a dose escalation trial of BEBT-209 monotherapy in HR +/HER2- advanced breast cancer patients and a Phase 1b trial of BEBT-209 as a single therapy, in combination with letrozole, and in combination with fulvestrant in ER +/HER2- advanced breast cancer in women. To evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic profile, and preliminary efficacy of BEBT-209 as a single therapy, in combination with letrozole, and in combination with fulvestrant. To determine the recommended dose for late clinical studies of monotherapy or combination therapy in patients with HR +/HER2- advanced breast cancer.
This study intends to include HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer patients (with or without brain metastasis) who have become resistant to previous treatment with trastuzumab. It will use pertuzumab in combination with pyrotinib and capecitabine to observe efficacy and safety. The choice of capecitabine as the chemotherapy drug is mainly based on the following reasons: ① it has been less commonly used as neoadjuvant treatment, making it less prone to cross-resistance; ② its oral formulation is convenient for administration, making it more acceptable to patients; ③ previous studies have shown good efficacy when combined with pyrotinib; ④ previous research in breast cancer patients with brain metastasis has also demonstrated certain effectiveness. It is hoped that through this study, preliminary evidence can be provided for the dual-target treatment of original Chinese drugs, as well as the treatment of HER2+ MBC after resistance to trastuzumab, and the addition of new data for patients with brain metastasis.
H0: Among the intervention and control groups of reminder notifications relating to self-examination H01: Average breast cancer fear score and H02: There is no difference in the average score of breast cancer health beliefs. H1: Among the intervention and control groups of reminder notifications relating to self-examination H11: Average breast cancer fear score H12: Breast cancer is different in terms of average score of health beliefs
The goal of this study was to assess the feasibility of SLND by superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIO) in patients with early breast cancer planned for primary systemic therapy (PST) and whether this is affected by the timeframe of SPIO administration. For this, patients with cN0/1 disease planned for PST received radioisotope as per routine on the day of surgery or the day before, and SPIO was injected in an extended timeframe, at any point from the day of surgery to before the induction of PST. The main points to investigate are: 1. If the SPIO detection rate and concordance to the radiosotope are affected by time of SPIO injection 2. If the nodal yield and the accuracy of the procedure are affected
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-controlled Phase III study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TQB2440 injection/Perjeta® combined with trastuzumab and docetaxel in patients with early or locally advanced ER/ PR-negative HER2-positive breast cancer. The trial is scheduled to enroll 412 participants. The sample size was estimated based on 20 treatment cycles and 6 recurrence visits.
The goal of this retrospective observational study is to examine whether long-term calcium channel blocker (CCB) use is associated with the development of breast cancer amongst women enrolled in three longitudinal cohort studies in Australia and the Netherlands . The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is long-term CCB use associated with the development of breast cancer amongst women enrolled in three longitudinal cohort studies in Australia and the Netherlands and what is the dose-response nature of this association. - Does differences in the association between calcium channel blocker use and the development of breast cancer exist between Australian and Dutch women. The investigators will utilise data from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health (ALSWH) , 45 and Up Study and Rotterdam study.
This study is the experimental study for serial ctDNA and exosome evaluation in EBC patients
