Filter by:CAREGIVER is a prospective, randomized, multicenter, open, five-arm study with unequal allocation ratios of 1:1:2:1:2 (palbociclib : paclitaxel : palbociclib + paclitaxel : carboplatin : carboplatin + paclitaxel). Study will be performed in untreated patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Potential candidates without previously established diagnosis of TNBC will be included in a Pre-screening Phase, when a biopsy of breast tumor will be taken to confirm the diagnosis of cancer, select patients with TNBC and collect tissue for translational research.
Worldwide, breast cancer (BC) is the most frequent type of cancer in women yet, it is associated with relatively lower mortality rates, as it ranks fifth in cancer-related deaths overall, which is attributed to evolution in the treatment of recurrent and metastatic lesions, especially when these lesions were detected early . BC recurrence can occur even 15 years after primary treatment.
This is a prospective, multicenter, cohort study aiming to explore the cardiotoxicity of targeted therapy for HER-2 positive breast cancer patients who lives in high altitude area. One hundred and thirty two HER-2 positive breast cancer patients who will receive neoadjuvant, adjuvant, or palliative targeted therapy will be enrolled. The cardiotoxicity of targeted therapy will be observed and recorded during the treatment and one year after the end of treatment. The subjects will be stratified by age, baseline cardiac risk factors, and anthracyclines.
Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) is the traditional surgical treatment for early-stage breast cancer patients. There are evidences indicating that oncoplastic BCS could improve cosmetic outcomes and/or quality of life, and has similar oncological safety as conventional BCS does. However, these studies that focused on patient-reported outcomes and oncological safety were mainly from one institution or of small sample size. The variations across hospitals and regions were not fully analyzed. A multicenter prospective patient report outcome (PROs) and oncological safety will be planned to assess the PROs and safety for Chinese breast cancer patients who will undergo oncoplastic and conventional breast-conserving surgery (OBCS). This study follows the Helsinki Declaration and Chinese rules. All patients will be asked to sign the informed consent and will be followed up 24 months after operations. All data will be collected.
CDK 4/6 inhibitors (palbociclib, ribociclib) have taken their place in our practice recently with their clinical benefits in the treatment of hormone-positive and HER2 negative metastatic breast cancer. Abemaciclib, another CDK 4/6 inhibitor, is not frequently preferred because of reimbursement problems in Turkey. The most obvious advantages of CDK 4/6 inhibitors are that they are used orally and have relatively fewer side effects against chemotherapy. Neutropenia, diarrhea, elevation in liver function tests are the main dose-limiting side effects. In the geriatric age group, it can be thought that the expected benefit from the treatment will not be achieved in cases where these side effects cannot be predicted or managed well. The geriatric age group (65 years and older) deserves special attention in oncology practice, considering both the treatments and the disease itself. Although a number of very useful clinical scales have been developed regarding this subject, it is important that the scale used should be comprehensive as well as being easily applicable for integrating it into daily practice. Geriatric 8 (G8) was found to be a highly sensitive test based on a comprehensive geriatric examination, while the Groningen frailty scale with high specificity. The common feature of these two tests is that they are suitable for daily practice as they are easy to fill. In the light of this information, we aimed to examine whether the G8 and Groningen frailty scale could shed light on clinicians in predicting side effects during the use of CDK 4/6 inhibitors (palbociclib and ribociclib) in geriatric breast cancer patients. We also aimed to reveal the adverse events of these CDK 4/6 inhibitors as real-life experience.
Female breast cancer is the most common cancer and fifth leading cause of cancer death worldwide. In the past decade, breast cancer consistently to be the most common cancer for women in Hong Kong, so much that it accounts for 27% of all female cancers, with 4,600 new cases of breast cancer registration every year and the lifetime breast cancer risk for females is 1 in every 14. At the same time, breast cancer ranks the third in cancer death in Hong Kong, with a five-year relative survival rate of 84%. Regular mammography screening has been shown to reduce the mortality of breast cancer. International guidelines recommend annual or biannual mammography screening for women aged 50 or above. The adherence to regular mammography screening remains a challenge. Studies had shown that the adherence decreased over time. Mailed and telephone reminder were being proven to be effective tools to increase the adherence to regular breast screening using mammography. However, both mailing and telephone strategies are associated with labor intensity and high cost. Over the past two decades, the advent of internet and smartphone provided a fertile platform for the development of mobile-health technologies. WhatsApp Messenger is one of the most frequently used free-of-charge mobile messenger that permits users to send secure messages across different device platforms. A recent randomized controlled trial from our team has suggested its clinical utility in improving adherence to regular colorectal cancer screening using fecal immunochemical test. This encouraging data prompted us to investigate the potential role of WhatsApp Messenger in breast cancer screening. We hypothesized that text reminder sent via WhatsApp Messenger improves the longitudinal adherence to biannual mammography in a community-based, opportunistic breast screening program.
HS-10342 is a selective CDK4/6 kinase inhibitor. This study is conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of HS-10342 at repeated doses.
Breast cancer is a chronic disease that has seen a boom in research into its treatments, improvements and effects in recent decades. These advances have also highlighted the need to use physical exercise as a countermeasure to reduce the cardiotoxicity of pharmacological treatments. Patients need a correct daily individualisation of the exercise dose necessary to produce the physiological, physical and psychological benefits. To this end, the present study will use, in a novel way in this population, heart rate variability (HRV) as a measure of training prescription. The primary objective of this randomised clinical trial is to analyse the effects of a physical exercise programme planned according to daily HRV in breast cancer patients after chemotherapy treatment. For this purpose, a 16-week intervention will be carried out with 90 breast cancer patients distributed in 3 groups (control group, conventional preprogrammed physical exercise training group and physical exercise group with HRV daily programming). Cardiorespiratory capacity, strength, flexibility, agility, balance, body composition, quality of life, fatigue, functionality, self-esteem, anxiety and depression of patients before and after the intervention will be evaluated in order to compare the effects of exercise and its programming.
The correct categorization of breast density is essential to adapt the diagnostic examination to the needs of each patient. Assessment of breast density is performed visually by radiologists. Some authors have detected that this method involves considerable intra and interobserver variability. On the other hand, automated systems for measuring breast density are becoming more and more frequent. Machine learning is a domain of Artificial Intelligence, which comprises the process of developing systems with the ability to learn and make predictions using data. These systems are designed to aid healthcare professional decision making. In the present work, the multicenter study of external validation of a tool based on deep learning for the categorization of mammographic breast density is proposed.
The hypothesis of this study is to discover the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab combined with pyrotinib in treating advanced breast cancer with HER2 positive, which is detected by digital PCR. It is a single-arm, multicenter phase II clinical study. The purpose of this study is: 1. To explore the Response rate (RR) and progression-free survival(PFS) and safety of patients with recurrent metastatic breast cancer who received trastuzumab combined with pyrotinib in positive plasma HER2 amplification detected by digital PCR. 2. To explore the potential using of digital PCR in recurrent and metastatic breast cancer.
