Filter by:Trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity (TIC) will be monitored in patients with HER2+ breast cancer undergoing trastuzumab treatment before and after breast cancer surgery. At baseline before start of trastuzumab treatment, echocardiography (ECHO)/multigated Acquisition Scan (MUGA) and measurement of plasma NT-proBNP will be performed. NT-proBNP will be measured again at 6 months and at 12 months of trastuzumab treatment. If elevations in NT-proBNP at 6 months and 12 months occur patients will be referred for ECHO/MUGA. The aim is to assess the sensitivity and specificity to detect TIC with NT-proBNP and whether ECHO/MUGA can be safely replaced by assessment of plasma NT-proBNP levels.
This is a validation study of the italian language for the Female Sexual Function Index-Breast Cancer questionnaire. The validation of the instrument in Italian will allow the identification of possible issues related to sexual health and enable the provision of adequate medical and psychosexual counseling to these patients, both in clinical practice and in research studies.
This study analyses the efficacy and safety of amlotinib as a study drug in the treatment of HER-2 negative advanced breast cancer in the real world, including the number of treatment lines, monotherapy, combination therapy, and different molecular subtypes of breast cancer. Evidence-based medicine evidence for clinicians. Although the clinical application of amlotinib in breast cancer treatment is a supra-indication drug, in view of its high safety and possible good efficacy for advanced breast cancer, some patients have been clinically adopted to try the treatment after communicating with their families. This study provides evidence for the further use of amlotinib in breast cancer treatment by analysing the efficacy and safety of amlotinib in real-world applications.
To validate the use of ICG as a tracer during TAD in patients with cN1 breast carcinoma after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the impact of the "Traditional Chinese Medicine Therapy Program for Reinforcing Vital Energy" on patients with breast cancer who are currently undergoing conventional Western medical treatments in Taiwan. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can the "Traditional Chinese Medicine Therapy Program" alleviate symptoms experienced by breast cancer patients? Does the program improve the quality of life for breast cancer patients receiving Western medical treatments? How does the program contribute to the management of side effects associated with Western oncological therapies? Participants will: Engage in the "Traditional Chinese Medicine Therapy Program for Reinforcing Vital Energy" provided by the Taiwan Compassionate Cancer Care Association. Receive supportive and educational services, including auxiliary Chinese medicine treatment courses, lifestyle and health education, and psychological counseling. This study seeks to integrate the concept of holistic healthcare, emphasizing coordinated care that encompasses physical, mental, and social aspects, into the treatment of breast cancer.
The present study aims to investigate the impact of Tumescent Local Anesthesia (TLA) on pain perception following surgeries typical for breast cancer. Previous research has already confirmed the feasibility of conducting operations in TLA for benign breast conditions. In contrast to general anesthesia, Tumescent Local Anesthesia involves local anesthesia of the surgical site, allowing patients to remain awake during the procedure and eliminating the risks associated with general anesthesia. Additionally, if needed, sedatives or further anesthesia can be administered through the vein. Building upon the successful applications of TLA in benign breast surgeries, this follow-up study at the Department of Women's Health focuses on enhancing surgical techniques, pain management, and postoperative care for breast cancer-related procedures. Simultaneously, our goal is to gather scientific data regarding the application of this technique. This research contributes to the continuous advancement of medical practices in the field of breast surgery.
This study aims to conduct whole genome sequencing in breast cancer patients to elucidate individual genetic characteristics and their correlation with breast cancer subtypes. The primary objective is to establish new treatment guidelines aligned with the paradigm shift in precision medicine. The study will include both prospective and retrospective cohorts totaling 1200 participants. Prospective participants must provide consent and be eligible for tissue collection, while retrospective participants must have histologically confirmed breast cancer and available tissue samples from Samsung Medical Center Biobank. The study period spans 3 years for subject enrollment and 5 years for follow-up observations, with an expected completion date of December 31, 2030.
This is a prospective observational study to refine and validate risk stratification algorithms aimed at identifying elderly patients at higher risk of developing cardiotoxicity (us-ing risk factors and potential blood and stool biomarkers) and at assessing whether integrated patient-oriented behavioral and psychological interventions can mitigate, prevent or delay the onset of cardiotoxicity from chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to look at how differences in cognitive (mental) function develop over time in breast cancer survivors compared to volunteers without a history of cancer (healthy volunteers). Both cancer survivors and healthy volunteers (who are the same age as the cancer survivors) will participate in this study so the researchers can compare the results of neurocognitive testing (which looks at memory, attention, and information processing) on each group of participants.
The aim of the present study is to ask women treated with adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer what survival benefit would justify the treatment. The benefit should be evaluated in terms of Survival rate trade off and Survival time trade off value. The analyses will be conducted into three different groups of patients to value the survival benefit expected: 1. before to start the chemotherapy 2. during chemotherapy 3. after the end of chemotherapy
