Filter by:The role of NSM is still controversial, mainly because of concern about the oncologic safety of the nipple-areola complex (NAC).INTRABEAM (Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany) is the most widely used mobile intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) device to date. This study aims to assess the value of the INTRABEAM system for breast cancer.
Whether the patients with low grade ductal carcinoma in situ breast cancer should accept radiationtherapy is uncertain.Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Giving radiation during surgery followed by external-beam radiation to the entire breast may kill more tumor cells.The clinical trial is conducting to find out the effectiveness of radiation therapy during surgery in treating women who have undergone breast-conversing surgery for low grade ductal carcinoma in situ breast cancer.
This pilot research trial studies the effects of chemotherapy on intestinal bacteria/organisms (microbiota) in patients newly diagnosed with breast cancer. Change in intestinal microbiota may be associated with weight gain in patients treated with chemotherapy. Weight gain has been also associated with cancer recurrence. Examining the types and quantity of bacterial composition in the stool of breast cancer patients treated with chemotherapy may help determine whether body weight and composition are associated with changes in the intestinal microbiota and allow doctors to plan better treatment to prevent weight gain and possibly disease recurrence.
Cervical conization is done for pre-cancer disease. The procedure is performed with local anesthesia and general anesthesia. Local anesthesia is given by paracervical block, and several different local anesthetics is being used including bupivacaine with and without adrenaline. Adrenaline might reduce local bleeding and reduce toxicity of bupivacaine by reducing absorption, but might affect cardiovascular function. This study will examine this effect.
This phase I research protocol is designed to assess immunogenicity and clinical endpoints in patients with human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)2/3. The protocol tests the use of artesunate in suppository formulation applied intravaginally in patients with cervical dysplasia (CIN2/3). The primary endpoint is to determine and evaluate the safety, tolerability, and feasibility of intravaginal administration of artesunate in health women with CIN2/3.
This clinical trial studies magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and gene expression in diagnosing patients with abnormal cells in the breast duct that have not spread outside the duct. MRI uses radio waves and a powerful magnet linked to a computer to create detailed pictures of areas inside the body. MRI may help find and diagnose patients with breast cancer. It may also help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment. Genetic studies may help doctors predict the outcome of treatment and the risk for disease recurrence. Performing MRI with genetic studies may help determine the best treatment for patients with breast cancer in situ.
Rationale: Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN) is the premalignant condition of cervical cancer. High grade CIN (CIN 2-3) is currently treated by large loop excision of the transformation zone (LLETZ). This treatment has potential complications, such as hemorrhage, infection and preterm birth in subsequent pregnancies. For this reason, non-invasive therapies are needed. Imiquimod (an immunomodulator) was proven effective in the treatment of HPV-related vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) and may also be effective in HPV-related CIN. [van Seters, 2012] However, the evidence is limited and study results are not consistent. [Grimm, 2012; Pachman, 2012; Lin, 2012] Objectives: Primary objectives: (1) to investigate the efficacy of imiquimod 5% cream for the treatment of CIN2-3 lesions and (2) to develop biomarker panels to predict clinical response to imiquimod therapy. Secondary objectives: to assess side effects of imiquimod treatment and LLETZ, disease recurrence and quality of life. Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that imiquimod will be an effective treatment modality in approximately 50-75% of CIN lesions treated without surgical intervention. Study design: Single-centre randomized controlled intervention trial. Study population: 140 women with a histological diagnosis of CIN2-3, equally divided over two study arms. Intervention: Patients will be randomized into one of two arms: 1. Imiquimod treatment arm. Patients in this group are treated by a 16-week regime of imiquimod 5% cream. 2. Standard treatment arm. LLETZ will be performed on patients in this group. Colposcopy with diagnostic biopsies will be performed after 10 weeks for the imiquimod treatment arm. In case progressive disease, the treatment will be ended and appropriate surgical excision will be performed. Treatment efficacy will be evaluated after 20 weeks, by colposcopy with diagnostic biopsies. A histological biomarker panel will be developed, consisting of markers representing both host and viral factors. Main study parameters/endpoints: The primary endpoint of the study is regression-or-not of CIN2-3, defined as CIN1 or less at the colposcopy at 20 weeks for the imiquimod arm and PAP 1 cytology at 6 months for the LLETZ group.
This randomized trial studies transdermal or oral telapristone acetate in treating patients undergoing surgery to remove the breast (mastectomy). Telapristone acetate may help prevent breast cancer from forming in premenopausal women. Giving telapristone acetate transdermally may be safer and have fewer side effects than oral administration.
The study will examine the effect of aminolaevulinic acid (ALA) photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cervical precancerous lesions in women.
The purpose of this study, the EBBA-II trial, is to determine whether a 12 month exercise program comprised of strength and endurance training among newly diagnosed breast cancer patients undergoing adjuvant therapy, will influence cardiopulmonary function. Secondary aims are to determine whether the 12 month exercise program will influence factors associated with metabolic profile, tumor growth, disease-free survival, overall mortality and breast cancer specific mortality. Furthermore, the effect on QoL parameters, and dietary factors will be assessed and evaluated.
