Filter by:Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) accounts for approximately 20% of newly diagnosed breast cancer cases. Of these women, 20% require radical management in the form of mastectomy because of the extent of the lesions, which most often manifest as diffuse microcalcifications. This mutilating surgical management contrasts with the excellent prognosis of this pathology and considerably alters the quality of life of patients. Neoadjuvant hormone therapy has shown its efficacy in hormone-dependent infiltrating ductal carcinomas and offers the possibility of conservative surgery after hormone therapy. Adjuvant hormone therapy with Tamoxifen or anti-aromatase drugs has shown its efficacy in the prevention of homo or contralateral recurrence. The HORNEO 01 trial fits perfectly in the current context of surgical de-escalation of ductal carcinomas in situ. The objective of the study is to evaluate the impact of neoadjuvant hormone therapy on the surgical management of extensive DCIS.
This is a prospective, registry study that will enroll all women with early stage breast cancer who will be treated with intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) during breast-conserving surgery. The purpose of this study is to further validate the long-term effectiveness and safety of this treatment method. We aim to assess short and long-term patient outcomes associated with IORT, including perioperative complications, local and distance disease recurrences, as well as disease-free survival and overall survival.
This phase II trial studies the effect of megestrol acetate alone or in combination with metformin in preventing the progression of uterine pre-cancer (endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia) to endometrial cancer. Megestrol acetate is a drug used to block estrogen and suppress the effects of estrogen and androgens. It is the current non-surgical treatment of endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia. Metformin is a drug that has been found to have anti-cancer properties. Giving metformin and megestrol acetate together may decrease the growth of endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia in the uterus better than megestrol alone.
The investigators plan to prospectively study breast tissue changes after a short course of Tamoxifen (Tam).
This trial studies the implementation of web-based decision support tools for patients with atypical hyperplasia or lobular carcinoma in situ and healthcare providers. Decision support tools are designed to improve informed choice about breast cancer chemoprevention. Recognizing barriers and facilitators that can influence the adoption of decision support tools at recruitment centers may help researchers learn how to best implement them into clinical practice.
This trial examines approaches to identify and care for individuals with inherited cancer syndrome. The purpose of this study is to offer no cost genetic testing to the general public. Researchers hope to learn the value of providing broad, public-wide testing for high risk cancer types (like hereditary breast and ovarian cancer or Lynch syndromes) instead of only testing people whose families are known to be high risk.
This is a pilot study to investigate the usefulness of closure of mucosal defect after gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in patients that are at high risk of post-procedural haemorrhage. Delayed haemorrhage is still an important adverse event of ESD, occurring more frequently for gastric lesions. Risk factors identified for delayed haemorrhage include chronic kidney disease, use of antithrombotic agent, lesion size >20mm, specimen size >30mm. Current established methods to prevent this complications could not completely eliminate the chance of bleeding, especially among high-risk cases. Closure of ESD defect may prevent ongoing exposure of submucosal vessels to gastric acid, and further reduce the risk of delayed haemorrhage. The investigators conduct this study to investigate the effect of closing the defect with endoscopic clips and loop. 30 patients who are undergoing gastric ESD deemed high risk of delayed haemorrhage would be recruited, with closure of defect after resection. The rate of delayed haemorrhage would be compared with historical cohort of patients.
This cohort study aims to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of Hybrid APC for treatment of gastric low grade intramucosal neoplasia.
The investigators aim to evaluate the performance of Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) endoscopy in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ESCC) screening, as compared to the currently used White Light Endoscopy (WLE) and Lugol's Iodine Staining Endoscopy (ISE). NBI is a simple, safe and non-invasive technique, which can provide real-time optical staining for suspicious lesions. This trial is designated to enroll 10000 participants from five centers located in different regions (North, West and South) in China, which would provide real-world evidence for the recommendation of endoscopic diagnostic technique used in ESCC screening projects.
This study investigates the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on out-of-pocket costs, lost wages, and unemployment in patients with breast cancer undergoing breast surgery. Post-mastectomy reconstructive patients are at high risk for financial toxicity (adverse effects of escalating health care cost on well-being). The goal of this study is to collect information about financial costs patients may have as a result of surgical treatment for cancer with or without breast reconstruction and to learn if COVID-19 affects patient costs of breast reconstruction. This may help researchers demonstrate the financial consequences of undergoing breast surgery.
