Filter by:The RESTART survivorship programme has been implemented in the care pathway for patients with localised breast cancer since 2022. In this project, investigators are going to evaluate the satisfaction of patients taking part in the RESTART programme, as well as measuring changes in quality of life and health literacy after participation in the RESTART programme.
This is a single institution phase II randomized study evaluating the potential benefits of a supplement, tart cherry juice at high- versus low-doses, to prevent taxane induced peripheral neuropathy in breast and ovarian cancer patients undergoing paclitaxel chemotherapy. Eligible participants enrolled onto the study will be block randomized in a 1:1 allocation to either the tart cherry juice high-dose group (Arm 1) or the tart cherry juice low-dose group (Arm 2).
This is a prospective, single-center, non-randomized, non-controlled study
Breast cancer represents the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women. It represents the 5th leading cause of cancer mortality all over the world. In Egypt, breast cancer represents the 2nd most diagnosed cancer among all population. But among Egyptian females it represents the 1st diagnosed cancer representing 32.4%. The main cause of death in breast cancer patients is tumor metastasis. Although only 5-10% of recently diagnosed breast cancer cases show metastasis to distant sites, but still there is a high risk for metastasis in patients with localized primary tumor following successful surgical management. Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is a cell adhesion molecule. It modifies cadherin mediated cell adhesion and it induces epithelial cell migration and proliferation. Some authors elucidate that EpCAM is involved in metastasis. P53 is a known tumor suppressor gene involved in the control of cell cycle, DNA repair and apoptosis. It's one of the most mutated genes in cancer including breast cancer. Mutant p53 has a big role in tumor progression.
Taxane-induced arthralgia and myalgia syndrome (TAMS) is one of the most common side effects of taxane chemotherapy. This prospective randomized controlled trial will evaluate the efficacy of gabapentin administered prophylactically on days -2 to +5 during the taxane-portion of chemotherapy for adjuvant breast cancer patients on reducing TAMS. This will be compared to observation alone.
