Filter by:The Sloane Project is a UK wide prospective audit of screen detected non-invasive and atypical breast hyperplasias named after John Sloane an eminent pathologist interested in the field. Non invasive breast neoplasia accounts for 25% of all 'breast cancers' detected through breast screening and includes ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS). Atypical hyperplasias are high risk but benign lesions found in 10% of benign biopsies performed through the NHS breast screening programme. The importance of these lesions rests on the increased risk of subsequently developing invasive breast cancer, with DCIS at highest risk (20 times greater than the general population) followed by LCIS (10 times greater) and atypical breast hyperplasia (4 times greater). The Sloane Project data are held by Public Health England (PHE) and provide full and detailed information about the patients' journey from diagnosis to treatment and outcome. The project aims to increase the understanding of how best to manage these early lesions which can lead to breast cancer. All NHS breast screening units in the UK are invited to submit data for the Sloane Project. Historically an exceptional ~90% of centres in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have participated on a voluntary basis. The objective of this research protocol is the collection of anonymised formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks from women whose data is held within the Sloane Project database in order to allow detailed analysis of the biological, molecular and genomic changes in these cases of in situ carcinoma and atypical hyperplasia and how these relate to the corresponding annotated clinical, pathological and radiological data already collected by and held in PHE. We seek to identify particular signature(s) that define which patients are likely to develop invasive disease, distinguishing the worrisome from indolent, non-worrisome lesions.
This trial will investigate a novel 3-fraction radiation regimen for participants undergoing breast-conserving therapy (BCT) for early breast cancer that will: 1) significantly reduce the duration of treatment and can be completed in one-week (5 working days) and 2) MRI-guided radiotherapy (MRIdian) would limit the volume of normal tissue radiated and therefore resultant toxicity. The hypothesis is that 3-fraction radiation therapy can be delivered safely without compromising the therapeutic ratio. Participants can expect to be on study for follow up up to 5 years.
This is an observational study of 3 arms: breast conservation therapy, mastectomy and reconstruction, and mastectomy only.
