A Multi-Institutional Retrospect Cohort Study of Breast Cancer Diagnosis and Management in Transgender and Gender-Diverse Individuals
There is no granular retrospective data on breast cancer in transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) persons from a contemporary and diverse American cohort. The purpose of this investigation is to aggregate data from multiple institutions to describe the risk, diagnosis, management, and outcomes of TGD persons with breast cancer in effort to identify opportunities for future intervention studies to eliminate breast cancer disparities for this population.

Aerobic Dance During Chemotherapy in Breast Cancer Patients With Cognitive Impairment(ADANC)
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about breast cancer patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does Aerobic Dance During Chemotherapy Improve Cognitive Function in Breast Cancer Patients? - Does the efficacy of aerobic dance differ from fast walking of equal intensity? Recruited patients will be randomly assigned to three groups: (1) aerobic dance group, (2) fast walking group, and (3) usual care group. The aerobic dance and fast-walking groups participated in supervised exercise lasting 50 minutes thrice a week for 12 weeks. The goal of this study's findings is to develop practical strategies for managing breast cancer-related cognitive impairment.

Unilateral Secondary Breast Reconstruction Using a Muscle-sparing Pedicled Dorsal Flap in Patients With a History of Total Mastectomy for Breast Cancer Single-centre Observational Study
The use of pedicled dorsal flaps sparing the latissimus dorsi muscle (TDAP and MSLD flap) is a well-described reconstruction method in breast reconstruction after breast cancer. However, little data exists regarding patient satisfaction after this surgery. The main objective of this study was to evaluate patient satisfaction after unilateral total secondary breast reconstruction using a TDAP or MSLD flap.

ExBRAC - Expressive Writing in Breast Cancer - BröstCancer Och Intensivt Skrivande
The EXBRAC pilot study will investigate the quality of life of patients with breast cancer, and the effect of an intervention with expressive writing. This is a pilot study with two purposes, the first is to create a questionnaire specifically developed for the ExBRAC study, and the second to evaluate the feasibility of the expressive writing.

Clinical Outcome and Quality of Life of Intrathecal Chemotherapy Through Ommaya Reservoir in Combination With Systematic Chemotherapy Versus Systematic Chemotherapy Upon Her-2 Negative Breast Cancer With Leptomeningeal Metastasis (CONQUER)
This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled, open-label investigator-initiated clinical study to evaluate the clinical efficacy and quality of life of intrathecal chemotherapy through Ommaya reservoir in combination with systematic chemotherapy versus systemic chemotherapy alone in patients with Her-2 negative breast cancer with leptomeningeal metastasis.

A Phase I Study to Evaluate the Intratumoral Influenza Vaccine Administration in Patients With Breast Cancer
This Phase 1 study will assess the safety and efficacy (usefulness) of administering 2 doses of seasonal flu vaccine directly into breast cancer tissue (primary tumor), and will study the tumor and whole body response to the vaccine. If the tumor is palpable (able to fee by touch), the vaccine will be administered by a Surgeon/oncologist in the outpatient floor - both experienced and trained. If not palpable, the procedure will be done via guided Ultrasound by our Breast Radiologist -- both experienced and trained. Women with triple-negative (TNBC) and HER2+ types of breast cancer will be eligible for enrollment. Up to 18 subjects may be enrolled at Rush. Successive groups of 3 subjects per breast cancer type will be given increasing doses of vaccine. There are 3 potential dosing groups (half-dose, full dose, and high dose). Blood, stool (optional), and tumor tissue samples will be collected and tested. The active participation period is from one week prior to starting chemotherapy through three months post surgery.

Acupressure for Aromatase Inhibitor-Associated Musculoskeletal Symptoms in Patients With Breast Cancer
This is a randomized, double-blinded trial of self-acupressure to examine the effect of treatment on aromatase inhibitor (AI)-associated musculoskeletal symptoms (AIMSS) in postmenopausal women with breast cancer. Acupressure is similar to acupuncture, but uses pressure rather than needles to stimulate specific points on the body. Acupressure involves applying mild to moderate physical pressure using your fingers, or an assistive device, to these points to try to bring about a physiological change in your body, in this case relief from joint pain and stiffness. The investigators will also examine effects of acupressure on other symptoms that commonly develop in AI-treated patients. In addition, changes in stool microbiome with acupressure treatment will be examined in an exploratory way to obtain preliminary information about the effect of acupressure on the gut microbiome in this condition.

ICG-fluorescence Imaging for Intraoperative Breast Cancer Margins Evaluation: a Dose-timing Study
Designed in five-arm, single-center, prospective randomized, observational- interventional, open-label study which will evaluate patients with histological proven early-stage BC that will undergo planned BCS for their local treatment. Two preoperatively times frames will be used for the administration of a total of 5 different indocyanine green (ICG) dose as a single dose-patient arm. In the first time frame (intraoperative arms), the dose of, respectively 0.125 mg/kg and 0.25 mg/kg of ICG will be administered at induction anesthesia (at least 20 minutes before the BCS) in two subgroups. In the second time frame, (preoperative arms), the dose of, respectively, 0.5 mg/kg, 1 mg/kg, and 2 mg/kg of ICG will be administered 24 h before surgery in 3 subgroups.

The Effects of Serratus Posterior Superior Intercostal Plane Block on Postoperative Analgesia in Patients Undergoing Breast Cancer Surgery
Acute postoperative pain after breast cancer surgery is usually moderate to severe, and inadequate postoperative pain management can significantly increase perioperative analgesic consumption, prolong hospital stay, and even cause long-term persistent pain such as postmastectomy pain syndrome. A multimodal analgesic approach (NSAII, paracetamol, opioids, local infiltration, facial plane blocks and paravertebral and periparavertebral blocks) is recommended. Paravertebral block (PVB) is considered the gold standard analgesic method for breast surgery. However, PVB is an invasive block requiring advanced skills and deep injection in close proximity to the pleura, intercostal nerves, neuraxis, great vessels and intercostal neurovascular bundles. As a result, the ongoing risks of pneumothorax, neuraxial spread, hypotension and systemic toxicity preclude its routine use in the day surgery setting. Therefore, alternative blocks have been developed. Various regional techniques such as Serratus plan block (SPB), interpectoral/pectoroserratus blocks (PECS I/II), erector spina plan block (ESPB) and rhomboid intercostal plan block (RIB) have been used to relieve pain after breast surgery. However, local anesthetic distribution may be affected by the surgical incision in the chest muscles. ESPB can be performed from cervical to sacral vertebrae, but clinical, cadaveric and radiologic results are inconsistent. RIB provides hemithoracic analgesia; however, RIB does not cover the cranial aspect of the T2 dermatome. A meta-analysis reported that SPB effectively relieves acute postoperative pain, reduces nausea and vomiting, and improves perioperative anesthesia outcomes in breast surgery. In another study compared with placebo, it was reported that serratus plane block provided less pain at rest, but there was no significant difference in reducing postoperative opioid consumption. Serratus Posterior Superior Intercostal Plan Block is performed in the fascial plane between the serratus posterior superior muscle and intercostal muscles at the second and third costal level. SPSIB provides hemithoracic analgesia from the paraspinal region to the anteromedial region of the chest wall including the axillary region. In a case series of patients undergoing breast surgery, it was reported that the costal plane plays an important role in preventing pneumothorax, provides a natural barrier to the pleura, and may be a good choice for postoperative analgesia management as part of multimodal analgesia after breast surgery. In this study, the investigators aimed to observationally investigate the effect of serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block on postoperative opioid consumption in patients undergoing breast cancer surgery under general anesthesia.
