SCAN-B: The Sweden Cancerome Analysis Network - Breast Initiative
This study evaluates the genomic profiles of breast cancer in a prospective and population-based manner. In the first phase, breast tumors are analyzed by whole transcriptome RNA-sequencing. Gene expression profiles, mutational profiles, and transcript isoform-level data will be analyzed in the context of patient information, clinicopathological variables, and outcome, with the purpose to develop new molecular diagnostic assays for breast cancer. Additional genome-scale RNA, DNA, and protein analyses will be performed in the future.

The Effect of Breast Cancer and Breast Self-examination Education Given to Women on Breast Cancer Fear and Breast Examination Skills
According to a news published by the World Health Organization (WHO); More than 2.3 million cases of breast cancer occur each year, making it the most common cancer among adults. In 95% of all countries, breast cancer is the first or second cause of female cancer death. In 2020, 2.3 million women worldwide were diagnosed with breast cancer and 685,000 deaths occurred. In Turkey, breast cancer ranks first among the most common cancer types in women, and the number of breast cancer cases in women in 2020 was recorded as 74 638. As a result of this situation, WHO (2023) published the Global Breast Cancer Initiative Framework to save 2.5 million lives from breast cancer by 2040. This published framework includes health promotion for early detection, timely diagnosis and comprehensive management of breast cancer. One of the most effective ways to reduce breast cancer mortality and morbidity rate is early diagnosis. It is important to determine early diagnosis and signs and symptoms of cancer before they appear. Early diagnosis of breast cancer is possible with breast self-examination (BSE), clinical breast examination and mammography. Breast self-examination is an important examination method in terms of detecting changes in breast tissue and preventing subsequent complications. It is also an easy-to-apply, cheap and non-invasive method. In Turkey, it is recommended that women regularly perform breast self-examination every month after the age of 20, women between the ages of 20 and 40 should have a clinical breast examination every two years, and women between the ages of 40 and 69 should have a clinical breast examination every year and have a mammogram every two years. There are studies showing that fear of breast cancer has a positive and negative impact on early diagnosis behaviors. Champion et al. (2004) stated that women with moderate breast cancer fear had a high rate of early detection behavior, whereas low and high fear levels had a negative effect on behavior. In the study conducted by Yavan et al. (2010) on 188 women, 2% of the women. They found that 3 of them had regular BSE and 78.7% of them had never had a mammography. In addition, 85% of the women included in the study stated that they had a fear of breast cancer due to a family history of breast cancer, being diagnosed with breast cancer, and the presence of risk factors. Study results show that fear of breast cancer affects screening results. Therefore, aim in the study is; To determine the effect of breast cancer and BSE training given to women on breast cancer fear and BSE skills.

Cognitive Aging in Older Long-term Breast Cancer Survivors
The purpose of this study is to look at how differences in cognitive (mental) function develop over time in breast cancer survivors compared to volunteers without a history of cancer (healthy volunteers). Both cancer survivors and healthy volunteers (who are the same age as the cancer survivors) will participate in this study so the researchers can compare the results of neurocognitive testing (which looks at memory, attention, and information processing) on each group of participants.

Comparative Effectiveness of Together After Cancer Among Breast Cancer Survivors and Their Intimate Partners
To evaluate the impact of an adapted online, self-help relationship intervention (supplemented with brief coach calls) for survivors of breast cancer and their partners. Couples will be randomized to receive either the online intervention (Together after Cancer) or usual care (UC) and assessed at baseline, end of the program, and 3 months after randomization.

SEQUence of Endocrine Therapy in Advanced Luminal Breast Cancer (SEQUEL-Breast): A Phase 2 Study on Fulvestrant Beyond Progression in Combination With Alpelisib for PIK3CA-mutated, Hormone-receptor Positive HER2 Negative Advanced Breast Cancer
The study is a nationwide, multicenter single-arm phase 2 study. The current phase 2 study investigates the efficacy of the combination of fulvestrant and alpelisib directly after progression on fulvestrant (either in first or second line, with or without previous use of CDK4/6-inhibitor) in patients with HR+ HER2- advanced breast cancer with PIK3CA mutated tumors. All eligible patients must have progressive disease on fulvestrant as latest treatment line. Previous treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor in first or second line is obligatory. After progressive disease is confirmed, it is important to continue fulvestrant (without CDK4/6 inhibition) during the screening period awaiting study enrollment. After study enrollment all participants will be treated with alpelisib and fulvestrant beyond progression. Follow-up time will be until progression or death or until a different oncolytic treatment has started (in case no progressive disease during previous fulvestrant and alpelisib treatment has been documented). Should participants discontinue due to reasons other than progression or death (e.g. toxicity), then they should still be evaluated for disease progression every 8 weeks as per protocol until progression, unless they do not wish to proceed with these screenings, or receive a different oncolytic treatment.

New Techniques to evAlUate Response to neOadjuvant Treatments in bReast cAncer: Can bReast Surgery be Avoided
The role of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in breast cancer is well established. Increasing rates of pathologic complete response (pCR) has increased de-escalation of surgical techniques. The objective of the study is to evaluate new radiologic techniques that can accurately detect complete response in order to eliminate breast surgery. . . Currently, there are several imaging techniques for NAC response assessment (magnetic resonance imaging -MRI-, mammography and ultrasound), with good correlation in partial response, but they lack power in predicting complete pathological response. The investigators propose to use IVIM (Intravoxel incoherent motion), Kurtosis (DKI by Diffusion Kurtosis imaging) and diffusion tensor image (DTI) in MRI, contrast enhancement mammography and shear wave elastography for the evaluation of the response to systemic treatment in breast cancer patients. In order to validate the technique, in those patients with a radiological complete response by all the radiological imaging methods, a vacuum-assisted biopsy will be performed before surgery. After that, a comparison will be done between the results of the pre surgical biopsy and the definitive pathology of the specimen. So the investigators can evaluate if patients with complete radiological response after NAC, can be spared breast surgery.
