Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

Four in 10 women diagnosed with breast cancer undergo mastectomy with or without breast reconstruction and less than half are satisfied with how they look unclothed. Breast conservation (removing the area with the lump only) can offer less extensive surgery and improved breast appearance, which can therefore increase well-being. Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) closely shapes the radiation beam to the cancer and is currently given after breast surgery. A new combination of IMRT followed by hormone treatment given before surgery, may increase the possibility of breast conservation.

A prospective observational multicenter study to compare the outcome of breast cancer surveillance using mammography, breast US, contrast-enhanced MRI, and diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI) as a screening tool, in the high-risk women for breast cancer. Primary objective: To compare the sensitivity of mammography, breast US, contrast-enhanced MRI, and DWI for the detection of breast cancer Secondary objective: To compare the specificity of mammography, breast US, contrast-enhanced MRI, and DWI for the detection of breast cancer To compare the cancer detection rate of mammography, breast US, contrast-enhanced MRI, and DWI To compare the characteristics of detected cancers

The number of surgical procedures performed in ambulatory hospitalization for cancers of the skin or breast is increasing for medical and economic reasons. But the protocols of care and the clinical pathways are poorly adapted for elderly patients with physical or cognitive impairment. The goal of this study is to test the impact of an oncology ambulatory surgical care in patients aged 75 years or older, with breast or skin cancer and treated in Henri Mondor hospital on the increase in the proportion of patients operated on an outpatient basis

Prospective MR-imaging study : role of magnetic resonance (MR) and Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) MR in staging and therapy assessment in breast cancer patients with bone metastases.

The OctavaPink test is indicated as an adjunct to mammography for breast cancer screening in asymptomatic women for whom screening or diagnostic mammography findings are normal or benign (BIRADS assessment category 1 or 2) and breast tissue is dense (BIRADS composition/density 3 or 4). The device is intended to increase breast cancer detection in the described patient population. Based upon the result of OctavaPink, the patient will be further evaluated by their physician.

Patients with a higher breast cancer risk (higher than 17% according to the IBIS calculation) will receive a 2D digital mammography together with a 3D tomosynthesis (so called combo tomo) of both breasts in two views in order to investigate the additional value of tomosynthesis in the diagnosis of breast cancer.

Breast cancer biomarkers are usually performed on core needle biopsy (CNB) specimens and are not routinely repeated on surgical specimens (SS). However, preliminary data suggests that testing these biomarkers, on SS when compared to CNB samples can lead to different results. Our hypothesis is that The aim of this study is to identify a group of women with invasive breast cancer who may benefit from additional HER2 testing on their SS to ensure that areas of HER2 amplification are not missed. Another aim is to determine whether further HER2 testing on the SS in select patients would lead to changes in breast cancer treatment options.

The Breast Cancer Registry aims to collect clinical data of all breast cancer patients diagnosed and/or treated in the National University Hospital, with the goal of understanding risk factors, presenting symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and outcome data of breast cancer in Singapore. This information will contribute to improving management of breast cancer patients.

The major purpose of this study is to evaluate a laboratory developed test that measures multiple breast cancer-specific biomarker proteins in your blood samples. The biomarker results along with your personal medical profile will be evaluated to determine your risk for the presence of a malignancy in the breast as compared to your breast evaluation assessment conducted by your physician.

Purpose: Screening of large samples is to search the gene mutation of the breast cancer susceptibility gene (BRCA1 and BRCA2) in Chinese high risk group. To build the breast cancer BRCA1/2 mutation database of Chinese group. To build the hazard model of breast cancer BRCA1/2 mutation of Chinese group.
