Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy were divided into two groups. patients in catheter group were placed a catheter with open technique by the surgeon in the pectoral area. thirty minutes before extubation %1 lidocain 10 ml, %0.5 bupivacain 10 ml and 10 ml %0.9 sodium chloride were given through the catheter for postoperative analgesia. patients in iv analgesia group were given 100 mg tramadol iv 30 minutes before extubation. visual analog pain scale (VAS) scores, rescue analgesic requirement, complications were recorded and compared between two groups 1, 6, 12, 24 hours and 90 days after surgery.

To evaluate the prescription patterns and treatment outcomes of subsequent therapies after progression on palbociclib in the real world.

BRCA-DIRECT is a pragmatic, randomised, non-inferiority evaluation that aims to evaluate whether digital delivery of pre-test information for BRCA-testing in breast cancer patients is non-inferior to current standard practice of 1:1 delivery from a healthcare professional as measured by rate of uptake of the genetic testing.

The main goal of the study is to evaluate sleep disorders in breast cancer patients prior to and during a course of radiotherapy in terms of severity of sleep disorders, distress for the patients and use of sleeping drugs, in order to evaluate the potential effect of habituation to radiotherapy during the course of treatment and generate hypotheses thereof. The patients will be asked to complete a questionnaire prior to radiotherapy, after 5 and 15 fractions of radiotherapy, and at the end of radiotherapy. The questionnaire includes questions regarding symptoms, distress, sleep disorders and sleeping drugs. In addition, a questionnaire regarding the use of smartphones / tablets will be completed prior to radiotherapy. Forty-eight patients with documented start of radiotherapy and with a documented completed questionnaire at baseline and at least one completed questionnaire after start of radiotherapy should be subjected to statistical analysis. Assuming that 5% of patients do not fulfil these requirements, a total of 51 patients should be enrolled to this study.

Hormone therapy is the primary treatment option for patients with HR+ HER2- breast cancer. Despite its activity, hormone therapy is associated with initial, or more frequently acquired, resistance after exposure to one or more treatment lines. The combination of palbociclib with hormone therapy significantly increases progression free survival (PFS) compared with hormone therapy in first and second treatment line of HR+ HER2- advanced breast cancer. These results lead to palbociclib approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in February 2015, and European Medicines Agency (EMA) approval in November 2016 for first-line treatment of patients with metastatic HR+/HER2-breast cancer in combination with an aromatase inhibitor, and for patients who had previously received hormone therapy in combination with fulvestrant. In Spain, palbociclib was launched last November 1st, 2017. During this period, approximately 3500 patients have received treatment with Palbociclib, and approximately a half of them in first-line treatment in combination with hormone therapy. The collection of efficacy and toxicity data in the first-line usage in the clinical practice setting is of clinical interest.

This proof of concept study will evaluate the ability of a new, ultrasound based technology called Bullseye Constructive Shearwave Interference (CSI) (trade name, Bullseye Elasticity Quantification) to measure lymphedema of the upper arm among breast cancer survivors. The study's hypothesis is that the CSI device can detect the presence of clinically significant lymphedema when compared with the standard arm tape measurement.

This is a monocentric, prospective and interventional study aimed to investigating the physiological responses of eccentric compared to concentric cycling realized 1) at the same metabolic demand and 2) at the same mechanical power output. In order to compare the physiological responses between these two cycling modalities, 3 cycling sessions should be performed for each patient where concentric one will serve as reference / comparison to the eccentric one: Session (a): eccentric cycling Session (b): high intensity concentric cycling realized at the same mechanical power output than eccentric cycling Session (c): low intensity concentric cycling realized at the same metabolic demand than eccentric cycling The 3 sessions will be performed for each patient and order will be randomized.

The purpose of this study is to develop and test a mobile app for Black/African American breast cancer survivors and their relatives, called Move Together, that promotes sitting less and moving more for better health.

This study evaluates what influences treatment decision-making in African American women with triple negative breast cancer. The study also aims to learn about the influence of information sources that support this decision-making process.

Up to 78% of women diagnosed with breast cancer experience impairments in their cognitive function (e.g., frequent forgetfulness, slow processing speeds, and difficulties in concentration, multitasking and/or word retrieval) in the course of cancer treatment. These cognitive impairments (CI) have negative effects on patients' social relationships, overall life satisfaction, and treatment adherence. Dietary intake may be an important factor in mitigating risk of CI that breast cancer patients experience. Several studies have suggested that dietary intake of specific nutrients and foods (e.g., carotenoids, B-vitamin, and omega-3 fatty acids rich foods) can be helpful to decrease the severity of cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI). High-quality dietary patterns can be also helpful to protect white matter volume and its integrity; damage to and changes in white matter contributes to CRCI. However, despite the high incidence of CRCI in breast cancer patients, very little is known about etiology of CRCI. Thus, the purpose of this observational study with cross-sectional design is to examine the relationships of diet with brain structural and functional outcomes of breast cancer patients. The study will aim to enroll 30 female postmenopausal breast cancer survivors (age 45-75) who have recently completed chemotherapy treatment within 3-12 months from study enrollment. Participants will complete study questionnaires online, and will have an in-person study visit to complete a functional magnetic resonance imagine (MRI) scan, cognitive testing, and blood sample collection via fingerstick and venous blood draw. It is expected that this study will advance the field's understanding and ability to early assess, manage, and prevent CRCI.
