Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

Mastectomy is a cornerstone operative procedure in breast cancer treatment leaving a raw area behind with possibility of failure of primary closure sometimes with unavailability of facilities of reconstruction. This opened the door for this research to find a formula to predict the need of reconstruction

In current clinical practice, women with biopsy proven breast cancer can be sent for breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or contrast enhanced mammography (CEM) prior to surgery in order to delineate the extent of a known cancer and / or assess for the presence of occult secondary cancers. This study seeks to compare the global costs (based on actual reimbursement rates) of CEM/breast MRI, downstream imaging testing, and diagnostic procedures in women randomized to breast MRI versus CEM. Secondary goals are to compare patient preferences for CEM vs MRI and clinically relevant outcomes (e.g. conversion from lumpectormy to mastecomy).

Demonstrate that the use of this application in consultation could improve the empathy perceived of the doctors by the patients after the consultation.

Breast cancer and thyroid disorders are important health challenges commonly encountered in women. The relationship between both conditions still remains unknown. In this study, the frequency of thyroid diseases was investigated in breast cancer patients

In spite of progresses made in the medical and nurse announcement (linked to the cancer plan), still a lot of patients fell lost, anxious, especially during the first venue at the hospital day care for their chemotherapy. A longer time is necessary to give them again explanation, to reassure and to listen to them. However, patients are not always in ability to hear due to their psychological status. Young women seem to be more in distress, this is linked to the fear of the disease, the change of their social status and the future of their children. It must be noted that there is an increase of complementary therapies including Touch-Massage. Studies showed its interest on quality of life, anxiety, pain and fatigue. The concept Touch-massage (TM) is defined as a benevolent concern that takes shape through the touch and the sequence of gesture on all or parts of the body. This allows to calm, to relax, to get back into shape, to reassure, to communicate or simply to provide well-being, enjoyable to receive and to practice. This treatment is already offered to the patients at the ICO, in priority while the first course of chemotherapy, but in an informal way. I has been noticed a better-being after the TM, and an increase of demand from the patients. This is why it would be interested to measure the evolution of quality of life of those patients having a chemotherapy for a breast cancer getting or not a TM.

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide. According to the GLOBOCAN 2018 worldwide estimates of cancer incidence and mortality, in 2018, about 2,088,849 new cases were diagnosed and approximately 626,679 women were predicted to die from the disease . It is the leading cause of cancer related mortality, representing15% of deaths per year worldwide .

Breast cancer, a leading cause of mortality among females, has been the center of research for many decades. Work is in progress to further advance the research worldwide and in our region. This study is conducted to look into regional ethical predilection, clinical presentation/stage, pathological subtypes & risk factors of BC among patients of Karachi, with the aim of proposing a ground to policy making regarding protocol setting for screening and management of BC for our region.

Identify the tissue proteins associated with early breast cancer invasion phases without lymph node involvement . Consider their role in the invasion and the risk of tumor spread .

The Pecs block (pectoral nerves block) is an easy and reliable superficial block inspired by the infraclavicular block approach and the intercostal abdominis plane blocks . Many additives were used in combination with local anesthetics in Pecs block to prolong the postoperative analgesia (fentanyl, dexmedetomidine).

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide.The main cause of cancer related death is the invasion and metastasis. The usual site of spread outside the breast is to lymph nodes in the axilla.
