Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

This study aims to assess real-world tumor response in pre/perimenopausal HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients initiating palbociclib + aromatase inhibitor (AI) or AI alone as first-line therapy during the period on or after 01 January 2010 to on or before 30 June 2020. Data will be obtained from structured data fields within an electronic health record (EHR) database and will be supplemented by additional unstructured data collected through a targeted chart review.

Study to assess the capability of using the Histolog Scanner, a recent large field-of-view confocal laser scanning medical imaging device for the breast cancer detection in fresh lumpectomy margins.

Depression and anxiety in patients with breast cancer is serious comorbidity that affects the quality of life for patients, and their survival rates as they have poorer health outcomes. Furthermore, patients' high psychological burden is linked to higher healthcare costs. The investigation of the depression and anxiety symptoms prevalence among newly diagnosed breast cancer patients will help to navigate the health policy adjustment and psycho-social support system requirements. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms among newly diagnosed breast cancer patients in Almaty, Kazakhstan, and associated risk factors.

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

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

The study was an observational, retrospective cohort design, using US administrative insurance claims data, to better understand Healthcare resource utilization (HRU) and healthcare costs among women with mBC initiated on a CDK4/6 inhibitor.

This non-interventional retrospective study will describe real-world treatment patterns and clinical outcomes among adults with HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer with germline BRCA1/2 mutations who initiated talazoparib as a first or later line of therapy. Patients will be identified from the Flatiron Electronic Health Record database.

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 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

Comorbidities in breast cancer survival account for 49% of overall survival difference between black and white women. Many obesity-related comorbidities disproportionately affect black women, therefore pointing to a need to address obesity related comorbidities in survival disparities in early breast cancer patients. This study tinvestigates how messages and messaging about healthy weight can be tailored for racially diverse breast cancer survivors with obesity in order to ensure that clinic-based communications between patients and their oncology provider are patient-centered and culturally sensitive.
