Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

This purpose of this study is to examine skin reactions (called radiation dermatitis) that occur during pencil beam scanning (PBS) proton therapy. The researchers will test a unique technique called "Spot Delete" to see if it can reduce skin reactions for breast patients treated with PBS. They will also use a special computer model to study how the energy of the proton beam (linear energy transfer) is related to these skin reactions. The study involves creating a treatment plan based on a CT scan, which helps guide the proton beam in the body. The clinical team uses this CT scan to find the best placement for the protons. The "Spot Delete" method prevents protons from stopping in the skin, which is thought to cause skin redness.

This trial studies the effect of a geriatric care survivorship intervention in improving the overall health of older adults who have completed curative treatment for stage I-III breast cancer. Geriatric assessment is the complete examination of an elderly individual, which includes a full valuation of the physical and mental conditions, as well as a check of emotional state. Geriatric assessment and survivorship visits after treatment may reduce health burdens and improve the well-being and quality of life of elderly patients with breast cancer. Researchers hope to improve the overall health of older adults who have undergone curative treatment for stage I-III breast cancer.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the impact of acupuncture in preventing worsening of hot flashes and sleep disorders in paucisymptomatic premenopausal Breast Cancer (BC) patients undergoing LHRHa plus endocrine therapy. According to the published data, acupuncture is an effective and long-lasting (6 to 8 months) treatment for severe vasomotor symptoms. Treatment response can be affected by different variables, including intervention timing. The main question this study aims to answer is: Can we expect an additional benefit resulting from an early intervention (when patients are still presymptomatic/paucysintomatic) with acupuncture in preventing worsening in terms of frequency/severity of hot flashes and sleep disorders? Researchers will compare patients randomized in two arms: Arm A: intervention with acupuncture Arm B: usual care to see if acupuncture is superior to usual care in preventing worsening of hot flashes

The primary objectives of this study are to adapt and evaluate a sexual quality of life intervention in women with metastatic breast cancer and their partners.

The aim of this study is to test the efficacy of a nature-based cognitive intervention to restore cognitive function among women treated for breast cancer.

The goal of this study is to test a 6-week virtual education program among Black breast cancer survivors. The virtual program includes sessions on physical activity, goal setting, nutrition, sleep, stress, and social connections.

This project will investigate the efficacy of a cognitive remediation programme in patients treated for breast cancer. patients will be randomized between "no intervention" and "intervention programme". Efficay will be assessed in term of improved quality of life.

This clinical trial evaluates the feasibility of coaching-based navigation for black breast cancer survivors including recruitment, dropout, and survey completion rates. A coaching-based navigation may perform a needs assessment and coach the participant to access relevant supportive content including physical rehabilitation, emotional and psychosocial support, and nutrition and exercise programming. This trial aims to see whether this navigation program may improve the quality of life of black breast cancer survivors.

This clinical trial evaluates the use of virtual reality (VR) goggles during chemotherapy infusion to reduce anxiety-related symptoms in patients with head and neck, thoracic, hematologic, and breast cancers. Virtual reality headsets provide the ability for users to explore a simulated, three-dimensional environment with which users can interact. In virtual reality users can play interactive games, enjoy relaxing experiences, and watch immersive videos. The use of VR goggles may help with anxiety management during chemotherapy infusion.

The 3 FDA-approved CDK4, 6 inhibitors, palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemciclib, all provided progression-free survival benefits when combined with endocrine therapy in advanced ER+/HER2- breast cancer. But, not all of them provided overall survival benefit in the same setting. One of the proposed mechanisms that influence the overall survival difference is from the different influence of the 3 CDK4, 6 inhibitors on tumor microenvironment and/ or immune system. However, there was no head-to-head comparison of the 3 CDK4, 6 inhibitors in the same study. Neoadjuvant therapy provides a window to obtain tissue samples before treatment, during treatment, and after treatment. We aim to compare the immune modulation effects of palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib with letrozole in neoadjuvant treatment for ER+/HER2- early breast cancer.
