Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between indices of overall diet quality and incident breast cancer risk in a large prospective cohort of women.

BREAKOUT -International Breast Cancer Biomarker, Standard of Care and Real World Outcomes Study BREAKOUT is a prospective cross-sectional cohort study of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative metastatic breast cancer patients who have started 1st line systemic cytotoxic chemotherapy. The study will estimate the prevalence of germline breast cancer susceptibility gene in an otherwise unselected population, describe the treatments administered and estimate the associated clinical outcomes of overall survival and progression-free survival amongst mutation carriers within the context of a low poly ADP ribose polymerase inhibitor treatment setting. Other exploratory analyses may be undertaken to describe somatic breast cancer susceptibility gene and other homologous recombination repair gene mutations.

The association between ultrasound-guided Pecs II block and parasternal block can represent a valid alternative in the management of acute and postoperative pain syndrome after quadrantectomy with or without axillary dissection.

This is a nested multicenter, prospective cohort study within the I-SPY 2 TRIAL for women undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy for primary breast cancer who are also undergoing definitive surgical resection and have clinical or radiographic evidence of residual tumor at the completion of chemotherapy.

This is a pilot study of the pectoral nerves block (PECS) in patients with persistent pain after breast cancer surgery.

The purpose of this study is to determine the detection rate and the false negative rate of sentinel lymph node (SLN) by superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) alone or in addition to radioisotope and compared to the standard method (blue and radioisotope) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with node-positive breast cancer converted to node negative after treatment by ultrasound. A randomized controlled trial.

The purpose of this study is to obtain sufficient specimens and correlating clinical data from a well-controlled prospective clinical trial collecting longitudinal specimens from subjects diagnosed with any stage of breast cancer.

The goal of this research study is to learn more about how different treatment decisions may influence the quality of life in women with breast cancer. Researchers want to use what is learned from this study to help future patients with breast cancer to be more informed when making treatment decisions.

Purpose: To determine whether patients at high risk to develop breast cancer having received at least 6 cumulative dosages of macrocyclic Gd-based contrast media in the context of breast cancer screening by means of contrast-enhanced MRI. Methods: Diagnostic study encompassing two arms: first, 50 patients having received ≥6 dosages of macrocyclic Gd-based contrast media in the course of MRI-based breast cancer screening will undergo brain MRI assessment for signal alterations due to Gd-deposits. The second arm consists of 50 healthy volunteers that never received Gd-based contrast agents, and undergoes the same brain MRI assessment as the patient-based arm 1 of the study. Signal intensities will be compared to assess the potential presence or absence of macrocyclic Gd-based contrast agent deposits in the brain. In case of presence of signal alterations in arm 1 these will be further stratified by number of previously administered macrocyclic Gd-contrast agent doses. Projected outcome: High cumulative dosages of macrocyclic Gd-based contrast agent either result or do not result in brain MRI signal alterations in healthy women participating in a high-risk screening program for the early detection of breast cancer that necessitates Gd-contrast agent enhanced breast MRI at regular intervals.

The purpose of the study was to analyze the psychological and emotional determinants of domestic dissemination of information about genetic risk of cancer and to compare the level of diffusion syndromes in breast/ ovarian cancer ( BRCA1 / BRCA2) and colon/endometrial ( HNPCC )
