Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

The psychological rehabilitation of breast cancer patients plays an important role in the whole process of disease rehabilitation. In this paper, patients with breast cancer were treated with ACT group intervention for a period of four weeks to improve their disease acceptance and psychological flexibility, so as to improve their quality of life. Finally, its effect and mechanism are explored by covariance analysis and mediation analysis. The significant findings of this study will provide the quality of life changes in breast cancer patients and how did these changes happen and the moderating role of social support in the process of intervention.

This Study investigates the effects of two different yoga interventions on the health-related quality of life in breast cancer patients. Qualitative and quantitative data will be collected.

Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignant disease, which is fifth leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Poor nutritional status is one of the common physical symptoms found among cancer patients, in which it is caused by both cancer disease state and its oncology treatment regimens used. Cancer patients develop a tumor-associated malnutrition characterized by an insufficient supply of macro- and micronutrients and systemic chemotherapy treatment that could significantly affecting the nutritional status of these patients by its side effects associated with chemotherapy that may lead to many medical complications that often requires hospitalization and death. An adequate nutritional intervention can have a beneficial impact on the disease condition and also the progress of the disease, as an integral part of adjuvant therapy on cancer care. Numerous studies had shown that the use of EPA and DHA are safe (absence of cardiotoxic effects) and effective in reducing the common chemotherapy-related side effects, such as bone density loss, peripheral neuropathy and weight gain. The question remains arises to whether administration of both vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids supplementations could be used as important nutritional strategy during the active oncology treatment in breast cancer patients. In Palestine, nutritional intervention strategies are poorly evaluated in the oncology setting especially among patients undergoing chemotherapy. Suitable and proper nutritional interventions among breast cancer patients during active oncology treatments could help to improve nutritional status, decrease mortality and improve quality of life among these subjects. Hence, the present study is formulated to assess the effect of combined omega-3 fatty acid and vitamin D supplementation on the nutritional status, quality of life and blood inflammatory markers among breast cancer women undergoing chemotherapy treatment in the Gaza Strip, Palestine.

The primary purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of our proposed intervention approach involving (1) an integrated physiotherapy and exercise intervention for individuals with breast cancer who are undergoing chemotherapy and (2) delivery of programming via an electronic health (eHealth) application. The secondary objective is to determine the efficacy of the program on upper extremity outcomes, general physical fitness, cancer treatment-related symptoms and quality of life.

This clinical trial studies the use of a quality of life intervention called Y-AMBIENT to help young African American with stage I-III breast cancer manage daily life. Y-AMBIENT is a four-month, telephone-based intervention that includes three themed education sessions with three follow-up sessions, written materials, and videos. The Y-AMBIENT intervention may improve quality of life and other health-related outcomes in young African American breast cancer survivors.

CIPN is induced by neurotoxic chemotherapeutic agents and manifests with sensory and/or motor deficits. It is associated with significant disability and poor recovery. Common symptoms include pain, altered sensation, reduced or absent reflexes, muscle weakness, reduced balance control and insecure gait. The purpose of the study is to compare effects of sensory vibrations training to conventional aerobic and strenght exercise on neurophatic symptoms related to chemotherapy treatment.

Shared Decision Making on Care Pathways and alternative and complementary medicine (CAMs) : A Pilot Study. Study whose aim is to evaluate the feasibility of a study proposing a therapeutic education consultation leaning on the usual care pathway by estimating the recruitment capacity over 4 months as well as the acceptance rate of the study among patients diagnosed with breast cancer.

The Role of Lipofilling After Oncoplastic Breast surgeries : Evaluation of Outcomes and Patient Satisfaction

This clinical trial compares two supplemental topical agents (Aquaphor and Miaderm) for the treatment of acute radiation dermatitis in patients with breast cancer undergoing radiation therapy. Radiation dermatitis is a radiation-induced skin reaction which can cause itching, swelling, pain, and general discomfort. Aquaphor is a commonly available, inexpensive, petrolatum-based multi-purpose ointment designed to protect and sooth extremely dry skin, chapped lips, cracked hands and feet, minor cuts and burns, and many other skin irritations. Miaderm is a water-based cream and contains ingredients like calendula, hyaluronate, and aloe vera which may help reduce occurrence and severity of radiation dermatitis. Both are commonly recommended and used by breast cancer patients undergoing external beam radiation therapy (EBRT). However, it is not known whether one is better than the other in treating or preventing radiation dermatitis.

This trial studies the benefits of an exercise and diet counseling program in improving quality of life in stage I-III breast cancer survivors. Exercise and diet counseling may help improve weight loss and relevant clinical and patient-reported outcomes in overweight or obese breast cancer survivors.
