Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

The purpose of the study: It provides the highest level of evidence ever studied on the use of robotic surgical systems during breast surgery for breast cancer treatment, and aims to reveal the clinical significance of successive breast reconstruction(immediate breast reconstruction, IBR) at the same time as robotic assisted papillary preservation mastectomyRobot-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy, RNSM)

This study will be to combine oral capecitabine and oral niraparib such thz association may increase clinical benefits of PARP inhibitors in germline BRCA mutated HER2 negative advanced breast cancer patients.

Background: Breast cancer is the type of cancer that mostly affects women in the world. Although physical and psychological side effects accompany cancer and the aggressiveness of the treatment, regular practice of physical exercise is considered a non-pharmacological tool to improve the quality of life of breast cancer survivors. The present study aims to evaluate the effects of aerobic training programs in aquatic and land environments plus a health education program, compared with a health education program alone, on cancer-related fatigue and other health-related outcomes in breast cancer survivors. Methods: The WaterMama trial is a randomized, single-blinded, three-arm, parallel, superiority trial. Forty-eight women, ≥18 years of age, who have completed primary treatment and been diagnosed with stage I-III breast cancer are recruited. Participants are randomly allocated on a 1:1:1 ratio to 12-week interventions of aerobic exercise training programs either on the aquatic or land environment two times per week plus health education, or an active-control group receiving health education intervention, once a week. Cancer-related fatigue (primary outcome), physical fitness (i.e., muscle strength of the knee extensors, muscle thickness and muscle quality of quadriceps, resting heart rate, maximum oxygen consumption, and performance in functional tests), mental health (i.e., depressive and anxiety symptoms), cognitive function, pain and quality of life are measured before and after 12 weeks of intervention. The analysis plan will use an intention-to-treat approach and protocol criteria. Discussion: The conceptual hypothesis is that both training programs plus health education positively affect cancer-related fatigue, physical fitness, mental health, cognitive function, pain, and quality of life compared to the health education group alone. Additionally, it is expected that the aquatic program plus health education to provide more significant effects on cancer-related fatigue and physical parameters due to its multi-component character, with a consequent greater positive impact on other investigated parameters in this group.

This is a Phase II, single-arm, open label study to evaluate Olaparib plus Pembrolizumab following platinum-based chemotherapy plus Pembrolizumab as neoadjuvant therapy for germline BRCA (gBRCA) 1/2 mutated triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Pembrolizumab in combination with weekly paclitaxel and carboplatin (treatment 1) is followed by Pembrolizumab in combination with Olaparib (treatment 2) in neoadjuvant setting and Pembrolizumab in combination with Olaparib in adjuvant setting will be studied

The present multicenter, retrospective and prospective observational study, aims to evaluate an ultra-hypofractionated whole breast irradiation schedule (WBI, 26 Gy in 5 fractions), in order to confirm literature data (FAST-F study) in the clinical practice. Patient population included women affected by early stage breast cancer (BC), both invasive and ductal carcinoma in situ, receiving ultra-hypofractionated WBI (with or without a tumor bed boost) after breast conserving surgery (BCS). Main exclusion criteria are mastectomy and regional nodal irradiation. Neoadjuvant and/or adjuvant systemic therapies are allowed. The primary otcome is acute and chronic toxicity evaluation. Secondary outcomes are: overall servival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), rates of local and loco-regional recurrences, distant metastasis occurrence, cosmetic outcome and quality of life (QoL) assessment. Acute and late toxicities will be scored according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) scale version 5.0. Cosmetic assessment will be graded according to the Harvard scale. Frontal photographs of both breasts will be used to evaluate toxicity and cosmetic results. For QoL assessment the EORTC (European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer), QLQ-C30 and EORTC-QLQ-BR23 questionnaires will be administered.

In 2016, a meta-analysis showed that DNA-based risk reporting alone does not facilitate behavior change. However, there have been several studies showing that tailoring care plans related to diet may help with adherence to a tailored diet plan. Risk prediction report displays both Polygenic Risk Score (PRS) and modifiable (non-genetic) risk factors. Overtime, the investigators aim to combine both PRS and modifiable risk factors to have a localized and stronger prediction model for the local population. The risk prediction report is designed to tailor care plans for patients by their physicians or care planner. Focus groups allow deeper discussions in themes important to guide design of the report. This method has been used in previous similar studies, such as one by Cutting et al to understand physicians' preference in integrating genetic reports into daily practice. Studies also have shown that local adoption of personalized medicine and care is hindered by limited infrastructure of information management and awareness, despite personalized medicine being widely adopted in healthcare systems in developing countries.

18F-Fluoroestradiol (18F-FES) is an estrogen receptor-targeting positron emission tomography tracer with high sensitivity and specificity for the detection of estrogen receptor（ER）-positive tumors . 18F-FES has been used as a predictive biomarker to demonstrate estrogen receptor heterogeneity , to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of estrogen receptor-targeted drugs ， to measure residual estrogen receptors during endocrine therapy and to determine biologically optimal doses of novel estrogen receptor-targeted drugs .This study aimes to explore the efficacy of 18F-FES PET/CT in evaluating the expression levels of ER in primary and metastatic breast cancer patients.

There are controversies about breast implant-based reconstruction techniques. Our center pioneered single-port insufflation endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy (SIE-NSM) combined with stage I prosthesis reconstruction. The study's primary objective is to compare single-port endoscopic NSM combined with pre-pectoral breast reconstruction to the subpectoral breast reconstruction group regarding breast satisfaction. This study is an ambispective cohort study. The study will be conducted at Beijing Friendship Hospital, affiliated with Capital Medical University. Patients will be enrolled retrospectively from January 2014 to March 2022 by reviewing the medical records and recruited prospectively from March 2022 to March 2025. The two cohorts are the pre-pectoral breast reconstruction cohort and the subpectoral breast reconstruction cohort, both following single-port insufflation endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy. The primary outcome of this study is postoperative breast satisfaction, which the BREAST-Q score will measure. The different variables will be compared using the Χ2 test for categorical variables and the Mann-Whitney test for continuous variables.

To evaluate the predictive and prognostic value of HER2 expression of circulating tumor cells in HER2-positive advanced breast cancer patients treated with ADC

To establish if the cardiac radiation dose assesment is well aproximated with routine 3D CT scan compared to 4D CT experimental scan with respiratory gating (breath motion monitoring). The study population relates to left side breast cancers female patients that require a radiation therapy treatment.
