Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

This study compares molecular breast imaging (MBI) and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in screening patients with dense breast tissue. Breast imaging may help doctors find breast cancer sooner, when it may be easier to treat. Molecular breast imaging (MBI) uses an injection of a small amount of radioactive material that is taken up in tissues of the body that are actively changing, such as breast cancer. A specialized camera, called a gamma camera, takes pictures of the gamma rays emitted by this material. MBI may detect cancers that are not visible on mammograms. This study may help researchers determine how MBI testing compares to DBT screening.

The objective of the study is to serve as a correlative study for patients enrolled on the RadCOMP trial (NCT02603341), a randomized phase III study of stage II and III breast cancer patients treated with either conventional photon radiation or proton beam radiation

Randomized trial comparing tomosynthesis plus synthetic 2D Mammography vs Digital Mammography in respect to incidence of advanced cancers (interval and following round) and interval cancers.

This is a prospective, single-center, non-randomized, non-controlled observational study.

This study is looking at how an imaging test could help doctors understand if a patient with early breast cancer will respond to drugs that use the patient's immune system to fight cancer.

There are women for whom a screening breast MRI is clinically recommended, but not feasible either due to patient factors (body habitus, pacemaker or other implant, claustrophobia) or access (cost, other constraints). Contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) is a potential alternative to MRI for screening that uses updated standard mammography equipment to obtain low- and high-energy images after intravenous injection of iodinated contrast (as used in CT scanning). The investigators seek to validate screening CEM as an alternative to screening MRI.

This is a prospective clinical trial aiming to determine the ability of an AI pipeline to identify women who would benefit from supplemental MRI in terms of decreasing the number of cancers having a significantly delayed detection

This study will use polysomnography, alongside other methodologies such as questionnaires, actigraphic measurements and salivary melatonin samples used in previous studies to investigate sleep quality in patients with i) localized, locally advanced or metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer or ii) with full-resected early (stage I-III) epithelial breast cancer. The measurements will be taken before androgen deprivation therapy (ADT - for prostate cancer patients) or endocrine therapy (for breast cancer patients) is initiated, at 6 months and some measures again at 12 months.The groups, defined by cancer type and whether or not treatment includes ADT / endocrine therapy, will be compared to see if there are differences in the prevalence of the lowered sleep quality in the groups.

The purpose of this study is to find out how often the researchers can avoid an ALND in patients with early-stage, node-positive HR+/HER2- breast cancer who are having upfront surgery. The study researchers think that, if AUS before surgery can help identify people who may have up to 3 affected lymph nodes, it will be possible to perform the less radical standard SLNB during surgery.

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of generating patient derived micro-organospheres (PDMO) from patients with advanced breast cancer to determine sensitivity to the most common forms of chemotherapy used in advanced breast cancer care.
