Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

Select the appropriate population for adding CDK4/6 inhibitors therapy in high risk early HR+/HER2-breast cancer based on molecular detection

Adjuvant radiotherapy is the standard treatment for early breast cancer after breast conserving surgery. Molecular subtypes was significantly associated with the risk of local recurrence of breast cancer. Nguyen et al found that the overall 5-year cumulative incidence of local recurrence was 0.8% for luminal A, 1.5% for luminal B, 8.4% for HER2 positive, and 7.1% for triple negative breast cancer after lumpectomy and radiotherapy. Her2 positive and triple negative breast cancers may be inherently radioresistant. Therefore, for HER2 positive and triple negative breast cancer with high local recurrence and radiation resistance, proton combined with carbon ion is proposed after breast conserving surgery.

This is a phase II study to investigate the feasibility of Ultra-hypofractionated radiotherapy with or without simultaneous integrated boost for low risk breast cancer patients who have received breast conservative surgery of mastectomy.

Breast-conserving surgery followed by re-irradiation with partial breast irradiation (rPBI) has recently been found to be a safe alternative to mastectomy for women who have undergone prior whole breast radiation. By reducing the volume of tissue receiving radiation, rPBI has been associated with less toxicity and improved cosmetic outcomes. For many women with early stage breast cancer, shorter 1-week (5-fraction) courses of breast radiation (ultra-fractionation) have been found to be equivalent to longer fractionation schedules in the upfront treatment setting. These 1-week schedules are more convenient for patients, with fewer treatments and shorter overall treatment time. The investigators hypothesize that they can accrue sufficient patient with rPBI who will be treated using 26 Gray(Gy) in 5 daily fractions over 1-week. Planned interim analysis after the 15 recruited patients for early toxicity evaluation with stopping rule for unacceptable toxicity.

Due to a risk of heart failure during HER2 directed therapy in breast cancer, treatment is monitored with imaging of myocardial function, which is resource demanding for both patients and the health care system. The purpose of this study is to evaluate, if biomarkers can replace imaging based examinations of myocardial function during HER2 directed therapy.

The purpose of this study to test an alternative treatment approach that involves giving participants radiotherapy before their mastectomy (preoperative radiotherapy) and performing immediate reconstruction surgery at the time of mastectomy. The immediate reconstruction surgery is called an immediate autologous reconstruction (IR) and is different than the standard reconstruction surgery people with T4 breast cancer have. IR is a surgical procedure where immediately following your mastectomy, the surgeon takes tissue from another part of your body and uses it to re-create your breast. The standard reconstruction surgery occurs later and can be done with an implant or tissue from your body. The main purpose of this study to find out if the alternative treatment approach shown above is feasible. The study will see how safe this alternative treatment approach is compared with the standard treatment approach.

The use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer is expanding in the recent decade. Patients with good response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy could benefit from de-escalation of breast and axilla operation. However, breast tumor and involved axillary lymph node should be marked before the commencement of chemotherapy. This could facilitate subsequent operative planning and intraoperative assessment of disease response. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of magnetic marker localization for non-palpable breast cancer and targeted axillary dissection in patients with node-positive breast cancer following neoadjuvant therapy

This study will quantify the muscle function after breast reconstruction using a minimally invasive latissimus dorsi flap. The proposed measures (clinical, isokinetic, electrophysiology, function and quality of life questionnaires) allow a precise, multidisciplinary, objective evaluation of the capacity of the latissimus dorsi muscle before surgery, 3 months and 6 months after surgery. A function deficit is expected (decreased moment of adduction and internal rotation) 3 months after surgery and a return to the preoperative state 6 months after surgery.

This study will examine the outcomes of lumpectomy, surgery to remove a tumor, without sentinel node biopsy (SNB) for women at least 65 years of age with clinically node-negative breast cancer. Clinically node-negative means that during a physical exam your doctor cannot feel or see that any lymph nodes near the breast area are swollen and there is also no imaging evidence, such as from a mammogram, of nodal involvement.

The investigatorsconduct the precise sentinel lymph node biopsy using preoperative computed tomographic lymphography in breast cancer. The investigators aimed to summarize the law of lymphatic drainage of breast, and to conduct the accurate surgical treatment of breast cancer.
