Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

Even decade ago it was believed that the choice method of anesthesia did not affect the course of the oncological process, but recent evidence has begun to emerge that inhalation anesthesia vs TIVA is associated with a higher number of adverse outcomes. Apparently, it makes sense to conduct mRCT in order to assess the effect of IA on immune system in patients operated on for breast cancer comprehensively. The results of that kind of RCT may finally give us an answer whether the choice of anesthesia affects the immune status of patients undergoing surgery for breast cancer. The evaluation of complications and long-term survival will allow to recommend to use or not to use IA for this type of surgery. Objective: The Impact of Inhalation vs Total Intravenous Anesthesia on the Immune Status and Mortality in Patients Undergoing Breast Cancer Surgery

Breast cancer (BC) is one of most prevalent malignant tumors in the world. According to the 2020 edition of the global cancer statistics report, the incidence rate of BC has overtaken lung cancer to become the most commonly diagnosed cancer. In the past three decades, survival of patients with primary BC have been notably improved, mainly due to early detection of the disease and advances in adjuvant treatments such as endocrine therapy, chemotherapy, and anti-HER2 therapy. Patients with HR-positive and HER2-negative primary BC account for approximately 70% of all cases of early breast cancer. Endocrine therapy is the core treatment for this subtype of BC. Tamoxifen, aromatase inhibitor or their sequential administration can reduce the recurrence and mortality of this BC subtype. The results of TEXT/SOFT study showed that, compared with the traditional 5-year tamoxifen treatment, tamoxifen + OFS or aromatase inhibitor + OFS can further improve the survival of HR+/HER2- breast cancer patients. However, for premenopausal BC patients with HR+/HER2-, only 82.5% (tamoxifen plus OFS) and 85.7% (aromatase inhibitor plus OFS) of 5-year DFS were achieved. For postmenopausal BC patients, the 5-year DFS was only about 84% with aromatase inhibitors. Therefore, the survival of HR+/ HER2- BC patients needs to be further improved. Metronomic chemotherapy refers to the use of the minimum effective dose of chemotherapy drugs for long-term, uninterrupted administration to achieve anti-tumor effect. Metronomic chemotherapy has gradually been verified in clinical practice in the past 20 years. In 2020, SYSUCC-001 study has confirmed that capecitabine (650 mg/ m2 bid, for 1 years) can reduce the risk of 5-year DFS events by 36% in TNBC patients in addition to standard treatment. Besides, POTENT study has confirmed that the combination of endocrine therapy and S-1 (for one year) can further reduce the risk of iDFS by 37% in HR+/HER2- BC patients who have completed the standard treatment. Compared with capecitabine, S-1 has no indication for BC and it is not in the recommendation for BC treatment in the guidelines. Therefore, the investigators conduct this study to explore whether adjuvant Capecitabine metronomic chemotherapy for one year can further improve the survival of BC patients with HR+/ HER2- in addition to standard treatment.

Mechanistic data show that compounds in fruits and vegetables have anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic properties that can reduce breast cancer risk. However, observational and interventional studies have provided mixed results, and a recent report by the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) concludes that the data are insufficient but suggestive that non-starchy vegetables and foods containing carotenoids reduce risk. Measurement error, relatively low levels of carotenoid-rich fruit and vegetable intake in the study populations, emphasis on diet in later adulthood, and confounding factors likely contribute to the weak associations. Therefore, the investigators will conduct a randomized diet intervention trial in young women to assess the extent to which at least 8 to 10 daily servings of deeply pigmented and nutrient dense fruits and vegetables reduces biomarkers of breast cancer risk. The intervention is focused on breastfeeding women because: 1) pregnancy and lactation are normal early life course events; 2) the risk of pregnancy-associated breast cancer (PABC) is increased for up to 10 years postpartum; 3) a dietary intervention to reverse the detrimental molecular changes associated with puberty and pregnancy is more likely to be successful in younger than in older women;4) a diet rich in fruits and vegetables is hypothesized to reduce the inflammation during lactation/weaning and lower PABC risk; 5) postpartum lactating women may be a highly motivated population; and 6) breastmilk provides access to the breast microenvironment and breast epithelial cells to non-invasively assess the diet intervention directly in the breast. Four hundred nursing mothers will be randomly assigned to either the intervention arm, in which they are asked to increase fruit and vegetable intake to at least 8 to 10 daily servings for one year, or to a control condition in which participants receive a dietary guideline for breastfeeding mothers. Women in the intervention arm will receive counseling and boxes of fruits and vegetables for the first 20 weeks, after which they will continue to receive counseling. Changes in DNA methylation and cytokine profiles in breastmilk will be evaluated. Maternal weight and body fat distribution, and infant growth will be monitored. These results will greatly expand our knowledge of how diet alters molecular pathways in a specific organ, ultimately contributing to both breast cancer etiology and prevention.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of 89Zr-labeled girentuximab (89Zr-TLX250) as a novel, carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) targeted PET/CT tracer for the imaging of metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients.

There are continued disparities in cancer incidence, mortality, and survival between American Indians (AIs) and Whites on cancers responsive to early screening (i.e., breast, colorectal, and cervical) in the US. In New Mexico (NM), AIs compared with other racial/ethnic populations are significantly less likely to adhere to recommended screening guidelines. The purpose of this trial is to develop and pilot test multilevel/multicomponent intervention strategies to enhance screening for breast, colorectal, and cervical cancers.

The present randomized controlled trial has the main objective to study the effects of a videoconferenced occupational therapy program in preventing cancer and chemotherapy-related cognitive impairment and other health outcomes, as well as in improving quality of live and occupational performance of women undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer.

MoviS is a randomized controlled trial on the effect of aerobic exercise training on quality of life (QoL) among breast cancer (BC) survivors. Patients randomized to the intervention arm will receive lifestyle recommendations (nutrition and exercise) and will undergo the MoviS Training program, whereas control arm patients will receive lifestyle recommendations. The MoviS Training program consists of 3 months, 3 times per week, aerobic exercise, which will be supervised both directly (2 days each week) and remotely (1 day each week). Exercise intensity (40% to 70% of heart rate reserve) and duration (20 to 60 mins) will be gradually increased throughout the training period. Both arms will receive counseling on psychological well-being. The primary outcome is the improvement of QoL. The secondary outcome is the improvement of the health-related parameters. Study variables will be sampled and compared between and within groups at the baseline, after the 3 month intervention period, ad interim in the short term (6 months) and long term (12 and 24 months).

This is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel, active-controlled superiority clinical study conducted in early premenopausal estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer patients with CYP2D6*10 mutations. The efficacy and safety of Exemestane Tablets combined with ovarian function suppression/ablation and Tamoxifen Tablets combined with ovarian function suppression/ablation in the treatment of early premenopausal estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer patients with CYP2D6*10 mutations are compared.

This randomized clinical trial studies how well online genetics educational video with or without pre- and/or post-telephone genetics counseling works in assessing cancer-risk distress in patients with triple negative breast cancer. Online genetic education and telephone genetic counseling may help the doctors learn the stress a person feels about their risk of cancer.

The CARTIER study is a randomized, multicenter, open-label clinical trial comparing, in elderly patients with cancer under anti-tumoral treatment, two different cardiotoxicity prevention strategies: primary (intensive cardiovascular monitoring focused on prevention and early diagnosis and treatment of cardiotoxicity based in cardio-onco-hematology teams involved in cancer patient care) vs. secondary (current clinical practice where intensive cardiovascular monitoring is not routinely performed and cardiotoxicity patient care is based on the onco-hematologist criteria). The primary endpoint is to determine whether this primary prevention englobing cardiovascular monitoring plus intensive multidisciplinary management is superior to the current clinical practice in reducing all cause mortality. Other secondary objectives of the study are to analyze the impact of this intensive cardiovascular monitoring strategy on the incidence of cardiovascular mortality, oncological mortality, hospitalization and/or urgent care due to cardiovascular complications, hospitalization and/or urgent oncological care due to cancer complications, tumor progression and cost-effectiveness analysis. A total of 514 patients ≥ 65 years old diagnosed with any of the following onco-hematological cancers, colon, breast, lymphoma, chronic lymphoma leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia or myeloma, undergoing standardized anti-tumoral treatment, will be recruited. The incidence of primary and secondary outcomes will be measured at 2 and 5 years
