Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

Background : Breast cancer is a disease that occurs primarily in elderly women: 54057 of breast cancer occurred on women in 2008, 15.2% were between 75 and 84 years and 5.4% were over 85 years. Elderly women cancers care exposes to several problems: the opportunity for screening, knowing that mammography is not recommended after 75 years old, and the level of treatment depending on the background and the existence of weaknesses. It should determine whether patients are in adequate physiological condition to tolerate classical and "complete" treatment or conversely in a precarious state with advanced fragility, justifying only lightened and adapted symptomatic treatment. Purpose : The purpose of this research theme is to assess the quality of life of elderly patients who underwent mastectomy for breast cancer. The objectives are: Assess the determinants of acceptance and / or rejection of mastectomy based on personal background (level of fragility, self-image) and linked to cancer Assess the quality of life, 6 months later, of women who underwent or not mastectomy, and appreciate the determinants Abstract : The total mastectomy allow, oncologically, a more valid treatment than a lumpectomy, in many cases of women suffering from a breast cancer, but its relevance and acceptability are poorly known. Some think that an elderly woman, postmenopausal, is less concerned with her aesthetics and feminine attributes, which would allow her to accept easily the mastectomy. The research hypothesis is that the acceptability of mastectomy is not good in elderly women

observational monocentric study

Three-dimensional (3D) + two-dimensional (2D)- mammography may have particular value for minority, rural, and underserved women in New Mexico by decreasing recall rates and improving diagnostic sensitivity, thus alleviating some of the unique burdens associated with breast cancer screening in the multi-ethnic and underserved New Mexico patient population. Primary objective: To compare recall rates using 3D + 2D- vs. 2D- mammogram in New Mexico women undergoing screening mammogram between 2013 and 2016. Secondary objectives: Evaluate knowledge, attitudes, perceived barriers, intentions, decisional influences, and other psychosocial/cultural factors influencing breast cancer screening among medically underserved patients and assess what impact 3D + 2D-mammography might have on those perceptions; Determine primary care providers' knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and preferences regarding 3D + 2D- vs. 2D- mammography; evaluate breast cancer detection rate and biopsy positive predictive value for screening mammograms using 3D + 2D- vs. 2D using PENRAD data; evaluate screening outcome, compliance with recall recommendations, breast cancer detection rate, positive predictive value, and demographics of interest in New Mexico women undergoing screening and offered 3-D mammography (retrospective chart review).

Persistent postoperative pain occurs up to 25 to 60 % after mastectomy. This occurs at a higher frequency than the rate of invasive surgery.Therefore, many ways have been tried to study risk factors. A study was conducted to predict postoperative pain for items (preoperative pain, sensitivity, pain prediction). As a result, it was reported that the scope of surgery, pre-operative pain, young age, and depression were associated with persistent pain. This study try to find out whether persistent pain after mastectomy is affected anesthetic factors appropriate anesthesia depth and opioid using standardized monitoring devices limited to similar surgical ranges.

Interpretation of breast MR images is a very time-consuming process and places a great burden on breast radiologists. This project aims to develop a technical solution that addresses this healthcare challenge by developing a system that is able to automatically interpret breast MR images in order to aid the radiologist in their diagnosis.

As the most common cancer expected to occur all over the world, breast cancer still faces with the unsatisfied diagnostic accuracy in US imaging. S-detect is a sophisticated CAD system for breast US imaging based on deep learning algorithms. E-breast is a software installed in US machines which automatically reveals tumor elastographic features. This multi-center study intends to further validate the diagnostic efficiency of S-detect and E-breast in opportunistic breast cancer screening populations in China. Our hypothesis is that S-detect and E-breast can increase the diagnostic accuracy and specificity as compared to routinely US examinations by doctors.

The purpose of the study was to analyze the psychological and emotional determinants of domestic dissemination of information about genetic risk of cancer and to compare the level of diffusion syndromes in breast/ ovarian cancer ( BRCA1 / BRCA2) and colon/endometrial ( HNPCC )

This pilot trial studies how well a stress test works in detecting heart damage in premenopausal women with stage I-III breast cancer. Giving a stress test with adenosine or regadenoson and cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging may help doctors detect heart damage caused by breast cancer treatments including chemotherapy and aromatase inhibitors.

The purpose of this pilot is to provide credible performance estimate information in order to conduct a subsequent pivotal reader study.

This study will examine how ctDNA and additional prognostic genomic information in patients with early stage breast cancer might influences patient decision- making regarding systemic therapy options.
