Although surgical resection is the gold standard for early breast cancer treatment, some patients cannot tolerate surgery due to medical conditions or refuse surgical treatment for cosmetic reasons. In recent years, the rapid development of ablation technology has provided new directions for breast cancer patients who are not suitable for …
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate radiation therapy (RT) completion rates among underrepresented cancer populations using qualitative measurements. Additionally, the study aims to assess the impact of patient navigators on supporting patients through their radiation care, as well as their influence on adherence to standard of care …
The goals of this study is to establish the prevalence of severe forms of FCR in the oncology hospital setting, which will require a specific psychotherapeutic response. Two cancer sites are targeted: breast and pulmonary cancers. Secondary objectives include: 1) Determining threshold scores for the FCRI's 9-item severity scale for …
The goal of the study is to investigate whether treating insomnia using app-based cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) can improve cognitive impairment in breast cancer survivors compared to an active control group (sleep hygiene education). The study will also explore if CBT-I is associated with changes in the brain …
The purpose of this study is to understand the safety and estimate the efficacy of anti-CD3 x anti-HER2 bispecific antibody (HER2Bi) armed fresh peripheral blood mononuclear cells (HER2 FPBMC) for patients with metastatic breast or prostate cancer. Participants receive 5 weekly doses of CD33 FPBMC by intravenous infusion followed by …
This is a double-blinded randomized controlled clinical trial that aims to study if desloratadine can reduce rates of peripheral neuropathy development in patients with breast cancer receiving taxane chemotherapy. Researchers will compare desloratadine to a placebo (look-alike substance with no drug) and use validated neurotoxicity and quality of life questionnaires …
Breast cancer survivors (BCS) often face unique challenges during and after treatment, including the onset of menopause-related symptoms. Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) is a common concern in BCS undergoing endocrine therapy (ET). It is a chronic condition caused by estrogen deficiency, leading to vaginal and urinary symptoms such as …
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the implementation of existing neurosurgical techniques of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) and the replacement of monopolar electrocautery with bipolar electrocautery (BE), during ALND, will improve the early identification of nerves that have been implicated in the cause of neuropathically-mediated post-surgical pain syndrome …
The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of adjuvant chemoradiation therapy in high-risk breast cancer patients who had received neoadjuvant chemotherapy before their lumpectomy and/or mastectomy and were found to have residual disease. As well as examine the effects of this treatment combination on the …
This purpose of this study is to examine skin reactions (called radiation dermatitis) that occur during pencil beam scanning (PBS) proton therapy. The researchers will test a unique technique called "Spot Delete" to see if it can reduce skin reactions for breast patients treated with PBS. They will also use …
