Organoids Based Drug Sensitivity in Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy of Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide. Patients with breast cancer are often diagnosed at later stages and have a strong desire for breast conservation, necessitating neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Tumors of different molecular subtypes and individual variations among patients lead to significant differences in treatment efficacy. Precise assessment …
An Integrated Algorithm for Surgical Intervention in Chronic Lymphedema After Breast Cancer Treatment: The Basel Lymphedema Protocol
The primary objective of the investigators is to develop an integrated algorithm for surgical treatment of chronic lymphedema after breast cancer surgery. This will be achieved by retrospectively analysing a subgroup of patients who had breast cancer-related surgery prior to lymphedema.
An Investigation Into Dielectric Assessment of Permittivity and Conductivity in Human Using a Novel Electrical Capacitance Tomography Scanner
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the ability of a the Z-scanner to identify and differentiate cancer and benign lesions from healthy breast tissue based on permittivity. The main questions it aims to answer are: Determine the permittivity values of the Z-scanner associated with healthy, benign, and …
Fast and Accurate Breast Cancer Diagnosis Using Nanopore Sequencing in Tanzania (Fast-ABCD Sequencing)
This pilot study will test the feasibility of using nanopore sequencing for breast cancer diagnosis in Tanzania. It aims to show that nanopore sequencing is non-inferior to the current standard of care, with the potential for faster and more cost-efficient results. By enhancing the speed and accuracy of diagnosis, this …
Optimizing Postoperative Recovery After Breast Reconstruction With Autologous Tissue (BestDIEP)
Women who have their breast reconstructed with autologous tissue seem to be more satisfied with their breast. However, autologous breast reconstruction entails a bigger operation, and the usage of more health care resources, than some other methods, such as implant-based techniques. The main objectives of the present study are to …
Validation of Scales in Reconstructive Breast Surgery
The main purpose of the project is to validate patient reported outcomes measures (PROMs) in reconstructive breast surgery. BREAST-Q will be evaluated for Swedish and Sweden.Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), EuroQol 5D (EQ5D), and SF-36 will be validated for reconstructive breast surgery. In addition, the complication classification system according …
Development of Patient Derived Xenografts (PDX) in Patients With Breast Cancer
Breast cancer patients who undergo neoadjuvant systemic therapy and have residual breast cancer identified at the time of surgery exhibit a high (>50%) risk of future life-threatening recurrences and death.
Safety of Omitting Axillary Surgery in Breast Cancer Patients With Isolated Chest Wall Recurrence
The axillary management of breast cancer patients with operable isolated chest wall recurrence after mastectomy is unclear. We aim to determine if axillary restaging surgery can be safely omitted with no increased recurrences in this group of patients.
Breast: Recovery After Axillary Node Clearance - Evaluating Limbs With E-Technology (the BRACELET Study)
This work aims to use wearable sensors to record the return towards normal physical activity after breast surgery. It will build on current evidence by using objective measures of activity and arm movements rather than patient reports.
Feasibility Study to Evaluate the Use of Patient Reported Complications After Digital Consent
Patient report complication data to our best knowledge has not been studied yet in electronic consent. This study is a feasibility study to assess whether patients will reliably report their complications, the quality of this reporting and whether the information provided in the consent form matches up to their experience. …
