This clinical trial evaluates remotely delivered, community-aligned weight loss interventions in Latina breast cancer survivors. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among women in the US. There are population differences in breast cancer mortality, based on specific risk factors, including obesity. Cancer is the leading cause …
The primary goal of the DEFINITIVE trial is to demonstrate the effectiveness of the HER2DX diagnostic assay in enhancing the management of patients with early-stage HER2- positive breast cancer. Patients randomized to arm A will receive adjuvant treatment by physician´s choice, blinded to the diagnostic HER2DX test results. Patients randomized …
Few data about the impact of emotional distress (ED) on treatment efficacy in patients with metastatic breast cancer (mBC) are available. Aim of this study is to assess the outcomes of patients with mBC receiving first-line treatment according to the presence of baseline ED.
The purpose of this observational study is to learn about the HER2 heterogeneity and its impact on benefit from trastuzumab deruxtecan in metastatic breast cancer. The main question it aims to answer is: \- Does the heterogeneity of HER2 expression level and spatial distribution in different tissues affect the efficacy …
DNA methylation changes occur early and broadly during carcinogenesis. Methylscape is a rapid assay that detects global DNA methylation patterns in body fluids (blood, urine, and saliva) and may detect a cancer signal and predict the cancer signal origin (CSO) from a single fluid sample, using the differential interaction between …
ADAPT-HER2-IV will address question of optimal neoadjuvant therapy in patients with less advanced -HER2+ EBC. ADAPT-HER2-IV is planned as a superiority trial to demonstrate higher pCR rates in both clinically relevant subgroups of low-intermediate risk HER2+ EBC. Moreover, it aims to demonstrate excellent survival in patients treated by T-DXd (with …
Chemotherapy combined with trastuzumab and patuzumab is the standard neoadjuvant therapy for HER2 positive breast cancer patients. The survival rate of patients with pathological complete response (PCR) after neoadjuvant therapy was significantly better than that of patients with tumor residue, that is, non-PCR. Therefore, studies have confirmed that adjuvant therapy …
Breast cancer is the most common cancer that spreads beyond the initial layer of tissue it developed in, and grows into surrounding healthy tissue in women worldwide. It is associated with significant illness and death. Identifying the disease in the early stage is important to achieving positive outcomes in response …
This study investigates the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on out-of-pocket costs, lost wages, and unemployment in patients with breast cancer undergoing breast surgery. Post-mastectomy reconstructive patients are at high risk for financial toxicity (adverse effects of escalating health care cost on well-being). The goal of this study is to collect …
Substantial progress has been made in the treatment of cancer through the use of targeted therapies, but what works for one patient might not work for another patient. Certain drugs are now being developed that target specific molecules in the body that are believed to be part of the disease. …
