Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. It accounts for more than 1/3 of new cancer cases and is the 1st cause of death for women.
Management usually includes tumorectomy or mastectomy precede or not by a chemotherapy, then adjuvant irradiation that can be supplemented with adjuvant
- Study aim: Radiation dermatitis (RD) is observed in more than 90% of breast cancer patients who receive the radiation therapy (RT). In spite of the high number of studies in this area, there is limited high-quality and comparative research that presents definitive findings suggesting the
Introduction
Vitamin D deficiency remains a global public health issue (Wilson 2017). There is strong epidemiological evidence linking low vitamin D status with diabetes, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and some cancers (NatCen 2018). The condition has a significant financial
Breast cancer patients undergoing adjuvant radiotherapy commonly experience radiation-induced skin toxicities which adversely impact patients' quality of life. These skin toxicities may present in the form of acute reactions including erythema, pruritus or moist desquamation and late toxicities in
Clinical Phase II trial to determine if Mepitel Film® is a viable prophylactic option for high-risk women undergoing radiotherapy for breast cancer to reduce side effects of radiation on the skin.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of use of Mepitel Film® in the prevention of
Background
Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women and in Sweden about 9700 women are affected each year.Therefore, it is of great importance to promote the rehabilitation process by minimizing unnecessary symptoms and complications that may arise during a breast cancer treatment.
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality among females. Sentinel lymph node biopsy helps avoid axillary lymph node dissection and the associated morbidity. However, its utility is unclear in patients with biopsy proven axillary disease that has been treated with neoadjuvant
Breast cancer is the second most frequent cancer worldwide, and the most frequent in France. Principal therapy consists in radiotherapy, that is locoregional, using radiations to kill cancerous cells.
Radiotherapy has sides effects as radiodermatitis, concerning about 90 percent of women treated.
In early-stage breast cancer the cornerstone of treatment is surgery. There are 2 possibilities: either mastectomy (ME, the whole breast, including the tumour, is removed) or breast-conserving surgery (BCS, only the tumour is removed, along with a part of the surrounding healthy tissue). After
Adjuvant radiotherapy after breast conserving surgery for breast cancer reduces the locoregional recurrence rate and improves overall survival. In recent years, it has become clear that breast cancer cells are more sensitive to fraction dose than originally presumed. Large randomized trials confirm
Aim To study the dose to the target and OARs with SIB-IMRT in patients with breast cancer.
Objectives: To study
1. Dose distribution, target coverage and dose homogeneity in the diseased breast.
2. Dose to the OARs.
3. Acute toxicities.
4. Cosmetic outcome. Materials and methods Patients: Total 27
Patients identified by the nursing team with seroma and with indication of aspiration puncture, will be evaluated for eligibility criteria. Those who agree to participate in the study will be assessed and submitted to the intervention on the same day, they will remain with four days approximately
Protocol Title: Focal Breast Pain: Does a normal ultrasound provide reassurance?
Purpose of the Study: The investigator hypothesizes that a benign directed ultrasound, when performed after a normal digital mammogram, will provide women with focal breast pain additional reassurance that the etiology
For patients randomized in the mepitel arm:
Mepitel film will be placed on the patients' skin just before the start of the radiotherapy and will be replaced once a week until the end of the radiotherapy. In case of skin toxicities mepitel film will be placed until resolution of the toxicities. In
Background:
Thyroid nodules are very common worldwide. In an iodine-replete population like Hong Kong, the estimated prevalence of a clinically palpable thyroid nodule, is close to 5% while the prevalence of ultrasonically detectable nodules could be up to 67%. With the frequent use of computed
