Background: The presence of cancer in the axillary lymph nodes on needle biopsy in patients with early stage breast cancer before neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) has been the determinant of the need for axillary treatment (in the form of axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) or axillary radiotherapy
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate preliminary efficacy of lorcaserin to improve balance decrements in patients with chronic chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate patient reported outcomes (PROs) after a one time dose of lorcaserin in patients with
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of nilotinib hydrochloride monohydrate (nilotinib) in combination with paclitaxel. (Phase Ib) II. To determine the toxicity profile (based on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [CTCAE] version [v.] 5.0) of nilotinib
Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is an adverse event of numerous chemotherapy agents commonly used, including taxanes (paclitaxel, docetaxel) and platinum-based treatments (oxaliplatine, cisplatine, carboplatine).
Taxanes are widely used in breast cancer. Docetaxel and paclitaxel became indispensable
Peripheral neuropathies are a dose-limiting, disabling, and debilitating side effect of virtually every known class of chemotherapeutic agent, and are referred to as chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathies (CIPN) (Seretny et al., 2014). The incidence and severity of CIPN increase as the
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To obtain preliminary evidence of the clinical effects of acupuncture compared to usual care on the change in sensory neuropathic pain as measured by the European Organization of Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ)-Chemotherapy-Induced
The investigators will conduct a randomized clinical trial (RCT) at the S. Anna University Hospital of Ferrara (Italy) on consecutive patients undergoing SLNB for breast cancer and subsequent ALND in case of SLN metastases. Eligible patients for radioguided sentinel lymph node biopsy (rSLNB) will be
Therapy with chemotherapeutic drugs can make a huge impact on survival and quality of life in patients with cancer. Advances in medical monitoring and the effectiveness of these therapies have significantly improved outcomes so that a definitive cure or long-term survival is more likely. Cancer
Adjuvant chemotherapy with fluoropyrimidines and Oxaliplatin is the current worldwide standard of care for stage III colorectal cancer (CRC). This regimen leads to significant cost, toxicity, and patient inconvenience. Oxaliplatin induces two distinct forms of neuropathy: a common acute syndrome
STUDY OUTLINE: This is a single institution study. Patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer stages I to III with any biomarker status (ER, PR and HER), without preexisting peripheral neuropathy planning to receive treatment with platinum-based compounds (Carboplatin and Cisplatin) and/or taxanes
Paclitaxel is a key chemotherapeutic agent used in the management of common cancers, such as breast cancer. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) due to paclitaxel is a common dose-limiting toxicity with no effective prevention or treatment. Limb cryocompression is currently being
