Abstract:

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer diagnosed among women in the United States, and the second cause of female cancer-related death, with approximately 40,000 deaths annually. Aldo-keto reductase 1B10 (AKR1B10) is a 35-kDa protein that is highly expressed in breast cancer in infiltrative and Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS) stages. Recent studies have demonstrated that AKR1B10 promotes breast cancer cell adhesion and invasion through the expression of integrin α5 and δ-catenin. Human epidermal growth factor receptor2 (HER2) is a tyrosine kinase receptor which is over expressed in ov

Abstract:

Magister Artium - MA<br>Breast cancer is a common cause of death among women worldwide. It has long been recognized as a major public health burden in high-income countries, however, the majority of cases are said to occur in low and middle-income countries, such as in South Africa. A breast cancer diagnosis and treatment heralds a series of frightening events and can be a traumatic experience. The manner in which women perceive and cope with their illness is predictive of emotional and physical health outcomes. It is thus imperative to explore the experiences of South African women, whose voi

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to develop a decision model for early-stage breast cancer patients. This model provides an opportunity for comparing two main treatment options, mastectomy and lumpectomy, with respect to quality of life by making use of Decision Theoretic Techniques. A Markov chain was constructed to project the clinical history of breast carcinoma following surgery. Then, health states used in the model were characterized by transition probabilities and utilities for quality of life. A Multi Attribute Utility Model was developed for outcome evaluation.

Abstract:

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States with over 60% of cases diagnosed as early stage disease. For those women without prohibiting clinical or cosmetic concerns, a choice between breast-conserving surgery and mastectomy can be made. Either choice confers equivalent survival. The decision-making process also involves consideration of recurrence risk as well as management of the unaffected, contralateral breast for both future surveillance and risk reduction. In recent years, increasing rates of mastectomy with contralateral prophylactic mastectomy have been re

Comparable effectiveness of breast conserving therapy (BCT) with mastectomy for early stage breast cancer has now been demonstrated (Early Breast Trialists' Collaborative Group, 1995).

However, studies comparing the psychosocial outcome of BCT with mastectomy have failed to demonstrate any evidence of substantial benefit for BCT in relation to aspects of quality of life other than body image, with levels of psychological distress as frequent for patients in b

Abstract:

Women with a history of breast cancer face an increased risk of developing cancer in the future. Risk of the initial cancer spreading to other parts of the body such as the brain, liver, bones or lung (referred to as metastatic or secondary breast cancer) poses the greatest risk to women as metastases are considered ‘incurable’ with treatment aiming to manage symptoms rather than cure disease. Risk of developing a new breast cancer in the (initially) unaffected breast (referred to as ‘contralateral breast cancer’; CBC) is low for most women with early stage breast cancer and unlike metastatic

Abstract:

Breast cancer is the commonest cancer affecting Canadian women. Recent decades have seen a trend of decreasing breast cancer mortality. This has been attributed to several causes, including greater use of screening mammography and increased efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy. We studied the effect of these two factors on the overall survival of breast cancer patients at the Ottawa Hospital Regional Cancer Centre. Data were collected from 2985 charts from the years 1985, 1988, 1992, 1995, 1998, and 2001. Adjuvant chemotherapy was associated with a decreased hazard of death from any cause (HR=0.7

This study evaluates if the use of Oncotype DX® impacts chemotherapy prescribing in ESBC.

碩士<br>國立陽明大學<br>臨床護理研究所<br>105<br>Objective: After being diagnosed with early breast cancer, women need to make a surgical decision, such as mastectomy, breast conserving surgery (BCS), or breast reconstruction for breast cancer treatment. This decision may give these women psychological distress. The result of surgery affects their body image and causes regret. Through the advancement of Internet technology, the study aims to explore whether a surgery decision support website developed by the research team can effectively improve women’s body image and reduce their feelings of regret.

This study was a longitudinal pre/post test quasi-experimental research design. Thirty-six women with breast cancer, who had received breast surgery, were randomly assigned to a control group, a treatment group that received education, or a treatment group that received education and relaxation training. These breast cancer patients were recruited using purposive sampling from the gener

Abstract:

Differently from invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) of the breast, pathological and molecular factors that guide the prognosis of invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) are not completely known. In this regard, the prognostic and/or predictive impact of potential drivers needs to be elucidated, in order to create a global portrait for ILC patients. Among these factors, the role of proliferation, commonly evaluated by the Ki67 antigen, represents a relevant aspect in the choice of adjuvant treatment for breast cancer, in particular in the luminal setting. This retrospective multicentric analysis, includ

Abstract:

Seven women (54.1 ± 5.2 yrs) diagnosed with Stage I or H breast cancer who were treated with surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy served as subjects in a prospective investigation evaluating functional capacity and psychological well-being before, during, and after therapy. Physical measurements included height, body mass and sum of five skinfolds. Measures of spirometry (FVC, FEV₁, FEF[sub 25%-75%], FEV₁/FVC, MVV) and single breath diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide (DL[sub co], VA, DL[sub co]/VA) were recorded using a Collins DS I System (Warren E. Collins). To determine maximal oxygen cons

Abstract:

Objective: To complete a cost-minimization analysis (CMA) of the cost of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) and axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) in the management of early-stage breast cancer (ESBC) in a hypothetical Ontario hospital setting. Methods: Decision-analysis modeling, with a decision-tree and Markov states, was used to estimate hospital costs for the two treatment options. The model was populated with data from the literature and costs from the Ontario Case Costing Initiative, a publicly accessible, government-sponsored, costing database.

碩士<br>中臺科技大學<br>護理研究所<br>99<br>Breast cancer for women comes first in the incidence of cancers. The depression state felt by the breast cancer patients comes third when compared to all of the other cancer patients. Depression causes a decrease in the willingness of an individual to participate in the medical care, increases the length of stay in a hospital, increases health care costs, decreases the ability of one to look after oneself, deteriorates the course of a disease, decreases quality of life and survival rate as well. The aim of this research is to investigate the women population for
