In our previous studies using optical spectroscopy, both ex vivo and in vivo, most promising results were obtained for tissue diagnosis. Moreover, invasive procedures for biopsy or radiofrequency ablation in these tissues are all very common. Thus,…
To establish biomarkers in nipple aspirate fluid, follow them in time and link them to breast cancer development at its earliest stage in women at high risk for breast cancer. Threshold values of biomarkers will be determined that point to a…
The principal objective of the study is to determine if the performance of the new technique (magnetic tracer and magnetometer) is equivalent to the performance of the standard technique (patent blue dye and radioisotope, wire localization).The…
(1) to measure the forces resulting from typical mammographic compressions by decomposing them into a component exercised on the breast and a component exercised on adjacent body structures, (2) to determine how the proportion of these two…
The primary objective of the study is to gain insight in the short term and long term effects of the EFCT-ODA therapy on 1) dyadic coping abilities in the relationship and 2) relational satisfaction. Moreover, the process aspects of the ODA will be…
To test the feasibility of breast MR elastography and explore the viscoelastic parameters of (1) normal breast tissue, of (2) breast tumours and of (3) scar tissue in the breast after lumpectomy.
Investigate the association between BRCA1/2-mutations, DNA damage, apoptosis and oocyte/embryo quality in immature germinal vesicle (GV) bearing oocytes, immature metaphase 1 (MI) and unfertilized mature metaphase 2 (MII) oocytes and affected early-…
In breast-conserving surgery, there is evidence that approximately 30% of women receive a suboptimal or poor aesthetic outcome; however there is currently no standardised method of identifying these women.The PICTURE project aims to address these…
Primary goal: determine the diagnostic quality of CE-MRI scans acquired in supine positionSecundary goal: determine the accuracy of deformable image registration between prone CE-MRI and non-CE-MRI in supine position as an alternative option
The PICTURE project aims to address these issues by providing objective tools, tailored to the individual patient, to predict the aesthetic outcome of local treatment. Using a combination of 3D photography and routinely acquired radiological images…
Primary Objective: Examining the value of ABVS in relation to current breast imaging techniques by: - comparison of ABVS findings with MRI findings. - comparison of ABVS findings with mammography and hand-held US. Secondary Objectives: - assessment…
Primary: To evaluate the effect of a dose increase to 40mg tamoxifen QD for 4 weeks in patients with at least one CYP2D6 variant allele and/or the presence of a CYP2D6 inhibitorSecondary:To evaluate the effect of concomitant use of (potential)…
The aim of the research up till now was, during a number of months, to examine a total of 500 participants referred for mammography to the AMC. The different parameters which are relevant to compression were measured. Particularly the influence of…
The main objective of this feasibility study is to assess the treatment accuracy of MR-HIFU in patients with breast cancer using a dedicated MR-HIFU breast system. A secondary objective is to determine the safety.
Aim of this study is to confirm the results from ex vivo research in humans in a clinical setting. The objective is to perform optical spectroscopy measurements during surgical procedures in vivo, involving resection of either breast, liver or lung…
Primary objective:To establish the accuracy of pretreatment 7T MRI to identify low-risk breast cancers. This will be done by identifying preoperative imaging-based characteristics related to risk factors of cancer relapse in the resection specimens…
Our primary objective is to determine the effect of breast reconstruction on the risk of developing lymphedema. Secondarily, we will look at lymphedema and the correlation with 1) primary and secondary breast reconstruction, 2) the extent of…
Primary:Dual-agent dose escalation part (Part 1):• To determine the maximum tolerated dose of oral, daily (qd) BEZ235 in combination with paclitaxel, qw in patients with advanced solid tumors(MTD1, Arm 1).• To determine the maximum tolerated dose of…
To evaluate the effect of HSP90 inhibition by AUY922 on VEGF by means of 89Zr-bevacizumab PET. Primary endpoint: measurement of decreased VEGF compared to baseline. A decline is defined as a decrease of at least 30% in mean Standardized Uptake Value…
To show the effect of the HSP90 inhibitor AUY922 on HER2 expression by means of 89Zr-trastuzumab PET scanning. Primary endpoint: measurement of decreased HER2 expression compared to baseline. A decline is defined as a decrease of at least 30% in…
