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…
The purpose of this clinical study is to investigate surgical usability, patient-reported outcomes and effectiveness of the MaMaLoc technique and compare it with WGL.
The study aim is to decrease the number of breast cancer patients receiving overtreatment of the axilla, in order to positively influence the axillary morbidity rate and quality of life. Therefore, we investigate whether completion axillary…
The aim of this study is to identify Galectin-1 and -3 as possible biomarkers in capsular contracture. Moreover, we plan to investigate whether HLA-typing and IgE levels in subjects can be used to predict the chance of development of capsular…
To determine the resorption of ropivacaïne and serum concentration we need 6 bloodsamples at t=0, t=30 min, t=1 hour, t=2 hour, t=4 hour, t=8 hour. A pharmacokinetic model will be made for each procedure using a software package MW/Pharm © (version…
In this study we will evaluate the possibility to locally ablate small breast carcinomas with RFA. Finally this study should contribute to the replacement of the conventional lumpectomy by RFA.1) Can radiofrequency ablation (RFA) completely destroy…
Primary Objective: The primary objective of the present study is to assess the feasibility of using the declipseSPECT system for accurate I-125 seed localisations in breast cancer surgery.Secondary Objective(s): • Assess the accuracy of I-125 seed…
Up front breast surgery in patients with primary distant metastatic breast cancer, will result in an improvement of the 2-year survival compared to the survival achieved with systemic therapy and delayed local treatment or systemic therapy alone.The…
We want to investigate wether a para-vertebral block contributes to a reduced postoperative pain and morphine consumption in patients with breast cancer after a unilateral mastectomy or lumpectomy. By doing this investigation we hope to clarify,…
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; or radioisotope alone).The…
A novel one-stage procedure where definitive implants are combined with a collagen matrix is compared to the traditional two-staged procedure where a tissue expander is placed before an implant. Our hypotheses are the following:The use of a collagen…
The aim of this study is to investigate the host tissue response to the implanted collagen inlay in implant based breast reconstruction. Secondary, we want to investigate if the presence of capsular formation is associated with the presence of…
The aim of this study is to compare clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness of two procedures for skin sparing mastectomy with implant reconstruction in a randomized clinical trial. The customary method for one-stage breast reconstruction with…
To evaluate the tissue-oxygenation and microcirculation before, during and after application of artificial pneumoperitoneum/-thorax using Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) and Sidestream Dark Field Imaging (SDF) and validate the usefulness of these…
To measure the wavelength dependent differences in optical properties between normal and malignant breast tissue over a broad wavelength range (400-1000 nm).
Primary Objective: 1. A search for (objective) EEG predictors (independent variables) for both acute and chronic postoperative pain (dependent variables) after breast cancer surgery. The EEG variables are derived from the above mentioned five…
The objective of this study is to determine the accuracy of the sentinel lymph node biopsy in multicentric breast cancer prospectively and multi-institutional.
To evaluate the efficacy of ROLL versus WGL in breast conserving surgery for non-palpable breast cancer.
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.
Research question: Is microbubble-enhanced Iodine-125 seed localization an accurate tool for preoperative identification of the sentinel lymph node in women with breast cancer, in terms of diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, feasibility, patient…
