To assess, based on a woman*s risk profile, mammographic density and age, the most cost-effective screening method, mammography or MRI, for women at high risk.
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…
The aim of this pilot-study is to examine the accuracy of MRL compared to current nodal staging methods. We expect anacceptable accuracy of the MRL based on earlier studies with gadofosveset enhanced MRI in rectum cancer patients. Then the MRL could…
The primary objective (on lesion-based analysis) is to show that pre-treatment 89Zr-trastuzumab PET/CT is able to select lesions not responding morphologically from treatment with T-DM1 (applying RECIST 1.0 criteria)Secondary Objectives and…
The aims of this project are to:1. Assess what percentage of breast cancer patients experience accelerated gain in fat mass, loss of muscle mass and muscle strength as induced during chemotherapy2. Assess whether changes in energy intake, protein…
Our study aim is to assess whether MARIA* can provide diagnostic information that can supplement, and in some cases, replace mammography as a tool in the symptomatic workflow. We will also seek patient feedback on this non-ionising, non-compressing…
The main objective of this study is to improve the power of breast ultrasound examinations by evaluating tissue alterations by means of Elastography. Recent studies have shown that there is a correlation between stiffness and malignancy of tissue.…
To determine the concordance between the ex vivo anthracycline sensitivity test and in vivo response to anthracycline-based NAC. Also, optimal cut-off values for the ex vivo anthracycline sensitivity assay are determined to carefully predict in vivo…
Objective 1: To collect information on risk factors and biomarkers in a screening cohort, develop a tailor-made risk prediction model and, subsequently, model the impact of adapting breast cancer screening policy to populations at varying levels of…
To assess whether the use of RFIB instead of LCNB increases the probability of a definitive preoperative histological diagnosis in women with suspicious mammographic breast lesions. assess the *RFIB success rate*, defined as the proportion of…
To discriminate the acquired anti-hormonal resistance phenotypes in patients based on ER expression levels by FES-PET in order to select patients eligible for estrogen therapy.
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 objective of our study is to to assess the diagnostic performance of 7T CE breast MRI in comparison to the current clinical standard of 3T MRI and histopathology on a intra-individual basis.
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…
Is ductoscopy with white light and autofluorescent light a useful method for diagnosing precancerous breast lesions?
The objective of this study is to investigate effects of different forms of patient information on chemotherapy side effects, in particular, assessing the severity and duration of the negative effects of information on chemotherapy-associated…
The primary objective is to assess the contribution of HER2-PET to subsequent anti-HER2-therapy decisions. Secondary objectives are assessment of clinical value of HER2-PET for the referring clinician; correlation of HER2-PET with standard…
The aim of this study is to evaluate androgen receptor (AR) and estrogen receptor (ER) expression non-invasively by means of PET imaging with the tracers 18F-FDHT and 18F-FES. To verify the PET results, the standard diagnostic biopsy will be…
