Metastatic Relapse

AbstractDespite being the hallmark of cancer that is responsible for the highest number of deaths, very little is known about the biology of metastasis. Metastatic disease typically manifests after a protracted period of undetectable disease following surgery or systemic therapy, owing to relapse or recurrence. In the case of breast cancer, metastatic relapse can occur months to decades after initial diagnosis and treatment. In this review, we provide an overview of the known key factors that influence metastatic recurrence, with the goal of highlighting the critical unanswered questions that still need to be addressed to make a difference in the mortality of breast cancer patients.

Women's Lives

Background:  Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed type of cancer in the world and it is a major stressor in women's lives. Breast cancer cases are increasing in both rural and urban settings. Mastectomy is a procedure that removes the breast to prevent cancer cells from returning. Many complications can develop after a mastectomy but lymphedema and limited range of motion are the most prevalent. The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of post mastectomy exercises in breast cancer patients on reduction of lymphedema and improving range of motion among patients undergone mastectomy. Objectives: To assess pre interventional level of lymphedema among patients undergone mastectomy. To assess pre interventional range of motion among patients undergone mastectomy. To evaluate the effectiveness of post mastectomy exercises in reducing lymphedema among patients undergone mastectomy To evaluate the effectiveness of post mastectomy exercises in improving range of motion among patients undergone mastectomy. To associate demographic variable with post mastectomy exercises. To associate correlation of post mastectomy exercise with lymphedema and range of motion. Methodology: A pre interventional one group pretest posttest design would be adopted to assess the effectiveness of post mastectomy exercises in breast cancer patients on reduction of lymphedema and improving range of motion among patients undergone mastectomy. In this study interventional analytical study will be used. Purposive sampling technique will be used to collect the data. The study will include 30 patients undergone mastectomy will be assessed by using American lymphology lymphedema scale and Elvaru STJ (Subtalar joint) range of motion and range of motion reliability tool with the help of inch tape and goniometer and then post mastectomy exercises will be teach by researcher as intervention. Expected Results: The goal of this study is to see how effective post-mastectomy exercises are at reducing lymphedema and improving range of motion in breast cancer patients who had undergone mastectomy. Teaching post-mastectomy exercises can help the respondents reduce lymphedema and improve their range of motion.

Background: Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer among Indonesian women. Adjuvant chemotherapy plays a crucial role in the management of early breast cancer patients, with docetaxel-based regimens as a cornerstone therapy. The Asia-Pacific breast initiative II registry was established to evaluate safety parameters of docetaxel-based regimens in the Asia-Pacific region within 2009–2013 period. The result from Indonesia population is presented in this study.Methods: This study was a part of International, longitudinal, multicenter, and observational research which included a group of consecutive early breast cancer patients with an intermediate-to-high risk of recurrence that was being treated with various docetaxel-based (anthracycline and non-anthracycline) adjuvant chemotherapy regimens during 2009–2013 in real-world clinical settings.Results: The analysis included 49 subjects (2.8% of total study population). Majority of subjects received non-anthracycline-containing regimen (79.6%). Docetaxel was mainly prescribed in combination (63.27%). Chemotherapy-related adverse events were reported in all subjects. Mean number of cycles received by subjects was 5.5 cycles with dose intensity of 23.78 mg/m2/week.Conclusions: The Indonesian result, as part of the Asia-Pacific Breast Initiative II Registry, identified some important factors that are relevant to clinical practice, including patient’s characteristics and treatment pattern of docetaxel use as adjuvant chemotherapy regimens.
