Long-Term Follow-Up in Women With Early Breast Cancer Three Years of More Post Primary Treatment

N/AActive Not RecruitingNCT05926024

UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center253 enrolled

Overview

This study evaluates whether there are pre-treatment factors such as patient characteristics, specific breast cancer type, specific treatments, toxicities, or adverse events during treatment that may impact the quality of life and function, 3 years or more after the treatment, in cancer-free subjects. There will be 2 groups. Cohort A: Women who participated in previous studies namely NCT02167932, NCT02328313, and NCT03761706, will be re-contacted and consent for this study activities. Cohort B: Women with breast cancer, who did not receive chemotherapy, will be consented to be included in the study, and their electronic medical data will be used. Furthermore, the long-term effects of treatment and a biomarker of aging cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A,p16INK4a) and relation will be assessed.

Interventions

Exercise Recall Patient Reported OutcomesBEHAVIORAL

Questionnaire items inquire about (1) the number of days of the week participants engage in walking for pleasure or exercise and (2) the number of minutes per day that participants engage in walking for pleasure or exercise.

Health Behavior Questionnaire (HBQ)30 -- Questionnaire items pertain to the history of smoking, engagement in vigorous physical activity, alcohol consumption, and mortality status of parents, and take less than 1 minute to complete.

Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G) Patient Reported OutcomesBEHAVIORAL

Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G) is a quality of life and function measure developed and validated over 20 years ago that has been used in hundreds of cancer studies worldwide. It consists of four well-being domains -- physical, social/family, emotional, and functional. The FACT-G (Version 4) is a 27-item instrument that is formatted for self-administration and uses a 5-point Likert-type scale (0=not at all, 1=a little bit, 2=somewhat, 3=quite a bit, 4=very much). The recall period is "during the past 7 days". It takes 6-8 minutes for an average patient to complete.

Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F) Patient Reported OutcomesBEHAVIORAL

Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F) is a 13-item scale that uses a 5-point Likert-type scale (0=not at all, 1=a little bit, 2=somewhat, 3=quite a bit, 4=very much). The recall period is "during the past 7 days". This measure takes about 1 minute to complete.

Patient Reported Outcomes PROMIS Cognitive Function (Short Form 8a)BEHAVIORAL

PROMIS Cognitive Function (Short Form 8a) includes 8 items on a 5-point Likert-type scale ranging from very often/several times a day = 1 to never = 5, with higher scores indicating greater perceived loss of cognitive function. This measure takes less than 1 minute to complete.

Patient Reported Outcomes Functional Assessment of Cancer-Gynecology Oncology Group-Neurotoxicity (FACT/GOG-NTX-12)BEHAVIORAL

Functional Assessment of Cancer-Gynecology Oncology Group-Neurotoxicity (FACT/GOG-NTX-12) is a questionnaire that includes 12 items inquiring about symptoms in the past 7 days (0=not at all to 4=very much) pertaining to numbness or tingling in hands/feet, discomfort in hands/feet, joint pain or muscle cramps, weakness all over, trouble hearing, ringing/buzzing in ears, buttoning buttons, trouble feeling the shape of small objects in hands, trouble walking, and pain in hands/feet in cold temperatures.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change in Functional Well-being

Change in Functional Well-being will be measured by FACT-G Functional Well-bein in participants who received chemotherapy (Cohort A).

It consists of four well-being domains -- physical, social/family, emotional, and functional.

Time frame: At least 3 years after completion of chemotherapy

Secondary Outcomes

Comparison of Functional well-being- Cohort B

Comparison of Functional well-being will be measured as a comparison of FACT-G Functional Well-being scores of participants who received chemotherapy (Cohort A)and participant who did not receive chemotherapy (Cohort B).
