ER+ HER- | Optima Study
Hi everyone I've just had a very interesting meeting with my oncologist - first appointment post surgery. Fortunately, I'm not a candidate for chemo (utter relief) so we didn't discuss this in any detail, but as we were talking about whether I should get a genomic test done or not, he mentioned that there was a new study about to take place - the Optima Study. From what I gathered from him, it'll offer a Prosigna (I think) test as part of the trial, which would obviously be funded (perhaps 100% - not sure) by the study. I think it'll be for people who are about to have surgery or who have recently had surgery - not sure though. I don't know anything further than that, and I couldn't find anything on any Australian sites about it, but there is some info on UK sites as it looks like the trial is being done there as well. Hope this helps someone - and saves someone a few dollars! Also hope this is appropriate to post!
Targeted clinical trial for patients with lymphoedema related to breast cancer surgery
Hi members, The below clinical trial conducted by LeapCure may be of interest to some of you. If you have breast cancer surgery related lymphoedema following a dissection or biopsy procedure, you could be eligible to join a clinical trial that is enrolling nearby. Initial eligibility includes lymphoedema patients who have had surgery for their breast cancer at least 6 months ago and diagnosed with lymphoedema within the past 4 years. The following pre-screener will help you determine your suitability, match you to a nearby trial site, and enter you on to a list for the LeapCure team to give you a call back. To help you determine if you are eligible for the study, LeapCure, who are administering the recruitment of this study in Australia, have developed a survey found at the link below. By taking this survey, you are providing your consent (agreement) for LeapCure to collect and store your survey answers on an overseas server (large computer) that is compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (USA).
