About this study

The aim of this study is to define silent breast cancer prevalence in both sexes and will be held by biopsies performed in imaging suspicious areas of the breast (ecography and mammography) in cadavers without known breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

Cadavers of both sexes are going to be submitted to bilateral mastectomy. The specimens are going to be examined by palpation, ecography and mammography and all areas with (Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System) BI-RADS classification >= 3 are going to be biopsied.

Biopsy specimens are going to be processed by the pathology department and cancers are going to be identified and classified by their molecular type.

The investigators intend to know which is the disease reservoir in various ages.

Being tested
Bilateral mastectomy, Biopsy
Medical subject headings
Breast Neoplasms, Male

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Silent breast cancer prevalence

    To define the existing disease that did not caused death in both sexes

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Silent breast cancer prevalent molecular profile

    To identify those molecular subgroups of the disease that remain silent

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bilateral mastectomy and Biopsy in people with Female Breast Cancer and Male Breast Cancer, run by Centro Hospitalar Lisboa Ocidental.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Nov 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Silent breast cancer prevalence (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Nov 2017.
