Trial summary

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women across the world, accounting for 25.2% of cancer cases among females and 14.7% of cancer-related deaths among females worldwide. The survival rates are markedly lower in the developing countries compared to developed countries, as well as the age at diagnosis. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Trends of Mastectomy and Breast-Conserving Surgery and Related Factors in Female Breast Cancer Patients Treated at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, 2009-2017

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women across the world, accounting for 25.2% of cancer cases among females and 14.7% of cancer-related deaths among females worldwide. The survival rates are markedly lower in the developing countries compared to developed countries, as well as the age at diagnosis. Core management of breast cancer includes surgical removal of the tumor either by breast-conserving surgery (BCS) or mastectomy (removal of the whole breast). Choosing between these two procedures may be influenced by factors that have yet to be studied in Saudi Arabia. The investigators aimed to determine the prevalence of BCS and mastectomy and the factors that may influence the choice of procedure. This retrospective study was carried out by reviewing the records of female breast cancer patients who underwent BCS or mastectomy at King Abdulaziz University Hospital between 2009 to June 2017, excluding those with metastasis (distant spread of the cancer) or recurrence. Using frequencies for the rate, and multivariate tests, the investigators analyzed different demographic, clinicopathological, and radiological factors to detect correlations with procedure choice.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of each of mastectomy and breast-conserving surgery

    The percentage of of patients who underwent each surgery

    Measured: 2009-2017

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. The relationship between the choice of procedure and the patients' age (in years)

    Statistical analysis using independent sample T-test and binary logistic regression

    Measured: 2009-2017

  2. The relationship between the choice of procedure and the use of preoperative chemotherapy (also called "neoadjuvant chemotherapy")

    Statistical analysis using Chi-square test and binary logistic regression

    Measured: 2009-2017

  3. The relationship between the choice of procedure and the tumor's laterality (right versus left breast cancer)

    Statistical analysis using Chi-square test and binary logistic regression

    Measured: 2009-2017

  4. The relationship between the choice of procedure and the tumor's focality (whether it is composed of more than one mass)

    Statistical analysis using Chi-square test and binary logistic regression

    Measured: 2009-2017

  5. The relationship between the choice of procedure and the tumor's centricity (whether it involves more than one quadrant of the breast)

    Statistical analysis using Chi-square test and binary logistic regression

    Measured: 2009-2017

  6. The relationship between the choice of procedure and the tumor's size (in centimeters)

    Statistical analysis using independent sample T-test and binary logistic regression

    Measured: 2009-2017

  7. The relationship between the choice of procedure and the tumor's stage (using the 7th "American Joint Committee on Cancer"'s staging guidelines)

    Statistical analysis using Chi-square test and binary logistic regression

    Measured: 2009-2017

  8. The relationship between the choice of procedure and the tumor's histological grade (using the Nottingham Histologic Score system)

    Statistical analysis using Chi-square test and binary logistic regression

    Measured: 2009-2017

  9. The relationship between the choice of procedure and the tumor's receptor status (whether it is positive for estrogen, progesterone, and/or human epidermal growth factor receptor 2)

    Statistical analysis using Chi-square test and binary logistic regression

    Measured: 2009-2017

  10. The relationship between the choice of procedure and having preoperative magnetic resonance imaging of the breast and its findings

    Statistical analysis using Chi-square test and binary logistic regression

    Measured: 2009-2017

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer and Breast Neoplasms, run by King Abdulaziz University at 1 site in Saudi Arabia.

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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Dec 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Saudi Arabia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Prevalence of each of mastectomy and breast-conserving surgery (time frame: 2009-2017). 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 6 Dec 2018.
