Study summary

Background :

Breast cancer is a disease that occurs primarily in elderly women: 54057 of breast cancer occurred on women in 2008, 15.2% were between 75 and 84 years and 5.4% were over 85 years. Elderly women cancers care exposes to several problems: the opportunity for screening, knowing that mammography is not recommended after 75 years old, and the level of treatment depending on the background and the existence of weaknesses. It should determine whether patients are in adequate physiological condition to tolerate classical and "complete" treatment or conversely in a precarious state with advanced fragility, justifying only lightened and adapted symptomatic treatment.

Purpose :

The purpose of this research theme is to assess the quality of life of elderly patients who underwent mastectomy for breast cancer. The objectives are:

  • Assess the determinants of acceptance and / or rejection of mastectomy based on personal background (level of fragility, self-image) and linked to cancer
  • Assess the quality of life, 6 months later, of women who underwent or not mastectomy, and appreciate the determinants

Abstract :

The total mastectomy allow, oncologically, a more valid treatment than a lumpectomy, in many cases of women suffering from a breast cancer, but its relevance and acceptability are poorly known. Some think that an elderly woman, postmenopausal, is less concerned with her aesthetics and feminine attributes, which would allow her to accept easily the mastectomy.

The research hypothesis is that the acceptability of mastectomy is not good in elderly women

Read the detailed description

Primary outcome:

Better detection of comorbidity and geriatric syndromes in vulnerable patients Better detection of a degradation of the quality of life at D0 (at diagnosis)

Secondary outcomes:

Better support for quality of life and psychological support after mastectomy (revaluation to 6 months) Integration of patients in the geriatric sector and implementation of regular monitoring Study design: prospective, multicenter

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Evaluation of quality of life change by SF-36 (The Short Form Health Survey) between baseline and six months

    the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). SF-36 is a set of generic, coherent, and easily administered quality-of-life measures. These measures rely upon patient self-reporting and are now widely utilized monitoring and assessment of care outcomes in adult patients. a score of zero is equivalent to maximum disability and a score of 100 is equivalent to no disability

    Time frame: Baseline and 6 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. QLQ-C30 (Global Health Status)

    Quality of life (QoL or QOL) is the perceived quality of an individual's daily life, that is, an assessment of their well-being or lack thereof. This includes all emotional, social and physical aspects of the individual's life;All of the scales and single-item measures range in score from 0 to 100.

    Time frame: Baseline and 6 months

  2. Psychological profile

    Big Five Inventory (BFI),personality inventory for research settings, minimum = 45 points and maximum scores = 180 points .

    Time frame: Baseline and 6 months

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Dec 2016 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2020, 48 months after the start.

Of 2,661 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Breast Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 33 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 16 and three quarters within 66. This study's planned 48 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 2,771 studies reached it within 33 months; a quarter within 15 and three quarters within 66.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 31, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
