Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Examine affect reactivity and regulation among women with a recent diagnosis of breast cancer in comparison to healthy controls.
II. Relate affect reactivity and regulation to choice of bilateral mastectomy (BLM).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Assess long term functioning correlates of BLM decision and affect reactivity and regulation.
OUTLINE: Study plans to recruit total of 170 women. Participants will be assigned to 3 arms. For women diagnosed with breast cancer (total of 130) 65 with BLM as part of their cancer treatment and 65 non-BLM. The 3rd arm being 40 women with no cancer diagnosis as controls.
Study protocol will be the same for all 170 Study participants. Active participation by each participant will be approximately 8 hours at baseline and 2 hours at 6, 12, and 18-month follow-ups. Baseline assessment involve completing a set of questionnaires, participating in various tasks while undergoing an MRI scan of the head, providing saliva samples and I tube of blood. Follow-up assessments involve completing a set of questionnaires and saliva collection, all can be done at home.

breast cancer with bilateral mastectomy
This group has patients with breast cancer who have chosen to have a bilateral mastectomy.
Patients complete questionnaires over 1 hour, undergo fMRI related tasks over 2-2.5 hours, and blood/saliva sample collection upon awakening, 30 minutes after awakening, and at 9 pm in the evening for 3 consecutive days.

breast cancer without bilateral mastectomy
This group has patients diagnosed with breast cancer who have chosen not to have bilateral mastectomy (e.g. they may have unilateral mastectomy, lumpectomy, radiation, etc. but not bilateral mastectomy).
Patients complete questionnaires over 1 hour, undergo fMRI related tasks over 2-2.5 hours, and blood/saliva sample collection upon awakening, 30 minutes after awakening, and at 9 pm in the evening for 3 consecutive days.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Explicit Affect Reactivity and Regulation Measured Using functional MRI (fMRI) Reactivity Probes
Time Frame: Up to 18 months
|
Multivariate regression analysis will be used to examine affect reactivity among women with a recent diagnosis of breast cancer in comparison to healthy controls at baseline.
Functional data will be collected on the explicit affect regulation task (20 minutes) and explicit cancer related affect regulation task (8 minutes).
Affect reactivity and cancer-related affect reactivity will be defined by WATCH negative minus WATCH neutral and by WATCH cancer-related negative and WATCH neutral contrast.
The larger this value, the greater the affect reactivity.
Explicit affect regulation will defined by WATCH negative minus REAPPRAISE negative, and by WATCH negative minus REAPPRAISE cancer-related negative contrasts.
The greater this value, the less successful explicit regulation is.
|
Up to 18 months
|
Implicit Affect Reactivity and Regulation Measured Using fMRI Reactivity Probes
Time Frame: Up to 18 months
|
Multivariate regression analysis will be used to examine affect reactivity among women with a recent diagnosis of breast cancer in comparison to healthy controls at baseline.
Functional data will be collected on the implicit affect regulation task (13 minutes) and implicit cancer-related affect regulation task (13 minutes).
Affect reactivity and cancer-related affect reactivity will be defined by incongruent minus congruent trials and incongruent cancer minus congruent cancer-related trials.
The greater this value, the more affect reactivity there is.
Implicit affect regulation for general affective content will be calculated by post-congruent incongruent trials minus post-incongruent incongruent trials.
Similarly, implicit affect regulation for cancer related content will be calculated from the post-congruent incongruent trials minus post-incongruent incongruent trials in the cancer-related adaptation of the task.
The greater this value, the less successful implicit regulation is.

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Diurnal Slope of Cortisol
Time Frame: Up to 18 months
|
Affect management is associated with the diurnal slope of cortisol.
The stress of a breast cancer diagnosis and subsequent treatment choices is bound to affect hormonal stress response systems, such as the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA).
Cortisol levels, measured reliably in saliva, are a meaningful and accessible way of assessing physiological stress response.
Salient to this study of affect regulation, the investigators have found that flatter diurnal cortisol slope is associated with higher repressive-defensiveness and less sustained expression of primary negative affect in a group setting.
|
Up to 18 months
|
BLM decision and affective distress
Time Frame: Up to 18 months
|
Longitudinal trajectories of affective distress are examined.
For this, The Contralateral Prophylactic Mastectomy (CPM) survey consists of 23 items related to decision making, knowledge, risk perceptions, and worry about breast cancer.
It was developed based on expert knowledge measuring decision making, risk perceptions, and knowledge outcomes in patients with breast cancer.
It showed in a recent study that choice of CPM is related to significant anxiety about cancer coupled with overestimation of the risk of recurrence and therefore of the benefit of the procedure.
This will be used to study the link between affect reactivity and regulation and cognitive distortion about risks and benefits.

Up to 18 months
|
Functional status as a predictor of longitudinal progression
Time Frame: Up to 18 months
|
Functional status is assessed through self-report measures.
The "Ways of Coping Checklist" was developed to assess eight fundamental dimensions of the coping process: confrontation, distancing, self-control, seeking social support, accepting responsibility, escape/avoidance, planful problem solving, and positive reappraisal.
These dimensions measure two general functions of coping, problem-focused coping and emotion-focused coping.
Problem-focused coping is aimed at doing something to change the stressful situation for the better, whereas emotion- focused coping is aimed at regulating emotional distress

Choice of BLM and reliance on information from nonmedical sources assessed using the Rosenberg questionnaire
Time Frame: Up to 18 months
|
As an exploratory analysis, using logistic regression analysis, an examination of whether women who choose BLM report more reliance on information from nonmedical sources such as media and the internet than on medical professionals and family/friends (Rosenberg Questionnaire (29), question 23) will be conducted.
