Effectiveness

How Testosterone Propionate Affects Patients

Taking testosterone propionate can cause the body to produce proteins linked to male sexual development. Studies have also found that taking testosterone propionate can reduce the amount of a hormone called luteinizing hormone (LH) in the bloodstream.

How Testosterone Propionate works in the body

Testosterone works in the body by directly activating the androgen receptor or by being converted to a different form called DHT and activating the receptor in that way. The activated receptors then bind to certain genes, which can produce different effects in the body.

Testosterone Propionate for Deficient Activity of the Testis

Injections every other day, on average. These have caused me pain in the form of lumps that last for several days after each injection; however, I've definitely seen an improvement in my symptoms overall. Additionally, going to a 100mg/ml concentration improved post-injection pain (as 200mg/ml left pronounced pain). My dosage didn't change, just diluted it with more oil so as to keep the oil from being quickly absorbed and leaving testosterone crystals in muscle tissue to inflame said tissue.

Patient Q&A Section about testosterone propionate

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What is testosterone propionate side effects?

"The most common side effect of Testosterone Propionate is a pain at the injection site. The other common side effects are diarrhea, leg pain, dizziness, increased sweating, headache, acne, breast pain, and gynecomastia. If any of these side effects are bothersome, consult with the doctor."

Answered by AI

How long does testosterone propionate take to kick in?

"The effects on sexual interest will appear after 3 weeks and will stop increasing after 6 weeks. The effects on erections and ejaculations may take up to 6 months. The effects on quality of life will appear within 3-4 weeks, but the maximum benefits will take longer."

Answered by AI

What is the difference between testosterone cypionate and propionate?

"Testosterone cypionate has the same effect as enanthate. Testosterone propionate must be injected every 2-3 days, but testosterone enanthate (doses of 200-250 mg) and testosterone cypionate can last longer and only need to be injected every 2-3 weeks. This is for replacement therapy of hypogonadism."

Answered by AI

Why was testosterone propionate discontinued?

"When longer-acting forms of testosterone became available, testosterone propionate fell out of favor because it requires more doses and has a worse safety profile."

Supplemental Imaging for Breast Cancer

25 - 55
Female
St Louis, MO

Recent research has shown that, among women with extremely dense breasts and normal results on mammogram, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) use has significantly reduced the occurrence of breast cancer that is diagnosed during the time between two regular screening mammograms (also known as interval cancers). The investigators have developed and validated an approach to use the whole mammogram image, develop a mammogram risk score (MRS), and calibrate this to the SEER breast cancer incidence rates for US women. This model (Prognosia Breast) generates an absolute 5-year risk of breast cancer and classifies approximately 5.7% of the population as high risk using the ASCO 3% cut point as used for endocrine therapy to reduce risk. Follow-up generates an incidence of 25.2 cases per 1,000 women per year.

Algorithm-Based Treatment Options for Advanced Breast Cancer

18 - 120
All Sexes
Bethesda, MD

Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in US women. There are different types of breast cancers; some are aggressive and difficult to treat. Researchers want to know if an algorithm (ENLIGHT) can help choose approved drugs that will treat these cancers more effectively. Objective: To test whether ENLIGHT can find better treatments for aggressive breast cancers. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with triple-negative or endocrine therapy resistant breast cancer; the cancer must have either failed to respond to treatment or come back after treatment. Design: Participants will be screened. A sample of tissue taken from the tumor will be tested using ENLIGHT as well as another method (TruSight Oncology 500). Participants will be assigned to 1 of 3 groups based on the algorithm search results: Group 1: No drug option was recommended. Participants will continue with their standard treatment with their local doctors. Group 2: A drug already approved for the participant's disease was recommended, but the participant has not yet received it. These results will be sent to the participant's local doctors. Participants may return to the NIH if their disease gets worse after using the suggested drugs. Group 3: A drug approved for other uses was recommended. Participants will be treated with the recommended drugs at the NIH; their care will be managed by an NIH doctor. They will continue to receive treatment as long as the drugs are helping them. They will have follow-up visits for 2 years after treatment ends. Participants who are not treated at the NIH will be contacted for a check on their health every 3 months for 2 years.

All Sexes
Saint Louis, MO

In this study, patients who are scheduled for breast reconstruction consultation will be randomized into the intervention group (ChatGPT-generated patient education regarding possible reconstruction options) or the control group (usual patient education). All patients will complete a survey following their in-person consultation to assess their experience and overall satisfaction with the consultation process. Additionally, participating surgeons will complete a separate survey to evaluate their consultation experience, satisfaction, and to assess the accuracy and clinical utility of the ChatGPT-generated patient education materials. The surveys are designed to gather information on patient characteristics, organizational health literacy according to Brega et al. Other survey questions have been designed to meet the outcomes of this study and have not been based on previously published surveys.

Exercise Programs for Cancer

Calgary, Canada

EXCEL will provide online and, where feasible, in-person exercise programs to individuals living with and beyond cancer (ILWBC). Research has shown that targeted programs that include tailored exercise prescriptions are more successful in helping individuals with chronic disease to incorporate physical activity and exercise into their daily routines. While ILWBC are advised by healthcare professionals (HCPs) to engage in exercise, there is a lack of cancer-specific exercise programs and cancer-trained exercise specialists in Canada, outside of the research setting. Considering the negative impact cancer and its treatments have on fitness and physical activity levels, community-based efforts towards improving access, uptake and maintenance of exercise programming are needed. This study will evaluate the benefits of a community-based or online EXCEL exercise program for people living with and beyond cancer across Canada, using a streamlined intake process compared to the original EXCEL Study (HREBA.CC-20-0098, NCT04478851). This 8 to 12-week program (intervention) will be delivered in-person or over virtual platform. It includes twice weekly supervised exercise classes.

Web-Based Intervention for Cancer Pain in Breast Cancer Survivors

18+
Female
Austin, TX

This study is funded by the HEAL Initiative (https://heal.nih.gov/). Based on Preliminary Studies (PSs), the research team developed and pilot-tested an evidence-based Web App-based information and coaching/support program for cancer pain management (CAPA) that was culturally tailored to Asian American breast cancer survivors using multiple unique features. However, CAPA rarely considered depressive symptoms accompanying pain in its design or components, and PSs indicated the necessity of further individualization of the intervention components of CAPA due to diversities in the needs of ABD. The purpose of the proposed 2-phase study is to further develop CAPA with additional components for ABD and the individual optimization functionality (CAI) and to test the efficacy of CAI in improving cancer pain experience of ABD. The specific aims are to: a) develop and evaluate CAI through an expert review and a usability test (R61 phase); b) determine whether the intervention group (that uses CAI and usual care) will show significantly greater improvements than the active control group (that uses CAPA and usual care) in primary outcomes (cancer pain management and cancer pain experience including depressive symptoms) from baseline to post 1-month and post 3-months; c) identify theory-based variables (attitudes, self-efficacy, perceived barriers, and social influences) that mediate the intervention effects of CAI on the primary outcomes; and d) determine whether the effects of CAI on the primary outcomes are moderated by selected background, disease, genetic, and situational factors. This study is guided by the Bandura's Theory and the stress and coping framework by Lazarus and Folkman. The R61 phase includes: (a) the intervention development process, (b) a usability test among 15 ABD, 15 family members, and 15 community gatekeepers; and (c) an expert review among 10 experts in oncology. The R33 phase adopts a randomized repeated measures control group design among 300 ABD. Long-term goals are: (a) to extend and test CAI in various healthcare settings with diverse subgroups of ABD, (b) examine the costeffectiveness, sustainability, and scalability of CAI in the settings, and (c) translate CAI into health care for ABD.
