Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to evaluate whether a new technology called intrauterine photoacoustic endoscopy (PAE) can be used to evaluate the inner lining of the uterus.
The purpose of this study is to see if the investigators can measure inhibition of a protein, Src (named for Sarcoma), in tissue and blood in patients with a diagnosis of endometrial cancer. Dasatinib is a drug that blocks the activity of an important protein in cancer cells called Src. The investigators can measure the blocking of Src in the bloodstream. However, the investigators do not know if measures in the bloodstream reflect blockage of Src in cancer tissue. The investigators are doing this study to try and see if the investigators can match what the investigators see in cancer tissue to what the investigators see in the bloodstream. the investigators hope that in the future, the investigators can use blood to measure protein inhibition by dasatinib instead of asking patients to undergo repeat biopsies.
This is a randomized trial of 140 women with endometrial or cervical cancer undergoing removal of lymph tissue (lymphadenectomy). The application of 4 tachosil fibrin patches to the pelvic side wall after tissue removal is tested against no such intervention after tissue removal. The primary endpoint is to evaluate the incidence of symptomatic pelvic lymphoceles defined by CTCAE 4.03 grade >2 within 4 weeks after surgery in women undergoing open or laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy for cervical and endometrial cancer with and without the application of Tachosil® during surgery. The study's hypothesis is that the application of tachosil fibrin patches will significantly reduce the rate of symptomatic lymph cysts.
The surgical management of high-risk endometrial cancer often involves an extensive operation to remove lymph nodes as sites of possible cancer spread. 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging is increasingly being used to identify sites of cancer spread and recently groups have used an intra-operative gamma probe to better localize metastatic disease. In this pilot study, patients with newly diagnosed early stage, high-risk endometrial cancer undergoing primary surgery will have a pre-operative PET scan and intra-operative localization of metastatic lymph nodes with the use of a gamma probe. A complete lymphadenectomy will follow and ability to detect positive lymph nodes of both PET scan and the intra-operative probe will be calculated. This study addresses the feasibility of an FDG detection gamma probe in addition to a pre-operative PET/CT for lymphatic mapping in women with clinical early stage high risk endometrial cancer. The study will also evaluate the role of identifying metastatic lymph nodes intraoperatively that would otherwise be clinically negative.
Previous some studies suggested the addition of chemotherapy to radiation therapy after surgery may have survival benefit in patients with high risk endometrial cancer. In addition, docetaxel plus cisplatin regimen may have similar efficacy with paclitaxel plus carboplatin which is currently used in most cases. However, docetaxel plus cisplatin may cause less toxicity compared to paclitaxel plus carboplatin. Therefore, the investigators aimed to analyze the efficacy of docetaxel plus cisplatin regimen followed by radiation therapy after surgery in patients with high risk endometrial cancer.
This is a multicenter, single-arm, open-label Phase II study to evaluate the activity of GDC-0980 in patients with recurrent or persistent endometrial cancer. The safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of GDC-0980 will also be evaluated.
The goal of this study is to understand factors which may influence risk for colorectal and other cancers in families. These factors include genetic variability, in combination with diet and lifestyle. In order to achieve these goals, we need to contact as many eligible participants as possible.
This is a multicenter, international, prospective, observational study of patients who are receiving systemic chemotherapy for solid tumour cancers (breast, colorectal, ovarian, prostate, lung, bladder, endometrial, renal, pancreatic, esophageal or gastric) and who are receiving darbepoetin alfa (Aranesp®) or other erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) to treat symptomatic anaemia. Quality of Life will be assessed electronically with the aim of estimating improvement in quality of life for those patients receiving darbepoetin alfa (Aranesp®) who also have an increase in haemoglobin (Hb) of ≥1 g/dL
To determine if weekly exercise compared to stretching has an effect on fatigue, depression, and anxiety in endometrial cancer survivors.
This study is to determine the clinical efficacy of BKM120 as monotherapy in the treatment of initial or recurrent metastatic endometrial cancer after first line radio chemotherapy. Clinical efficacy will be determined by the non-progression rate at 3 or 2 months depending on the group of patients. The primary endpoint is the non-progression rate at 3 months (12 weeks) for the patient group whose disease is painless (low grade tumor = stratum 1) and the non-progression rate at 2 months (8 weeks) for the group of patients with an aggressive disease (high grade tumor = stratum 2). Disease progression is defined by the RECIST 1.1 criteria
