Filter by:This randomized clinical trial studies how well gentle yoga and dietary counseling lifestyle change effects physical function and quality of life of endometrial cancer survivors. Gentle yoga and dietary counseling may help improve physical function and quality of life for stage I-II endometrial cancer survivors.
Endometrial cancer is the most common gynaecological cancer in developed countries with more than 75% of the patients surviving for at least five years. However, most endometrial cancer survivors are overweight and obese and do not meet the current nutrition and physical activity recommendations. This can lower their quality of life and increase their risk for chronic diseases. Behaviour change interventions can help them feel better about themselves and improve their quality of life. Applying them shortly after treatment seems ideal as cancer survivors feel motivated to make changes about their lifestyle at this time point. This study is to see if the investigators can design a project to measure how well a psycho-educational healthy eating and physical activity programme tailored to the survivors' needs works. Sixty-four endometrial cancer survivors diagnosed during the previous three years, and are all clear will be put by chance into one of two groups. One will receive the program. The other will receive usual care until the end of the trial and, then, a discussion and a self-help guide about eating well and being active following cancer treatment. This will help us to see if the programme makes a difference compared with usual care. The results will inform a larger study to test if a lifestyle program can improve the quality of life of uterine cancer survivors compared with usual care. The investigators will change the programme materials in response to the investigators' findings, making them available to services. The results will inform practice and research.
This is a prospective, single-center randomized trial with three arms, and an allocation ratio of 1:1:1. The study design is an efficacy study to evaluate the effect of metformin and coach-directed behavioral weight loss versus self-directed weight loss on insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 and IGF-1 to THE IGFBP-III ratio blood levels after 6 and 12 months of intervention. The coach-directed Behavioral Weight Loss arm is a web-based remote delivery and communication system that promotes healthy behavioral changes. The Metformin arm is a pharmaceutical intervention of oral metformin. This is a secondary prevention study for men and women who have survived solid malignant tumors
Background: It has often been hypothesized that the frequency of follow-up for patients with early-stage endometrial cancer could be decreased. However, studies evaluating effects of a reduced follow-up schedule among this patient group are lacking. Objective: Assess patient satisfaction and cost-effectiveness of a less frequent follow-up schedule compared to the schedule according to the Dutch guideline. Study design: Dutch multicentre randomized controlled trial with a 5 year follow-up. Patients (n=282) are randomized in an intervention group with 4 follow-up visits during 3 years, and a control group with 10-13 follow-up visits during 5 years, according to the Dutch guideline. Patients are asked to fill out a questionnaire at baseline, 6, 12, 36 and 60 months. Patient inclusion will take two years (if 60% of the patients participate). Outcomes: Primary: Patient satisfaction with follow-up care and cost-effectiveness. Secondary: health care use, adherence to schedule, health-related quality of life, fear of recurrence, anxiety and depression, information provision, recurrence, survival Patients: Stage 1A and 1B low-risk endometrial cancer patients, for whom adjuvant radiotherapy is not indicated Statistics: linear regression analyses to assess differences in patient satisfaction with follow-up care between intervention and control group adjusted for potential pre-defined confounders. Expected results: Patients in the intervention arm have a similar satisfaction with follow-up care and overall outcomes, but lower health care use and costs than patients in the control arm. No effects are expected on QALY differences (losses) and satisfaction, but the reduced schedule is expected to save 144.000 per year in the Netherlands.
The current pilot study aims at answering the scientific question, whether exfoliated cells from Endometrium Carcinoma (EC) can be detected in the lavage fluid from the uterine cavity and proximal fallopian tubes with the same sensitivity as in specimen from liquid-based cervical cytology. If this turns out to be the case, earlier detection, particularly of type II EC should be possible.
A six-month interventional program to determine the biological and psychosocial effects of hula as a form of physical activity for female breast, cervical, endometrial or ovarian cancer survivors living on Oahu.
This pilot clinical trial studies whether obese stage I-II endometrial cancer survivors or patients with atypical hyperplasia (abnormal cells in the lining of the uterus) would go see a weight loss specialist if it was recommended by their cancer doctor. Excess body weight or obesity is one of the most common contributors to (causes of) endometrial cancer. Over two-thirds of women who have survived endometrial cancer are obese. Complications of obesity, such as heart disease are often more dangerous than the cancer itself. A weight loss of even 5-10% of excess body weight is associated with improved health. Often, meeting with a doctor or person who is an expert in weight loss (bariatric specialist) is the best way to lose weight and keep it off. Endometrial cancer survivors or patients with atypical hyperplasia who go see a weight loss specialist recommended by their doctor may be able to achieve a healthier body weight.
The purposes of this study are to determine whether total lymph node count or the percentage of identified nodes with metastatic disease are influenced by (1) the method of categorizing tissue specimens or (2) the techniques of pathologic processing following lymphadenectomy. Patients with newly diagnosed endometrial carcinoma of high risk histologic type or uterine carcinosarcoma whose risk of LN metastasis exceeds 15% will be enrolled on this study. Patients will undergo staging to include hysterectomy and selective lymphadenectomy as per the clinical judgment of the primary Gynecologic Oncologist. Type of hysterectomy and the extent and distribution of lymphadenectomy is at the discretion of the surgeon. All patients will be scheduled for surgical staging. Each subject will have lymph nodes harvested on one side divided into specific basins, and on the contralateral side classified only as "pelvic" or "aortic". Surgical node specimens in the operating room will be labeled by (1) specific nodal basins on the randomly determined side as "external iliac", "obturator", "common iliac", "aortic", or "high aortic" and by (2) "pelvic" versus "aortic" (common iliac nodes will be considered as part of the "pelvic" specimen) on the contralateral side.
This prospective randomized pilot study is aimed to verify if the operative time of a total laparoscopical hysterectomy (TLH) with pelvic lymphadenectomy for endometrial cancer FIGO stage IB-II could be reduced using 3D laparoscopy versus standard laparoscopy
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of the investigational drug, selinexor (KPT-330), in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel chemotherapy, where paclitaxel will be given at two different dosing schedules and selinexor will be given at two different dosing schedules. Carboplatin and paclitaxel chemotherapy is a commonly used therapy for the treatment of advanced or recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, primary peritoneal, or endometrial cancer. The investigators want to find out what effects, good and/or bad, selinexor has on the patient and the cancer.
