Filter by:This is a prospective diagnostic performance study which compares three new imaging methods with the current standard imaging method for the diagnosis of metastatic lymph nodes.
This randomized trial is studying the efficacy and safety of the hysterectomy alone compared with hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) for patients with Stage IA endometrial carcinoma.
This randomized trial is studying the efficacy and safety of the chemotherapy compared with radiation therapy alone as adjuvant treatment after operation in Patients with high risk and Stage I endometrial carcinoma.
This clinical trial studies lymph node mapping in patients with endometrial cancer. Lymph node mapping may allow for limited removal of lymph nodes in as part of endometrial cancer staging and treatment.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the extraperitoneal approach is better than the transperitoneal approach for laparoscopic aortic lymphadenectomy for the surgical staging of endometrial or ovarian cancer.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if the combination of everolimus, letrozole, and metformin can help to control recurrent or progressive endometrial cancer. The safety of this drug combination will also be studied. Everolimus is designed to block a protein inside cancer cells that is involved in cancer growth. Letrozole is designed to block a protein from making estrogen. This may interfere with the growth of cancer cells. Metformin is commonly used to control blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes. It is designed to lower insulin levels, which may slow or stop the growth of endometrial cancer cells.
Background: - Endometrial cancer is one of the most common gynecologic cancers. If it is caught at an early stage, it can be treated more easily. Women who have this type of cancer often have a history of irregular menstrual bleeding. They may also have abnormal findings during gynecologic exams. Pap smears and cervical cell collection may be able to collect cell samples for cancer testing. However, samples from the vagina or endometrium may produce more accurate results. Researchers want to collect vaginal and endometrial cell samples to improve their tests for and understanding of endometrial cancer. Objectives: - To collect vaginal and endometrial cell samples to study endometrial cancer. Eligibility: - Women at least 18 years of age who have had symptoms of abnormal uterine or post-menopausal bleeding, or abnormal ultrasound findings. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. - Participants will have a pelvic exam. Before the exam, they will insert a small tampon in the vagina. The tampon will stay in place for about 10 to 30 minutes. The tampon will then be removed and collected for the study. - During the pelvic exam, tissue will be collected from the uterine lining with a special brush. An additional sample (biopsy) will be collected from the lining. - A blood sample will also be collected as part of the study.
Wright et al (Anticancer Res, 2000) reported the results of a retrospective study on 11 patients with advanced/recurrent endometrial cancers. All patients had multi-site disease and were heavily pretreated with a median of 3 prior chemotherapy regimens. All received bevacizumab combination therapy which was well-tolerated. Two patients had partial responses, 3 had stable disease, while 5 patients progressed. One subject was not assessable for response. The median progression-free interval was 5.4 months for the entire cohort and 8.7 months for those who achieved clinical benefit (PR or SD). The authors concluded that Bevacizumab was well-tolerated and displayed promising anti-neoplastic activity in patients with endometrial cancer.The rationale for combining anti-angiogenic agents, including anti-VEGF antibodies, with cytotoxic chemotherapy stems from a number of preclinical studies showing additive and synergistic anti-tumour activity in a number of solid tumour types. By combining VEGF-targeting agents such as bevacizumab with conventional chemotherapies, it is hoped that these agents will act synergistically, thereby enhancing their anti-tumour efficacy and controlling disease progression. The addition of bevacizumab to chemotherapy has been shown to improve PFS and/or OS in a series of large, randomized Phase III clinical trials in a wide range of tumour types, including mCRC, non-squamous NSCLC, metastatic BC (mBC) and mRCC.
Open-label, randomized, active-controlled, two-arm Phase III study to compare the efficacy and safety of AEZS-108 and doxorubicin.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well psychosexual intervention works in patients with stage I-III gynecologic or breast cancer. Psychosexual intervention may improve sexual and psychosocial function.
