Filter by:This pilot clinical trial studies stress reduction in improving quality of life in patients with recurrent gynecologic or breast cancer. Participating in a stress reduction program may help improve quality of life in patients with gynecologic or breast cancer.
Endometrial cancer is one of the most common gynecological cancers, and the incidence increasing in the world. However, there isn't any large sample data of endometrial cancer reported in China. Thus Endometrial cancer project of Guangdong province conduct a large multicentre clinical investigation about endometrial cancer.
The purpose of this study is to see whether it is feasible to conduct a study to determine if the use of hyaluronic acid (HLA) vaginal gel (HyaloGYN®) improves vulvovaginal health. This study aims to look at whether or not HyaloGYN® is effective in women with a history of hormone receptor positive cancer and experiencing vaginal and/or vulvar symptoms of estrogen deprivation following their breast and endometrial cancer treatment.
This clinical trial studies positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) and lymph node mapping in finding lymph node metastasis in patients with endometrial cancer that is at high risk of spreading. A PET/CT scan is a procedure that combines the pictures from a PET scan and a CT scan, which are taken at the same time from the same machine. The combined scans give more detailed pictures of areas inside the body than either scan gives by itself. Lymph node mapping uses a radioactive dye, called indocyanine green solution, to identify lymph nodes that may contain cancer cells. PET/CT and sentinel lymph node mapping may be better ways than surgery to identify cancer in the lymph nodes.
This prospective randomized pilot study is aimed to verify if the operative time of a TLH with pelvic lymphadenectomy for endometrial cancer FIGO stage IB-II could be reduced using Thunderbeat (an ultrasonic energy device that incises and coagulates by using ultrasonic and bipolar technology ) (Olympus Medical Systems Corp, Tokyo) vs. bipolar electrosurgery . Secondary endpoints of this comparison are incidence of intra- or postoperative complications (Cardiac, Respiratory, Neurological, Gastrointestinal, Renal, Fever, Wound or other Infection, Lymphocele), estimated blood loss, postoperative pain (evaluated by VAS), days of hospitalization and costs for the health care system.
[F-18] Fluorothymidine PET imaging will be used to create a radiation therapy treatment plan to avoid active bone marrow in the pelvis. This will be done to evaluate if sparing bone marrow will help maintain blood counts. This would impact chemotherapy administration.
Endometrial and cervical cancers are one of the most common malignancies seen in females. Identification of recurrent disease in early phases of treatment carries a primary importance on the outcome of patients. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) is a new technique recently started to be performed in body imaging and has potential ability to detect recurrent disease. The aim of this study is to investigate the diagnostic impact of DWI in detection of recurrent disease in patients treated with curative surgery in endometrial and cervical cancer.
Over 600,000 hysterectomies are performed annually in the United States. Despite increasing use of less invasive approaches, the majority of hysterectomies are still performed via traditional laparotomy, which can be associated with generally slower recovery and longer lengths of post-operative hospitalization. Rapid Recovery Protocols (RRP) seek to optimize post-surgical morbidity outcomes by returning a patient to normal physiology as quickly as possible following surgery.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn about the effects of metformin and/or a program called "lifestyle intervention" on the endometrium (inner lining of the uterus) in post-menopausal women who are also obese (both are risk factors for endometrial cancer). Researchers also want to learn how insulin levels will be affected by metformin, diet and/or exercise. Metformin is designed to treat both diabetes and insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is a condition in which the body makes insulin but does not use it properly. It is often referred to as "pre-diabetes". Many people with insulin resistance have high levels of both sugar and insulin in their blood at the same time, which have been reported in patients with endometrial cancer. In this study, metformin will be compared to a placebo. A placebo is not a drug. It looks like the study drug but is not designed to treat any disease or illness. It is designed to be compared with a study drug to learn if the study drug has any real effect. Lifestyle intervention is made up of a series of in-person sessions where you meet with a coach to discuss strategies for losing weight and ways to increase physical activity. It also consists of materials designed to help you lose weight and will offer opportunities for supervised exercise.
The folate receptor is overexpressed in many types of cancer, including ovarian and endometrial cancer, and the level of folate receptor expression increases with the stage of the disease. Technetium Tc 99m EC20 (99mTc-EC20; FolateScan), a folate-targeted diagnostic radiopharmaceutical, is designed to bind to the folate receptor. Thus, FolateScan may provide an effective method to determine folate receptor-positive (FR+) target tumors, thereby assisting in the identification of those patients who may benefit from folate-targeted therapy.
