Filter by:This phase II trial studies how well Akt inhibitor MK2206 works in treating patients with recurrent or advanced endometrial cancer. Akt inhibitor MK2206 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This is an open label and single arm study to investigate the safety and efficacy of BEZ235 in adult women with endometrial carcinoma whose disease progressed (or recurred) while on or after first-line antineoplastic treatment for advanced endometrial carcinoma.
This is a prospective multi-center, open-label, single arm, Phase II study to investigate the safety and efficacy of BKM120 in patients with advanced endometrial carcinoma whose disease progressed on or after a first-line antineoplastic treatment. Patients will receive BKM120 orally at a dose of 100 mg/day. Availability of tumor specimen (either archival tissue or a fixed fresh biopsy) is mandatory for assessment of the PI3K (Phosphatidylinositol 3 Kinase (PI3K) pathway activation status.
Objective: To examine the risk factors for coexisting endometrial carcinoma in patients with endometrial hyperplasia. Method: Seventy-seven patients who received hysterectomy for endometrial hyperplasia were enrolled and divided into the non-endometrial carcinoma group (57) and the endometrial carcinoma group (20) depending on the final pathology. Clinical variables were analyzed.
The database and biobank establishment started in 1997 in our institute. However, the sample size was too small with respect to our clinical and fundamental scientific research's requirement. Thus the Chinese gynecological oncology study (GOS) group was established to create a large multicentre database and biobank of patients with gynecologic diseases.
P16 is a tumor suppressor protein implicated in serous papillary endometrial carcinoma. Evidence from previous trials indicates that it may be used as a diagnostic biomarker distinguishing this disease from endometrioid endometrial cancer. Additional evidence points to its prognostic value. The current study will evaluate p16 both as a diagnostic tool for serous papillary endometrial cancer and as a prognostic biomarker. following anonymization, histology blocks will be microtomed and stained for P16 and P53 proteins. Blocks from endometrioid endometrial cancer will be used as a control group.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether narrowband imaging (NBI) makes it easier for a surgeon to see cancer. NBI is a kind of light. Normally, white light is used during surgery. White light uses many wavelengths of light. NBI only uses two wavelengths which highlight the blood vessels. This makes it easier for the surgeon to see blood vessels. Tumors often have more blood vessels than normal tissue. As a result, NBI may make it easier for the surgeon to see small tumors. In this study the surgeon will look with both normal white light and NBI. This way a comparison can be made to determine which is superior. Improved identification of tumors allows doctors and patients to make informed decisions about whether treatment is needed after surgery. It also provides additional information to determine which treatments may be best.
The purpose of this study is to: - Test the safety of a new investigational drug called MK-8669 (ridaforolimus) - Determine the maximum tolerated dose of MK-8669 - Determine the effectiveness of the maximum tolerated dose of MK-8669
The purpose of the protocol is to determine the effect of BN83495 on the progression of endometrial cancer with estrogen receptor in post menopausal women who had previously received chemotherapy.
Patients with stage 1 & 2 endometrial cancer are treated with surgery. Despite the fact that disease is confound to uterus, unfortunately some of these patients may relapse and die of their disease. Postoperative radiotherapy cannot improve survival. Chemotherapy has shown survival benefit in more advanced stage disease (stage 3 & 4). This study evaluates if one can improve survival in intermediate and high risk early-stage patients by offering them postoperative chemotherapy. This is a randomized phase 3 trial where effect of postoperative chemotherapy is compared with postoperative observation alone (standard strategy). Substudy: Translational research
