Filter by:The aim of the current Project is to study the efficacy of a probiotic Product in reducing the symptoms of gastrointestinal toxicity linked to the irradiation of gynecologic cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of specific bone marrow maps developed with18F-FLT PET/CT imaging on the ability to spare proliferating bone marrow using proton beam radiotherapy compared to IMRT. Participants will be 18 years of age or old with a history of gynecologic cancer. Subjects will undergo 3 FLT-PET scans (one before treatment, one during the course of RT, and one 2-5 weeks after initiation of RT). Scans will take place in the Department of Radiation Oncology.
The purpose of this study is to assess the level of knowledge of surgery for women who underwent hysterectomy
The effect of clamping the indwelling urethral catheter before removal is an unsettled issue in clinical practice. No studies have done before in the patients with gynecologic cancers who received radical hysterectomy. We hypothesized that clamping the catheter would decrease the rate of recatheterization. In addition, the feeling of urination during clamping is correlated with lower rate of recatheterization after removal.
The purpose of this study is to identify the incidence,feature,clinical significance for leg lymphedema after gynecologic cancer treatment.
Hypotheses and Specific Aims: There is limited data on the long-term consequences of cancer therapy on young, reproductively aged cancer survivors. The investigators objective is to characterize some of these effects in the cancer population.
Pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) is an important step in the surgical staging and treatment of gynecologic malignancies. Sometimes, complicated lymphoceles after PLND often delay adjuvant treatment including chemotherapy and radiation therapy, which potentially affects the success of cancer treatment. A number of surgical techniques have developed, but failed to reduce the incidence of pelvic lymphoceles after PLND. The investigators hypothesized that floseal can prevent lymphoceles in patients with gynecologic cancer who has undergone PLND. The investigators designed prospective randomized controlled study as a pilot study. The investigators will randomly apply floseal to one side of pelvis after bilateral PLND, and observe the occurence of pelvic lymphoceles after 6 months later.
Subjects that have received medical treatment for ovarian cancer can be both physically and emotionally demanding for patients. The purpose of this study is to determine whether two common pyschological interventions (Communication Skills Intervention and Supportive Counseling) may improve the well-being of ovarian cancer patients compared to usual care.
The primary outcome is the change in lower extremity edema-related symptoms. Secondary outcomes include the compliance rate of management guidelines for lower extremity edema, the performance rate for pelvic and lower extremity exercise.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether using computerized screening questions can improve how well we manage symptoms related to cancer and cancer treatments. Advance care planning is a process in which teams of experts assist in with treatment plans, managing pain and other symptoms, emotional issues, and end of life issues. With advances in technology, it is now possible to get the patient's feedback directly and more often. It is thought that repeated questionnaires completed by the patient will provide a better and more accurate measure of the patient's needs and experiences but this has not been tested. This study is designed to learn if using a computerized assessment repeatedly is better than standard planning techniques.
