Filter by:Cancer patients may develop side effects during treatment, such as nausea, pain, fatigue, diarrhea, constipation, or shortness of breath. These symptoms may be due to the cancer itself, or due to treatments like chemotherapy drugs or radiation therapy. Doctors and nurses often ask patients about their symptoms, because an important part of cancer treatment is to make patients feel as well as possible. If patients do not feel well, the investigators may need to change the way the investigators are treating you or prescribe therapies that will decrease your symptoms. The best way to find out how you are feeling is to ask you directly. However, during your time between appointments the investigators may not be able to ask you how you are feeling on a regular basis. In addition, even at an appointment, there may be symptoms that the investigators do not have a chance to discuss. The investigators are interested in developing new ways to ask patients about how they are feeling, using the Internet. A special new website called STAR ("Symptom Tracking and Reporting for Patients") has been developed to help patients record this information, so that their doctors and nurses can review it during clinic appointments. This study is designed to help us see if STAR is a helpful way for us to keep track of information about patients' symptoms and quality of life.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate vaccine immunogenicity and how well the body tolerates V504 when given with Gardasil.
This research study is evaluating a drug called avastin in combination with standard radiation as a possible treatment for treatment for recurrent pelvic-confined gynecological cancer (i.e. endometrial, cervical, vulvar, ovarian or vaginal cancers).
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and immunogenicity of V503 in comparison to GARDASIL. The primary hypotheses tested in the study were 1) V503 administered to 16- to 26-year-old adolescents and young women is generally well-tolerated, 2) V503 reduces combined incidence of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Type 31/33/45/52/58-related disease compared with GARDASIL, and 3) V503 induces non-inferior geometric mean titers for HPV Type 6/11/16/18 antibodies compared with GARDASIL.
Primary Objectives: 1. Determine the feasibility of using pretreatment lymphoscintigraphy to identify the sentinel lymph node(s) in patients with vaginal cancer dispositioned to receive radiation therapy. 2. Determine the feasibility of using preoperative lymphoscintigraphy and intraoperative lymphatic mapping to identify the sentinel lymph node(s) in patients with vaginal cancer dispositioned to undergo surgery and bilateral lymph node dissection.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of V505 in comparison to GARDASIL (TM)
RATIONALE: Fondaparinux may help prevent blood clots from forming in patients who are undergoing surgery for gynecologic cancer. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well fondaparinux works in preventing blood clots in patients undergoing surgery for gynecologic cancer.
Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as 3-AP and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. 3-AP may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. 3-AP and cisplatin may make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Giving 3-AP and external-beam radiation therapy together with cisplatin may kill more tumor cells. This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of 3-AP when given together with external-beam radiation therapy with or without cisplatin in treating patients with gynecologic cancer
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Docetaxel may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving daily doses of docetaxel may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of docetaxel in treating patients with refractory or recurrent advanced gynecologic cancer.
The purpose of this study is to examine whether an Individualized Symptom Education Program (ISEP) is helpful to women to manage their symptoms when they are receiving radiation therapy for gynecological cancer. It is expected that women who participate in the ISEP program will be better able to manage their symptoms and exprience less distress than women who receive usual care.
