Filter by:This study evaluates the general physical, emotional, and sexual function in women undergoing a radical cystectomy for bladder cancer. A radical cystectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the bladder, uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and part of the vagina. This may affect sexual function in women. This study seeks to understand how radical cystectomy alters sexual function and well-being, and what factors may affect this change.
This phase III trial studies how well nutrition therapy works in improving immune system in patients with bladder cancer that can be removed by surgery. Improving nutrition before and after surgery may reduce the infections and other problems that sometimes occur after surgery.
This phase II MATCH screening and multi-sub-trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing works in patients with solid tumors, lymphomas, or multiple myelomas that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) and does not respond to treatment (refractory). Patients must have progressed following at least one line of standard treatment or for which no agreed upon treatment approach exists. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with genetic abnormalities (such as mutations, amplifications, or translocations) may benefit more from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic abnormality. Identifying these genetic abnormalities first may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors, lymphomas, or multiple myeloma.
This randomized phase III trial studies how well biologic mesh works in preventing parastomal hernia in patients with bladder cancer who are undergoing radical cystectomy, or removal of the bladder, and ileal conduit diversion. An ileal conduit is a tube created from your small intestine that will be used as a tube for urine to flow out of your body. Parastomal hernia is a type of hernia that can occur in the stomach area where the ileal conduit is placed. Biologic mesh may help prevent parastomal hernia following surgery and ileal conduit diversion.
This phase I trial studies the side effects of vaccine therapy and pembrolizumab in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment, that have failed prior therapy, and that cannot be removed by surgery. Vaccines made from a gene-modified virus may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may block tumor growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. Giving vaccine therapy together with pembrolizumab may be a better treatment in patients with solid tumors.
This partially randomized pilot clinical trial develops and studies a software program, called PatientCareAnywhere, to see whether it can help patients communicate with their doctors and other healthcare providers, and educate themselves about their cancer and treatment options. A program that can help patients learn about their cancer and treatment options, and allows the patient's healthcare providers to receive their questionnaire results, may help patients identify and get help to treat their symptoms.
