Breast Cancer Clinical Trial
Official title:
Laser Treatment of Genito-urinary Syndrome in Women With Breast and Endometrial Cancer and Menopausal Women
Women with genitourinary syndrome of menopause, overactive bladder, with breast or endometrial cancer are randomized to either laser treatment og sham treatment for 3 months. The randomization is stratified for estrogen treatment. The effect is evaluated by questionnaire, histology and microbiology swaps

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Visual analogue score on vaginal symptoms | 10-cm VAS to measure the overall satisfaction with vaginal symptoms, where the left extreme of the scale indicated ' the worst level of satisfaction ' and the right indicated ' the best level of satisfaction | three months | |
Secondary | histopathology | Qualitative analysis of the microscopic and ultrastructural aspects of the collagenic and elastic components of the matrix is performed. A specific image analysis with computerized morphometry is performed to demonstrate the specific action of CO2 laser and possibly to correlate the modifications of the ultrastructural pattern with specific molecular modifications. We also consider the fine cytological aspects of connective tissue proper cells, particularly fibroblasts, under the conditions of the specific laser stimulation. | three months | |
Secondary | microbiology | a sterile swab is inserted into the vaginal canal and a sample obtained from the posterior fornix of the vagina. Vaginal samples are placed in a transport gel (Stuart). pH indicator strips (MColorpHastTM, Merck, Germany) are applied against the lateral vaginal wall using sterile forceps, followed by a vaginal lavage for wet mount. Smears from vaginal samples are placed on a glass slide, observed under microscope for Trichomonas vaginalis and Candida species and stained afterwards according to standard Gram stain procedure. Cultures for aerobic and anaerobic bacteria species are performed, using MacConkey agar, blood agar, Sabouraud dextrose agar, chocolate agar as culture media, focusing on bacteria with potential clinical impact (e.g. aerobic vaginitis39, UTIs, vaginal candidiasis). | three months |
