Filter by:Gynecological cancers negatively affect women's sexuality, fertility, body image, and self-perception, resulting in deterioration in their psychological health. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of logotherapy on traumatic stress symptoms, post-traumatic growth, finding meaning in life, and spiritual well-being in gynecological cancer patients. No research has yet been found that examines logotherapy's symptoms of post-traumatic stress, post-traumatic growth, the meaning of life, and the spiritual well-being of gynecological cancer patients. The study was conducted in a single-blind randomized controlled trial with 68 women with gynecological cancer. The study is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov NCT… While logotherapy interviews including seven sessions were made in the experimental group, only routine nursing care was given to the control group. The data were collected using the Personal Information Form (PIF), the Traumatic Stress Symptom Scale (TSSS), the Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), the Meaning in Life Questionnaire (MLQ), and the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS). To analyze the data, descriptive statistics and parametric-nonparametric tests were used in the analysis of the data.
The investigators propose to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and preliminary efficacy of delivering online, adaptive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided and gated stereotactic body radiation therapy for patients with recurrent or metastatic ovarian cancer on a novel, integrated Co-60 MRI treatment machine. To best assess this technology, the investigators will focus on patients that have no more than three sites of progressive disease within the central thorax, liver, and/or non-liver abdominopelvis to receive adaptive, MRI-guided and gated SBRT with MRI simulation. Patients will be treated in five fractions over one to two weeks. By adhering to strict normal tissue constraints, expected toxicity will be within the current standard of care but will allow adaptation based on daily anatomic changes. The prescription dose will be determined based on hard normal tissue constraints, and capped at 10Gy per fraction. Although the long term goal will be to achieve improved local control and disease-free survival with reduced toxicity, the present study will be driven by the short term goal of demonstrating the feasibility of this novel treatment approach for recurrent or metastatic ovarian cancer.
Prospective multicenter study that aims to evaluate the learning curve of a laparoscopic score to predict possibility of optimal cytoreduction in patients with ovarian / tubal / peritoneal advanced at the time of first surgery. The study consists of subjecting all patients with a clinical suspicion and / or radiological diagnostic laparoscopy (SLPs). Laparoscopy should be described and recorded in electronic form. After the procedure each patient will have a Laparoscopic-evaluation-form filled up with a laparoscopic score (PI). The minimum number of cases to be enrolled is 10 patients, in a minimum time of 1 year. The data collected and the video should be sent to the Center Coordinator, who will determine the adequacy of the procedure and the accuracy of the score enrollment is completed for each center. All eligible subjects will be considered by intention-to-treat population (ITT). For this phase of the study, it is not necessary know the outcome of the surgical patient (RT) or if it was then subjected to exploratory laparotomy or less.
