Filter by:Uterine serous carcinoma (USC) accounts for up to 40% of endometrial cancer-related deaths. Patients with USC share many genomic and clinical characteristics with patients who has serous ovarian cancer. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of maintenance Niraparib regimen in patients with advanced or platinum sensitive recurrent uterine serous carcinoma. Additionally, the investigators aim to further describe the safety of this regimen. The investigators hypothesize that Niraparib maintenance will be a well-tolerated treatment and show significant response in patients with uterine serous carcinoma.
Patients with inoperable endometrial cancer have limited treatment options. PD-L1 expression is common in endometrial cancers and RT induces tumor and systemic changes that induce the immune system. The purpose of this trial is to evaluate anti-PD-1/PD-L1 axis therapy in conjunction of standard of care RT for patients with inoperable endometrial cancer in order to establish the safety and efficacy of inducing an anti-tumor immune response.
This proposal will pilot a weight management program for patients with endometrial cancer, the cancer most associated with obesity. If successful, this pilot could be expanded to include obese women with other gynecologic cancers (ovarian and cervical) and could be expanded and adapted for use not only upon completion of treatment, but during chemotherapy or radiation. Furthermore, other obstetricians and gynecologists could use this strategy for obese women as a practical cancer prevention strategy for obesity-associated cancers.
Selective lymphadenectomy Sentinel (LSS). This technique is already well established in breast cancer and melanoma and more recently in vulvar and cervical cancer. Compared to lymphadenectomy, it has several theoretical advantages: - this is a sensitive technique with a detection rate of> 90% and a false negative rate of <5%. - the anatomopathological techniques used (immunohistochemistry with anti-cytokeratin antibodies, serial sections) are more sensitive than the standard histological analysis of lymphadenectomy, which allows an improvement in the detection of metastases (micro-metastases, isolated tumor cells). In the SENTI-ENDO study, it was possible to detect lymph node metastases in 11% of patients with low-risk endometrial cancer and in 15% of intermediate-risk patients. - it avoids short-term and long-term operative and post-operative morbidity of lymphadenectomy. Early studies of LSS in endometrial cancer demonstrated superior efficacy of the colorimetric method coupled with the Technetium 99m isotopic method with an overall detection rate of 78% [95% CI: 73-84]. The fluorescent green of indocyanine appears to give better results with an overall detection rate of 94% and a bilateral detection rate of 80%. It seemed useful to take stock of this technique using this new dye.
Medical context: Several molecular studies showed chromosomal alterations in patients with endometrial cancer, with gains in 1q, 19p, 19q, 8q, 10q and 10p and loss of 4q, 16q and 18q. Several genes of interest have been dentified (P53, PTEN, PIK3CA, ß-catenin, K-ras ...). It is thus conceivable that like that enable genomic tools used in breast cancer today (Oncotype DX, MammaPrint), correlation between the tumor profile and life project in the case of cancer the endometrium could be done. A study is already underway at the Reims University Hospital with funding from the League against cancer and AOL in 2010 CHU Reims. It should identify the specific alterations of nosologic continuum of pathology and characterize areas of interest on the genome. To date, 39 patients with endometrial cancer and 15 patients with endometrial hyperplasia (patients 'cases') were included in the study. For this study, 10 patients exhibiting neither cancer nor endometrial hyperplasia were also included. Samples of these 10 patients 'witnesses' were pooled to serve as a reference for analyzing patients 'cases'. objectives: In continuation of the study began in November 2009, refine the study of genomic imbalances highlighted hyperplasia and endometrial cancer by studying the in correlation between genomics and proteomics by immunohistochemical studies and analyzing the microsatellite instability. To study the prognostic role of genetic factors in patients carriers of a disease endometrial (cancer or hyperplasia). Material and methods : Experimental Design: Cross-sectional study in inclusion prospective multi-center followed by a cohort study of patients 'cases'. Population / patients: in total, it is planned to include 72 patients with hyperplasia or endometrial cancer (22 patients included in the pre-study part funded by the League against cancer 50 patients included in the scope of the study funded by the 2010 AOL Chu Reims). Plan of investigation: the study includes two phases: Sectional study: The inclusion of 10 patients "witnesses" has already been completed in the first project. During the consultation in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the Reims University Hospital and the surgical department of the institute Jean Godinot, terms and objectives of the study have been and will be presented to patients where cancer or hyperplasia endometrial was diagnosed by achieving endometrial biopsy. If the patient agrees to participate in the study, the management of its pathology (hysterectomy, hysteroscopy and curettage resection) will not be changed. The samples taken during the surgery were analyzed and will be as provided in the first research project. Tumor karyotype, DNA extraction are performed on each sample fresh. A comparative genomic hybridization is conducted using the DNAs thus obtained. Additional analyzes (immunohistochemistry and analysis of microsatellite instability) will be performed on all samples already obtained and on future withdrawals.
The use of robotic surgery in the management of gynecologic cancers has increased exponentially in the United States since the implementation of technology in 2005. In Canada, access to the system is limited because of a lack of government funding. The government has been reluctant to fund this technology because robust data, on the true impact to patient care, is lacking. This project will prospectively examine outcomes of women, with early stage endometrial cancer, treated surgically. Open surgery will be compared to minimally invasive surgery (MIS) which will include conventional laparoscopy and robotic surgery. The data collected will include detailed assessment of surgical data, peri-operative events, quality of life analysis, health economic evaluation and evaluation of MIS rates.
The intent of this protocol is to screen a new agent for activity in patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial carcinoma. This phase II trial is studying how well pemetrexed disodium works in treating patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial carcinoma.
