Filter by:Primary end points: This clinical trial is aimed to analyze the effectiveness of Levonorgestrel-Releasing Intrauterine System (LNG-IUS, Mirena®) in the fertility-sparing treatment of atypical endometrial hyperplasia and early endometrial carcinoma, including pathology response and pregnancy outcome. Second end points: To analyze the appearances of side-effects.
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 identified (P53, PTEN, PIK3CA, ß-catenin, K-ras ...). A study has already been carried out at the Reims University Hospital with inclusion of patients with endometrial cancer and patients with endometrial hyperplasia. It identified specific alterations of nosologic continuum of pathology and characterize areas of interest on the genome.
This pilot phase IIa trial studies how well exemestane works in treating patients with complex atypical hyperplasia of the endometrium/endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia or low grade endometrial cancer. Exemestane may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
To see if megestrol acetate plus Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) will not be inferior to returning the endometrial tissue to a normal state than megestrol acetate or LNG-IUS alone in patients with endometrial atypical hyperplasia.
Aim: Assess accuracy of histological diagnosis using ultrasound guided biopsy for women with suspected endometrial cancer (as an alternative to hysteroscopy guided biopsy). All women presenting to clinic with suspected endometrial cancer will have an internal ultrasound. If the endometrial lining is thickened an endometrial biopsy will be performed. This can sometimes be done in an outpatient clinic, or sometimes a hysteroscopy and biopsy is needed (on a different day). Hysteroscopy guided biopsy has the advantage of enabling the clinician to perform directed biopsies under vision. Ultrasound guided biopsy is a ubiquitous procedure when used elsewhere in the body however it is not routinely used in this context. It does have the advantage of being easily performed on the same day as the first consultation. In this pilot study we will assess the diagnostic ability and tolerability of ultrasound guided biopsy of women with suspected cancer, as an alternative to hysteroscopy guided biopsy.
Aim: Determine if Rapid Evaporative Ionization Mass Spectrometry (the iKnife); can diagnose cancer and pre-cancer from endometrial tissue biopsy samples. Women attending a gynaecology clinic for assessment of abnormal bleeding will receive an pelvic (internal) ultrasound as routine standard of care. If any abnormalities are detected, a tissue sample will be needed. If women are agreeable a second tissue sample will be taken for research. The first will be analysed by conventional means (histopathology). The second sample with new technology called the 'iKnife'. This is a modified type of Mass spectrometry device, that separates particles based on their mass charge ratio. The idea being that if tissue is burnt, gas is produced, and this gas contains lots of ions that can be analysed by the iKnife. Each type of tissue (cancer or non-cancer) will have a unique signature that the iKnife can use to distinguish between samples. If effective it could be used in future outpatient clinics to provide a one-stop, true point of care diagnosis.
Aim: Assess the diagnostic accuracy of 3D Ultrasound, compared to MRI and final histology with respect to myometrial invasion of endometrial cancer. This study will assess whether 3D ultrasound is accurate at predicting myometrial invasion aqnd lymph node metastasis of endometrial cancer. All patients will receive routine standard of care (MRI). The results of the 3D ultrasound will be compared to the MRI report and final histology.
Two hundred & forty patients aged from 40 to 50 years - complaining of heavy menstrual bleeding that is unresponsive to hormonal lines of treatment & requesting conservative surgical approach- were randomized into 3 groups; group A (Surgicel group) in which 80 patients underwent formal curettage followed by insertion of 4 pieces of Surgicel inside the uterine cavity, group B (Thermal balloon ablation group) in which 80 patients underwent thermal balloon ablation using bipolar radiofrequency electrical energy (Novasure), group C (Endometrial resection group) in which 80 patients underwent transcervical Hysteroscopic endometrial resection.All patients were followed up over duration of 18 months following the procedure (at 3,6,12 & 18 months). Primary outcome included amenorrhea rates
To evaluate the difference of three vaginal estrogens creams comparative with placebo on improvement of hormonal cytology, local and systemic climacteric complaints, as well as its endometrial security.
The purpose of the study is to determine serum irisin hormone levels an its relation between endometrial hyperplasia
