Patients will be randomized to a unimodal or trimodal prehabilitation program prior to surgery for known or suspected gynecologic cancer.
The purpose of this study is to investigate how robotic assisted laparoscopic surgery affects the quality of life of women who are treated with primary surgery for endometrial cancer. So far, very little has been published and basically no long-term follow-up. Included patients respond to questionnaires preoperatively, 2 weeks after surgery and 3 months and 12 months after surgery. Each patient thus answers the questionnaires (the same) on four occasions. The questionnaires used are validated and used extensively internationally. The first survey has two parts, QLQ30 and the module for endometrial cancer EN24. In addition the study includes use PHQ -9 and GAD 7.
The lymph nodes involvement is one of the most important prognostic factors in endometrial (EC) and cervical cancer (CC). Indeed, the lymph node involvement in cancer patients modifies the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage and plays a pivotal role in the choice of the adjuvant therapy. Since the modern imaging techniques are not yet able to accurately detect lymph nodes metastasis, pelvic systematic lymphadenectomy has still an important role and it still represents the gold standard in EC and CC. The sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy, which is a standard practice in breast cancer and melanoma, is often used in some early stage gynaecological cancers such as EC and CC. Indocyanine green (ICG) is the most used tracer for the detection of SLN in gynaecological cancer, especially in laparoendoscopic setting. ICG allows a complete visualization of the lymphatic drainage and, for this reason, it may be used even in systematic pelvic lymphadenectomy to guide the surgeon during the procedure. Several studies have demonstrated an advantage of the ICG-guided lymphadenectomy in other types of cancers, showing a higher number of lymph nodes removed with this technique when compared to standard lymphadenectomy (without ICG). To date, there is no published study about ICG-guided systematic pelvic lymphadenectomy in EC and CC. In this scenario, the aim of this study will be to compare systematic ICG-guided pelvic lymphadenectomy and standard lymphadenectomy in EC and CC.
The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility and efficacy of the v-NOTES approach for extremely obese patients with early-stage type 1 endometrial cancer.
Explore the randomized, controlled, double-blind design targeted for the final clinical trial to assess the acceptability of interventions and clinical outcome measures and to provide data making it possible to estimate the parameters necessary for the preparation, modification or even abandonment of the final study.
Prevention of infectious diseases through immunization is one of the greatest achievements of modern medicine. Nonetheless, considerable challenges remain for improving the efficacy of existing vaccines for therapeutic immunizations for diseases such as cancer. The investigators were amongst the first groups worldwide that introduced tumor antigen-loaded dendritic cell (DC)-based vaccines in the clinic1-3. Effective immune responses and favorable clinical outcomes have indeed been observed4-7. Thus far, mainly conventional in vitro generated monocyte-derived DCs (moDC) have been used in clinical trials worldwide. In the past 14 years the investigators have treated more than 375 patients and proven that DC therapy is feasible and non-toxic. The investigators observed that long lasting tumor specific T cell-mediated immunological responses are clearly linked to increased progression free survival as well as overall survival8. In conclusion, based on all these observations the investigators are convinced that pDC and myDC employ different, and probably more optimal mechanisms to combat cancer. In addition, based on in vitro data and preclinical studies that suggest that blood pDC and myDC act synergistically, the investigators hypothesize that the combination of myDC and pDC may induce stronger anti-tumor immune responses as compared to pDC or myDC alone, or moDC.
To compare the incidence of lymphocele in Endometrial cancer patients with thrombin gel matrix used and not used during pelvic lymph node dissection.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SYD985 in recurrent, advanced or metastatic endometrial cancer.
The purpose of this study is to investigate thiol‑disulfide balance in early stage endometrium cancer patients.
