View clinical trials related to Endometrial Neoplasms.
Filter by:Endometrial cancer is the most common malignant disease of the female genital tract and the seventh most common cause of cancer death in women in Western countries. Histological type, grade and depth of myometrial invasion are prognostic factors in early stage disease as well as risk factors for lymph node metastasis. Systematic lymphadenectomy has recently been questioned for stage I disease based on the results from two randomized trials
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of pre-operative counseling in a group setting on patient reported anxiety for patients scheduled to undergo surgery for a known or suspected gynecologic malignancy. Patient reported anxiety will be evaluated using a validated Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) survey. We hypothesize that the group counseling session will reduce patient reported anxiety by a clinical meaningful level. Secondary objectives will evaluate the effect of the intervention on patient reported depression levels and compare adherence to Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) instructions, utilization of unscheduled health care resources, and anxiety/depression levels to historical controls.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the spread of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC) during surgery in endometrial cancer. Although this cancer is often discovered at early stage, the risk of recurrence is estimated at 6 to 21%, according to grade. Early stage tumor is accessible for curative surgical treatment by laparoscopy but this kind of surgery may induce CTCs spread, and could be an explanation of this recurrence. Through this study, concordance between two blood punction sites, peripheral vein and ovarian vein, will be evaluated to detect these cells during surgery.
This study is a retrospective study to investigate the association between body fat distribution and sarcopenia on CT-scan and oncological outcomes in endometrial cancer patients
This phase 2 clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of Fulvestrant, an ER-antagonist, in women with estrogen receptor positive (ER+) low-grade gynecological cancers. The primary objective is to determine the response rate (RR) to Fulvestrant, defined by partial or complete response according to RECIST v1.1 criteria. Secondary objectives include assessing progression-free survival (PFS) over 3 years, clinical benefit (CB), duration of response, safety and tolerability, and quality of life (QoL) in each tumor type group. Exploratory objectives involve evaluating the feasibility of 18F-FES PET imaging for detecting ER expression, the predictive value of sequential 18F-FES PET scans for treatment response, and collecting tumor biopsies and cf-DNA for genetic analysis to identify adaptive response mechanisms to Fulvestrant.
A prospective cohort study at a Tertiary University Hospital. From January to December 2018, we enrolled women with the following criteria: abnormal uterine bleeding in post-menopause, endometrial thickening in pre-or post-menopause; tamoxifen usage. Patients underwent office hysteroscopy with a 5-mm continuous-flow hysteroscope and endometrial biopsies were taken using miniaturized instruments. Senior operators had to foresee histopathological diagnosis using a questionnaire. Histopathological examination was conducted to confirm the diagnosis.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a 12-month comprehensive weight management program on weight change in overweight/obese patients following treatment for endometrial cancer. During the study period, subjects will be monitored for recurrence during routine clinic visits A secondary exploratory purpose of this study will be to evaluate the gut microbiome in this intervention group and the changes that may occur while participating in a weight loss and weight management program.
The investigators think that trans-cervical endometrial tracer injection will cause more paraaortic sentinel lymph node detection. Also, this application is easy, cost-effective and safer than hysteroscopic method. Transtubal tumor spearing will not occur with this method.
This is an interventional trial to introduce two short animated videos into preoperative counseling/consent and to compare patient comprehension and satisfaction with a multimedia approach compared to standard of care currently. The investigators anticipate that patients will retain more information about their surgery and peri-operative care and will be more satisfied with a multimedia approach.
A history of breast cancer is a risk factor for the development of endometrial pathologies, such as typical and atypical glandular hyperplasia, endometrial polyps, uterine fibroids, endometrial adenocarcinoma and uterine sarcoma, probably due to some common risk factors (eg. obesity, nulliparity). Even if ethiopathogenesis for breast cancer and endometrial pathologies is not well established, both genetic factors and hyperestrogenic state may be play a pivotal role for their development. Indeed, relative hyperestrogenism is also the main target for the treatment of breast cancer. Currently used therapies for this purpose are selective estrogen receptor (ER) modulators (SERMs), such as Tamoxifen (TAM), and third generation non-steroidal aromatase inhibitors (AIs), such as letrozole and anastrozole. TAM has both agonist and antagonist properties, depending upon the individual target organ and circulating levels of serum estrogens: on the one hand, it blocks estrogen stimulation in breast tissue; on the other hand, TAM shows an ER agonist activity in the endometrium that is able to stimulate proliferation and, in some cases, it causes an increased risk of uterine pathologies. Women with hormone-dependent breast cancer have to use TAM for five to ten years. Many reports suggest that the risk of uterine pathologies increases with the time of administration. Considering these elements, the primary aim of this study will be to investigate the incidence of endometrial pathologies, especially of endometrial cancer, in different groups of breast cancer women undergoing diagnostic hysteroscopy.
