Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common gynecologic malignancy in the developed countries and is the fifth most common cancer among women worldwide. Typically present well or moderately differentiated, early stage endometrioid histotype with a prognosis usually favorable. Pelvic lymph nodes (LNs) represent the most common site of extra-uterine disease in patients with clinical early stage disease and the role of lymphadenectomy in early stage EC has been one of the major controversies in gynecology oncology. Lymphadenectomy doesn't improve survival or reduce disease recurrence although supported to provide prognostic information and allowing tailoring of adjuvant therapy. Nevertheless, lymphadenectomy is not performed without serious short-term and long-term morbidity. Although surgical staging is the most accurate and standard method to determine LNs involvement, the introduction in clinical practice of a non-invasive modality that allows an accurate staging of EC would be essential. Available evidence report the accuracy of Positron Emission Tomography and Computed Tomography (PET/CT) for the detection of LN metastasis in EC with a sensitivity of 63% and specificity of 94.7%. This prospective comparative analysis between PET/CT, histological findings, and follow up data will be performed to investigate the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and accuracy of integrated PET/CT for nodal staging of EC per patient and per LN chain analyses, in women affected by intermediate (grade 1 and 2 endometrioid lesions with deep myometrial invasion > 50% or grade 3 endometrioid lesion with < 50% myometrial invasion) or high risk (grade 3 endometrioid lesion with deep myometrial invasion > 50% or non-endometrioid histotype) early-stage EC. Furthermore, the preoperative classification of EC in intermediate and high-risk class will allow to investigate its prognostic value.
This registry aims to evaluate the efficacy of using high-dose oral progestin in young women with stage I endometrial adenocarcinoma with grade 2 differentiation or superficial myometrial invasion as a fertility-sparing management.
Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological malignancy in the western world and its incidence is expected to increase in the coming years due to obesity. Major treatment modalities include surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Hormonal therapy can be considered in primary treatment if other treatment modalities are not feasible and in treatment for recurrent disease. Hormonal treatment has shown to be more effective in endometrial cancers expressing estrogen (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR). Tumor heterogeneity frequently causes loss of expression of ER and PR in metastasis compared to primary tumors. The FES PET CT scan combines PET-CT scan with an estrogen tracer, thus allowing non invasive visualisation of estrogen receptor, even in patients with metastasis that are difficult to reach for biopsy. FES PET has been shown to relate well to ER expression and to treatment response in breast cancer. This study explores the feasibility of the FES PET scan in endometrial cancer patients.
Women with genitourinary syndrome of menopause, overactive bladder, with breast or endometrial cancer are randomized to either laser treatment og sham treatment for 3 months. The randomization is stratified for estrogen treatment. The effect is evaluated by questionnaire, histology and microbiology swaps
The purpose of this study is to determine whether nivolumab plus ipilimumab are effective and safe in the treatment of sarcoma and endometrial carcinoma patients with somatic deficient MMR as a selection tool.
To clarify the critical role of glycosyltransferases, altered Mucins, and RTKs in human ovarian and endometrial neoplasms, the study will examine the immunohistochemical expression profiles of glycosyltransferases, Mucins and receptor tyrosin kinases (RTKs) family in various stages and/or histologic subtypes of human ovarian and endometrial neoplasms and tissue microarrays.
The purpose of this study is to implement a community-based combined program for early detection of breast, cervical, ovarian and endometrial cancer in low-resource countries delivered through a free standing or a mobile Well Woman Clinic. The goals of this program are to downstage cancers and improve mortality rates using low-cost early detection methods. These programs will be implemented in regions where early cancer detection strategies are not in place and cancers present at advanced stages with resultant high mortality. Currently, there are three target project sites: Cambodia (June 2011), India (June 2011), and Brazil (March 2011). Memorandums of Understanding have been secured with local health organizations in each region to establish clinic operations. Each clinic would serve an approximate target population of 100,000 amongst whom about 12,000 eligible women (4-5,000 annually) will be invited to be screened for breast and cervical cancer over a three-year time span.
RATIONALE: Studying samples of tumor tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This research study is studying at biomarkers in tissue samples from patients with stage I or stage III endometrial cancer.
