Filter by:Some types of chemotherapy used to treat breast cancer can cause damage to nerves with symptoms like tingling, numbness, muscle weakness, and pain in the hands and feet that can last and can affect functioning. The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of yoga on reducing symptoms caused by such nerve damage.
Omentum is adipose tissue lying under inner anterior wall Omentectomy is routine procedure in treatment of gynecological malignancy especially ovarian cancer and some advanced stage endometrial cancer. Perilipin, Leptin, Adipolipin, Adiponectin, Resistin, Visfatin, Estrone secrete from adipose tissue. These regulate matabolic process. We aimed comparison of Perilipin, Leptin, Adipolipin, Adiponectin, Resistin, Visfatin, Estrone levels derivated from adipose tissue pre-postoperatively in patient diagnosed with gynecological malignancy performed omentectomy or not
The Stanford Cancer Center is undertaking a Transformation Initiative in order to improve the quality of care and care coordination across the continuum of care. The newest innovation is to introduce lay navigators to specified high-need patients. The larger goal of the project is to assess whether lay navigators can address non-clinical patient needs in a timely fashion and appropriately connect them with their clinical team when warranted. It is expected that proactive interaction with patients will decrease patient anxiety/stress related to their cancer and facilitate higher patient engagement and improved management of physical, social,and emotional health. For the pilot project, the smaller goal is to understand: how lay navigator time is used; the types and frequency of issues brought up by patients; resources that patients are given or referred to; type and frequency of mode of contact with patients; and patients' acceptance of navigators based on refusal. An electronic intake form will be used to collect this information so that data can be analyzed regularly to inform changes to the navigator program as needed.
The study aim was to compare the effectiveness of combined training (CT; aerobic + resistance exercises) and high-intensity interval body weight training (HIITBW) on body composition, metabolic and inflammatory profile, physical function and quality of life in older women with gynecological and breast cancer and their pair-matched controls (older women with no cancer). The hypothesis of the present clinical trial is that HIITBW is effective as well as CT for improvements on body composition, metabolic and inflammatory profile, physical function and quality of life in older women with gynecological and breast cancer.
The era of precision medicine is an exciting time for clinicians, scientists and patients alike. The increasing appreciation and identification of specific mutations that drive cancers, leaves us on the threshold of a new era in which biomarkers will be used to direct targeted agents to only those patients most likely to respond. The potential medical and scientific benefits of such a personalised approach to cancer therapy are immense. However, a number of barriers challenge successful implementation of this approach of which spatial and temporal heterogeneity are a major concern. Gynaecological cancers are a major cause of mortality and morbidity internationally. In Auckland 150 new patients with ovarian, endometrial or cervical cancer are seen by a medical oncologist each year. In general, when these diseases recur, there are few effective therapeutic options and prognosis is poor. Better therapeutic targets and treatments are an unmet need across these tumour types with treatment paradigms still based upon platinum based therapy. PROSPER (Profiling of Oncology Patients as part of Clinical care and Research) will investigate the evolution of gynaecological cancers over time and in response to treatment to develop better biomarkers to guide treatment decisions and ultimately improve patient outcomes. Biopsies at relapse will be collected and profiled with a 580 cancer gene panel. Circulating tumour DNA will be collected and analysed alongside biopsies as a potential non-invasive alternative. Linking genomic and clinical data will allow us to learn more to begin to change our paradigm of care.
This is an open label feasibility pilot study of commercially available physical activity monitoring devices in patients receiving systemic therapy at the Harold Simmons Cancer Center, UT Southwestern Medical Center.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of a new drug, IPH2201, to see what effects it has on this type of cancer.
The study will evaluate the incidence of major bleeding (including clinically relevant non-major (CRNM) bleeding) events in women undergoing surgery for gynecologic cancer with apixaban 2.5 mg twice a day (BID) compared to current standard of care, subcutaneous enoxaparin 40 mg once a day (QD) for 28 days post surgery.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of specific bone marrow maps developed with18F-FLT PET/CT imaging on the ability to spare proliferating bone marrow using proton beam radiotherapy compared to IMRT. Participants will be 18 years of age or old with a history of gynecologic cancer. Subjects will undergo 3 FLT-PET scans (one before treatment, one during the course of RT, and one 2-5 weeks after initiation of RT). Scans will take place in the Department of Radiation Oncology.
The purpose of this study is to identify the incidence,feature,clinical significance for leg lymphedema after gynecologic cancer treatment.
