The Global Gynaecological Oncology Surgical Outcomes Collaborative (GO SOAR) will develop a network of gynaecological oncology surgeons, surgical departments and other interested parties that will have the long-term ability to collaborate on outcome studies. The aims of the Collaborative are to: 1. Set the research agenda through research prioritisation in gynaecological oncology surgical outcomes. 2. Gather high quality data via a centralised database accessible to all sites that perform gynaecological oncology surgery. 3. Build sustainable international research by producing protocols/guidelines. 4. Train the researchers and leaders of tomorrow by providing open access to all GO SOAR training materials. The Collaborative will lead to several studies. The first GO SOAR collaborative study (GO SOAR1) will evaluate international variation of post-operative morbidity and mortality following gynaecological oncology surgery between country groups defined by the human development index (HDI).
The investigators hypothesize that an increase in dietary fiber intake during radiation therapy may provide better long-term intestinal health for the cancer survivor. If the hypothesis is not correct, the increased intake may only mean an increase in acute side effects. All participants are advised to consume at least 16 g of dietary fiber/day via food. In addition, participants are invited to take capsules that together contain either 5.5 g of dietary fiber from psyllium husk or placebo.
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) offers the possibility of accessing the tumor genome from circulating blood through a simple blood test. It is currently used for diagnostic, prognostic and predictive purposes of response or resistance to oncological treatments. These advances in ctDNA have been made possible by major developments in molecular biology techniques in recent years, as the detection of ctDNA requires very sensitive techniques such as Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). CtDNA overcomes this problem of very limiting tumor heterogeneity during a solid biopsy. All of these applications make circulating DNA an increasingly essential tool in the management of cancer patients. The studies are currently in most cases on small numbers and are retrospective. In addition, exosomes are also a biomarker of the future that can also be detected in the bloodstream . Exosomes are nanovesicles 50 to 200 nm in diameter released into the extracellular environment via the endosomal pathway by fusion with the plasma membrane. They are very informative since they transport tumor genetic material in the form of DNA, mRNA and miRNA, but also adhesion proteins, immunostimulatory molecules and cytoskeleton, enzymes and Heats shock proteins ( HSP). The aim of the ADIGYN study is to set up a large prospective cohort to assess the diagnostic, prognostic and predictive impact of ctDNA and exosomes in digestive and gynecological / breast cancers. From the circulating DNA, we characterize the ActDNA on the molecular level thanks to the study of different point mutations usually used but also of new described mutations having a therapeutic impact and the search for other genetic alterations having an impact on the therapeutic strategy (such as microsatellite instability) or the study of exosomes and their composition. To assess resistance to oncological treatments, ctDNA will be analyzed at the start of treatment, during treatment, during progression and / or relapse and also during monitoring or treatment break
Patients with endometrial cancer who will be undergoing surgery or patients with cervical cancer who will be treated with chemoradiation will be randomized to utilize the Headspace smartphone application or not prior to their anticipated treatment.
This is a randomized open-label multicentre Phase III superiority study of the effect of adding SBRT to the standard of care treatment on overall survival in patients with rare oligometastatic cancers. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio between current standard of care treatment vs. standard of care treatment + SBRT to all sites of known metastatic disease. The primary objective of this trial is to assess if the addition of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) to standard of care treatment improves overall survival (OS) as compared to standard of care treatment alone in patients with rare oligometastatic cancers.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of food supplements (herbal remedies) on sign and symptoms induced by cancer therapies: Nettle will be administered for improvement of anemia and fatigue; Peppermint will be administered for improvement of nausea. Secondary aims of the trial are to evaluate the impact of these supplements on the quality of life and to evaluate their tolerability profile.
This study protocol evaluates the use of hysteroscopic endomyometrial resection in women diagnosed with atypical endometrial hyperplasia or grade I endometrial cancer who have not responded to anti-hormone therapy. Patients in this study wish to preserve fertility.
This study will investigate the effects of atezolizumab on select cancer types in people whose analysis of tumour DNA and RNA indicates they may be sensitive to atezolizumab. This study aims to determine if the information from the cancer genome analysis corresponds with the effects of atezolizumab on individuals and their cancer. This is a Phase 2 study, which is undertaken after preliminary safety testing on a drug is completed, and will involve approximately 200 participants. Participants are assigned to one of 8 cohorts based on their primary tumour type: breast, lung, gastrointestinal (GI), primary unknown, genitourinary (GU), sarcoma, gynecological, and 'other' cancer types. Participants in all cohorts will receive the same dose of atezolizumab (1200 mg every 3 weeks). In the first stage for each cohort, 8 participants will be enrolled and if no participants respond to treatment, enrollment to that cohort will be closed. If 1 or more participants respond to treatment, up to 16 additional participants will be enrolled to that cohort. Participants continue on treatment until they no longer may benefit from the treatment or they decide to stop treatment.
This study compares traditional follow-up of gynaecological cancer patients to an alternative follow-up model. In the alternative follow-up model the patients will meet a nurse at every second consultation. The nurse will focus on psychosocial health and educate the patients in the use of a study specific smartphone-application.
