Filter by:This clinical trial studies positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) and lymph node mapping in finding lymph node metastasis in patients with endometrial cancer that is at high risk of spreading. A PET/CT scan is a procedure that combines the pictures from a PET scan and a CT scan, which are taken at the same time from the same machine. The combined scans give more detailed pictures of areas inside the body than either scan gives by itself. Lymph node mapping uses a radioactive dye, called indocyanine green solution, to identify lymph nodes that may contain cancer cells. PET/CT and sentinel lymph node mapping may be better ways than surgery to identify cancer in the lymph nodes.
Primary Objectives: 1. To test whether the addition of chemotherapy to radiotherapy improves the progression-free survival for patients with stage I, II and IIIa malignant mixed mesodermal tumor (MMMT) of the uterus. 2. To determine the acute and late toxicity profiles associated with this treatment regimen. 3. To describe the effect of this treatment regimen on the patient's quality of life.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find out if the combination of paclitaxel and carboplatin chemotherapy can shrink or slow the growth of mixed mullerian tumors (MMMT) of the uterus.
The main purpose of this trial is to look at how elderly women (70 years of age or older) with newly diagnosed ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer manage six cycles of carboplatin and paclitaxel, what side effects they experience, and how their cancer reacts or responds to standard carboplatin and paclitaxel chemotherapy.
The optimal sequence and /or modality for adjuvant therapy in the management of Mixed Mesodermal Tumors (MMT) clearly remains to be established. The rationale for the protocol is to "sandwich" pelvic radiation with chemotherapy to decrease distant metastasis. The proposed study will sandwich radiation between the two most active chemotherapeutic agents for MMT identified to date (ifosfamide/cisplatin). By doing so, we attempt to decrease both local and distant recurrence, which may translate into an improved progression free interval and possibly even extend survival.
