Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare the impact of different hemostasis methods during laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy on ovarian function and fertility in women with benign ovarian cysts.
After implementation of systematic image description of adnexal masses, we aim to improve and evaluate our use of available imaging methods and biomarkers for classifying adnexal masses and distinguishing between benign and malignant adnexal masses in the hands of clinicians in Central Denmark Region. Secondarily, we want to improve our management of adnexal masses by evaluating the complications and longitudinal changes in conservatively managed adnexal masses. Data is registered prospectively but analyzed retrospectively.
This project investigates circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in patients with suspected ovarian malignancy. We hypothesize that measurement of ctDNA in women with suspected ovarian cancer can improve the diagnostic efficiency for preoperative differentiation between benign and malignant masses. Specifically, we hope to determine the diagnostic efficiency of ctDNA alone and ctDNA in combination with imaging modalities (ultrasonography, MRI, PET-CT) and CA 125 for preoperative differentiation between benign and malignant adnexal masses. Based on this, we hope to develop an improved diagnostic algorithm. The mutational profile and relation to tumour type, stage, treatment response and prognosis will be explored. Analyses of blood and tissue samples will be used to examine the disease development and biology. Blood samples, tumour tissue and data on imaging modalities as well as CA 125 will be collected prospectively in consecutive women referred to Aarhus University Hospital.
OVAmiARN is a multicentre, prospective, longitudinal, non-interventional, observational study carried out in 8 obstetrics and gynecology departments in France; in order to describe the evolution of salivary miRNA expression between the pre-operative and post-therapy visits according to the type of mass. In time, the clinical application will be to significantly reduce the time to diagnosis and improve the care pathway for ovarian adnexal mass. The study population consists of patients with an ovarian adnexal mass diagnosed by clinical examination and imaging (pelvic ultrasound and/or MRI) and requiring surgical management in routine care. The patients concerned by the study will be managed without modification of the care pathway, nor modification of the therapeutic indications, nor modification of the diagnostic or follow-up examinations (imaging or biology) necessary according to the context, which are carried out according to the recommendations of the HAS, CNGOF. In this study, the management and follow-up of patients : - Are not imposed by the study: the doctor remains free to make medical prescriptions (treatments and examinations) and to determine the interval between consultation visits, - Are not modified in comparison with the usual follow-up, except for the performance of the Collection of saliva
In this study we would like to examine the effect of GnRH antagonist administration at the beginning of the follicular phase in patient presenting with a simple ovarian cyst 25-50 mm. The aim of this intervention is to allow a spontaneous regression of the ovarian cyst (if in nature) while ensuring a pituitary downregulation to prevent the beginning of a leading follicle recruitment. As previous studies using GnRH antagonist pre-treatment prior to GT initiation for other purposes demonstrated positive results (including different patient population) , no deleterious effects are expected.
Removing in situ and metastasis lesions completely during gynecological surgery is central to reduce the recurrence and death, and the identification of lesions in traditional gynecological surgery often depends on the experience of surgeons. The identification of nerves is often needed in gynecological surgery, such as the obturator nerves in pelvic lymphadenectomy, and the pelvic autonomic nerves in nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer. Nerve identification also relies heavily on the experience of surgeons. This project aims to realize the identification of lesions and nerves under the navigation of indocyanine green fluorescent imaging, and evaluate the accuracy of fluorescent imaging of lesions and the effectiveness of nerves identification by near-infrared imaging. This project may reduce the recurrence or death caused by residual lesions and postoperative dysfunction caused by nerves injury, thus, improve the survival rate and quality of life for patients with gynecological diseases.
Background: Ovarian cysts are common in women. The vast majority is benign; yet, ovarian cancer (OC) is seen in 500 women every year in Denmark. OC is often diagnosed in advanced stages, and OC is the fifth most deadly cancer in women in more developed countries. It can be a clinical challenge to distinguish benign ovarian cysts from OC. Currently, the Risk of Malignancy Index (RMI) is used to detect women at high risk of OC in Denmark, however, new methods to correctly differentiate benign ovarian cysts from OC at an early stage is needed. New promising studies suggest an improved diagnostic accuracy by adding the biomarker Human Epididymis Protein 4 (HE4) and systemized ultrasound imaging International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA). Purpose: The purpose is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of HE4 and IOTA in a Danish clinical setting. Furthermore, to develop an optimized diagnostic algorithm to differentiate ovarian cysts based on a combination of symptoms, biomarkers and IOTA. Methods: The study is a prospective, observational study. Women with ovarian cysts are included from gynecological practitioners and departments in the Capital Region of Denmark. Detailed information on health and symptoms are registered, and the cysts are systematically described by the gynecologist in accordance to the IOTA terminology. HE4 will be analyzed in those women who routinely needs a diagnostic blood test for CA125. Data will be coupled with data from the patient file and Danish Gynecological Cancer Database (DGCD). The diagnostic utility of HE4 and IOTA will be evaluated both alone and in combinations with health information, symptoms, and CA125. The study has been approved by the Regional Committee on Health Research Ethics (H-19021342) and the Data Protection Agency (P-2019-340). Significance: This study establishes a unique database which will form the basis for developing an optimized method for differentiating ovarian cysts, and thus optimize referral and diagnosis.
Puberty and long-term ovarian function of patients with a ovarian prenatal cyst has not described to date.
To collect data of clinical, biochemical and 3D-ultrasonographic parameters of a population of fertile women aged 18-55 in order to design a new algorithm able to predict ovarian age and to evaluate the reliability of a multimodal diagnostic evaluation of ovarian age in term of both reproductive prognosis and distance to menopause following the guidelines of the Standards for Reporting of Diagnostic Accuracy initiative (STARD)
The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact on ovarian reserve after single- port, two-port, or four-port access laparoscopic ovarian cyst enucleation based on serum anti mullerian hormone change.
