Filter by:This is a feasibility study investigating the image quality of a new, high-performance cone beam CT (CBCT) used for on-couch imaging during radiotherapy treatments.
Flap reconstruction is utilised increasingly for repair of skin and soft tissue defects following pelvic exenteration. Many methods have been proposed but the outcomes associated with each remain largely unknown and the choice dependant on surgeon preference and patient/ disease characteristics. This review sought to assess the preferred methods for perineal reconstruction following pelvic exenteration by retrospectively assessing the outcomes associated with each at an international, multi-centre level.
Patients with locally advanced pelvic malignancy undergo radical procedures, necessitate organ reconstruction. Little is known about the preferred methods of gynaecological organ reconstruction in the context of pelvic exenteration. This review aims to identify which methods are commonly used and what outcomes are associated with each technique in order to further guide future practice.
This is a study evaluating the safety and efficacy of Lattice SBRT for patients with large tumors (≥ 4.5 cm) planning to undergo palliative radiotherapy.
Gynecologic cancer treatments (chemoradiotherapy, brachytherapy and surgery) greatly impact patients' sexual quality of life (QoL). Use of the vaginal dilators may reduce vaginal stenosis. Since 2011, our "Gyn and Co LR" patient education program aims to optimize early care of sexual disorders following treatment of cervical and endometrial cancer.
This study aims to study in patients with cancer of the cervix or the body of the uterus, or the ovary between the time of diagnosis and 3 months after the end of the last treatment: the evolution of the relationship of couple, and more particularly of communication (verbal and non-verbal) concerning sexuality, before and during cancer.
It is a non-randomized pilot study.The allocation will be determined by patients or their immediate family members who were cooperative with physician's interpretations on the disease progression and updated information of cutting of edge treatment, the financial affordability, availability of treatment plans, possible tolerance or risks etc.The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical efficacy and toxicity of autologous cellular immunotherapy combined with hyperthermia in abdominal and pelvic malignancies or metastases patients. Furthermore, to characterize response to different regimens,the investigators intent to explore the predictive and prognostic biomarker, as well as the changes in immune repertoire.
The investigators hypothesize that two pelvic relaxation exercises will be feasible and safe to perform by subjects daily before radiation during the participant's treatment and will decrease variability of sacral slope measurements on daily port films. The investigators will observe trends in the daily variability and change in the sacral slope in each participant to determine if this could decrease variability. The investigators will compare these measurements to a retrospective cohort that did not have the exercises, but did demonstrate variability. Reducing set-up variability (which inadvertently occurs during radiation) is important to improve radiation targets and diminish potential adverse effects. The investigators will query participants for objective and subjective feedback on the exercises and record frequency and duration of the two exercises.
The aim of the present project is to investigate whether use of biological mesh at the donor site of the rotation flap in closure of the abdominal wall reduce the frequency of incisional hernia formation compared to the usual abdominal wall closure after abdominal rotation flap operation in surgery for advanced pelvic cancer.
Phase I study. Side-effects when combined with standard palliative radiotherapy.
