Filter by:Ovarian cancer lacks an effective screening test, and prompt treatment at diagnosis is the only way to improve outcomes. Referral to gynecologic oncology at diagnosis of adnexal mass is recommend by guidelines from every major medical organization. Yet, 1 in 4 patients with ovarian cancer nationwide and at Penn Medicine never see a gynecologic oncologist. Even when referred to gynecologic oncology, patients from historically-marginalized groups have twice as long duration from diagnosis to seeing gynecologic oncology. In this project, the investigators will pilot a clinician nudge to gynecologic oncology referral and compare the impact to historical controls.
PURPOSE/AIMS There is no consensus on optimal follow-up after ovarian cancer. A recent study demonstrated eight months prolonged survival in patients with complete surgical resection. Hence, it is crucial to detect relapses early, when the tumor burden is limited. The research group have previously identified a plasma protein panel with high accuracy in detecting ovarian cancer at diagnosis and follow-up. The aim with this feasibility study is to validate the panel for its' capacity to detect early relapse in symptom-free patients in a user-friendly non-invasive way i.e. a home-administered capillary sampling. The results will be the foundation for a forthcoming national prospective randomized trial. METHODS The study is designed as a prospective cohort study including women in the control program after ovarian cancer in Uppsala and Umeå, Sweden. The study participants should have no evidence of disease after primary treatment or after relapse. In addition to standard follow-up, they will be asked to take a capillary home-sample (blood-test from finger) every second month during one year or until relapse. The result of the test will not affect treatment, but solely be used for research purposes. IMPORTANCE The study aims to clarify following issues: 1. Calibration of the risk score in capillary blood samples. 2. Evaluation of the logistics in home-sampling. 3. Evaluation of the acceptability (reasons of drop-out etc.) of home-sampling by structured interviews of a sample of study participants. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The hypothesis behind the study is that more frequent analysis of a protein panel specific for ovarian cancer, will lead to earlier detection of relapse, earlier treatment and a better prognosis. Additionally, in the future the vision is that women may choose between different ways of follow-up depending on individual risk factors, personal preferences and logistic reasons. In the long-term the results of the applicability of home-administered blood sampling from this study can be useful in other patient groups as well.
Participants will be scheduled for primary cytoreductive surgery as part of their standard care. Before surgery, participants will be assigned by chance to a study group. Depending on which group they are in, they will receive either acute normovolemic hemodilution/ANH during surgery or standard surgical management during surgery. The researchers think acute normovolemic hemodilution/ANH may decrease the need for allogenic blood transfusion/ABT in people having primary cytoreductive surgery.
The goal of this observational study is to increase genetic education and genetic testing for hereditary cancer risk among cancer survivors. The study objectives are to: 1. Finalize the development and optimize usability of the CATALYST digital intervention (i.e., also known as relational assistant (RA)) 2. Evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a streamlined cancer genomic care delivery model in cancer survivors. Participants will be randomized to one of two study arms: the RA intervention vs. enhanced usual care (EUC) 3. Assess GC and GT uptake and conduct a process evaluation to measure barriers/facilitators to GC, GT and use of the CATALYST intervention and engagement with the RA.
The pilot study will investigate the use of repeated FDG-PET/CT scans in 16 patients with peritoneal metastasis originating from abdominal cancers treated with Pressurized Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy. The study will focus on the potential of repeated FDG-PET/CT scans to evaluate the treatment as well as the feasibility in the patient group.
The study is a multicenter, Phase Ib/IIa, open-label, dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of orally administered KAND567 in combination with carboplatin therapy, and to determine the Recommended Phase II Dose (RPIID) of KAND567 in combination with carboplatin in subjects with recurrent platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. In Part 1, dose escalation will be based on the recommendation of the Safety Review Committee (SRC) after review of the emerging safety and tolerability information. Once the RPIID has been identified in Part 1, the SRC may recommend to the Sponsor to start Part 2. An expansion cohort will be enrolled in Part 2 of the study to further evaluate the RPIID (approximately 20 subjects; may range from 6 to 24 subjects, depending on Part 1). If the number of subjects with confirmed CX3CR1 expression in tumor cells is below 50%, an additional 15 subjects may be included in Part 2 of the study.
The survival of ovarian cancer patients is dependent on the stage at diagnosis; more than 70% of patients present with advanced stage disease (stage III/IV). In England, one-year survival is 98.7% at stage I and 51.4% at stage IV and five-year survival is 93.3% and 13.4% respectively. Standard treatment for advanced ovarian cancer involves surgery to remove all visible tumour and chemotherapy. Removal of all visible disease, so no tumour deposits are visible to the naked eye at the end of first-line surgery, is one of the strongest predictors of overall survival. A majority of the women presenting with advanced disease are older and frail. Extensive open surgery discriminates against such women as they may not be well enough for the surgery offered. A recent national audit in England found that 60.1% of women over the age of 79yrs diagnosed with ovarian cancer received no cancer treatment at all. The ability to provide the same surgery via a minimally invasive route such as robotic surgery potentially widens access to cancer treatment. The MIRRORS Feasibility study (NCT04402333) completed recently at the Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford showed significantly enhanced recovery with short length of stay and reduced blood loss enabling faster recommencement of chemotherapy in women with advanced disease undergoing robotic surgery compared to open surgery (requiring a cut in the abdomen). In the current proposed study funded by Intuitive Foundation and GRACE Charity, the investigators will establish the feasibility of conducting a randomised controlled trial and collect data from three hospital sites to inform a future phase 3 randomised controlled trial. The aim will be to to improve patient experience, access to surgery, recovery, reduce morbidity and reduce time to chemotherapy by incorporating robotic cytoreductive surgery into the ovarian cancer treatment pathway for women with a pelvic mass </=8cm
The goal of this observational study is to identify and analyze the characteristics, treatment trends, prognostic factors and survival prognosis of Korean gynecologic cancer patients. Ultimately, the final goal is to contribute to the development of safe surgical methods and treatment for gynecologic cancer to improve survival rates.
The Principal Investigator hypothesizes the combination of MIRV and Olaparib is an effective, and tolerable, maintenance therapy strategy in platinum sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer.
This study is an exploratory, single-center, prospective single-arm study to explore the efficacy of Huaier granules in the treatment of stage Ⅱ-Ⅳ primary ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, and peritoneal cancer after satisfactory tumor reduction (R0/R1). Twenty-five patients with FIGOⅡ-Ⅳ ovarian cancer, peritoneal cancer or tubal cancer confirmed by histopathology were enrolled and treated with Huaier granules. During the study period, the patients were followed up once at 3 months, and the medication was continued until progression or intolerability of toxicity.
