Active clinical trials for "Endometrial Hyperplasia"

Mirena is used for long-term in Kazakhstan, and in our observational program we would like to study patients distribution per indications of Mirena, and also patient compliance within a year after Mirena insertion. For patients with all approved indications for Mirena use: contraception, treatment of menorrhagia and protection from endometrial hyperplasia during estrogen replacement therapy

This study, conducted jointly by the National Cancer Institute and the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research Northwest (KPCHRN) in Portland, Oregon, will lay the groundwork for a future study to identify precursors of endometrial cancer; that is, conditions that precede development of cancer of the lining of the uterus. The diagnosis of endometrial hyperplasia (a condition of abnormal proliferation of endometrial tissue) includes most precursors of endometrial cancer, as well as many benign conditions. Currently, three methods of classifying endometrial cancer precursors have been suggested based on endometrial hyperplasia findings, but it is not known which classification best predicts cancer risk. This study will examine surgical specimens of hyperplasia and cancer from women diagnosed with endometrial cancer at least 2 years after a diagnosis of endometrial hyperplasia. Investigators will estimate the percentage of cases with different degrees of hyperplasia, and assess the subsequent cancers that developed. This will allow them to rank hyperplasia lesions according to cancer risk and identify lesions that represent the most immediate cancer precursors. They will also review patients medical charts for information related to cancer risk and treatment. Study participants will include women enrolled in the KPCHRN who are 40 years of age or older and who were diagnosed with endometrial cancer at least 2 years after being diagnosed with endometrial hyperplasia.

It is to be achieved that in postmenopausal women through the combination of Hysteroscopy and intraoperative rapid section a positive predictive value (PPV) regarding the objective illness like endometrial cancer or adenomatous hyperplasia of 100% so as a negative predictive value (NPV) of 99%.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical meaning of an endometrial hyperplasia diagnosed using a vaginal ultrasound during routine gynecological examination.

A prospective observational study on italian women undergoing ulipristal acetate (uPa) therapy for symptomatic myomas and its impact on symptomatology and moreover on myomas architecture. We also evaluate changes in the endometrial pattern of selected women.

A prospective cohort study at a Tertiary University Hospital. From January to December 2018, we enrolled women with the following criteria: abnormal uterine bleeding in post-menopause, endometrial thickening in pre-or post-menopause; tamoxifen usage. Patients underwent office hysteroscopy with a 5-mm continuous-flow hysteroscope and endometrial biopsies were taken using miniaturized instruments. Senior operators had to foresee histopathological diagnosis using a questionnaire. Histopathological examination was conducted to confirm the diagnosis.

This is an observational, exploratory study designed to collect (record) and analyze normal and abnormal sound data from the human bladder during surgery using a novel sensor-based catheter system (Electronic Catheter Stethoscope) and to develop algorithms to detect changes of baseline bladder and ureteral function. The Electronic Catheter Stethoscope device will measure acoustic and pressure data within the bladder. The measurements will be used to detect any leakage from the bladder and/or changes in baseline ureteral flow by correlation of sound data with surgical data reported by the surgeon. These data will be used to develop algorithms to detect changes of baseline bladder and ureteral function. The algorithms will be tested in future clinical trials.

A prospective multicenter trial has been started in Korea to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of endometrial aspiration biopsy compared with D&C in patients treated with progestin for endometrial hyperplasia (EH). For conservative treatment of EH, oral progestins are most commonly used method with various treatment regimens and more recently, the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) also has been used successfully to treat EH. However, there is no report about the accuracy of endometrial sampling during hormonal treatment for follow-up evaluation of EH. Patients with histologically confirmed EH are offered hormonal treatment, one of the following 3 options: oral medroxyprogesterone acetate(MPA) 10mg/day for 14days per cycle, continuous oral MPA 10mg/day, or insertion of LNG-IUS. Histological surveillance is performed at 3-months or 6-months following initial treatment. Endometrial tissues are obtained via endometrial aspiration biopsy using a pipelle and D&C. In case of using LNG-IUS, endometrial aspiration biopsy will be done with LNG-IUS in uterus and then, after removal of LNG-IUS, D&C will be done. The biopsy findings will be compared. The primary endpoint is the consistency of the results of the endometrial aspiration biopsy and D&C. The secondary endpoint is the response rate with 3 types of progestin treatment at 6 months.

The purpose of the study is to determine serum irisin hormone levels an its relation between endometrial hyperplasia

Several molecular studies showed chromosomal alterations in patients with endometrial cancer, with gains in 1q, 19p, 19q, 8q, 10q and 10p and loss of 4q, 16q and 18q. Several genes of interest have been identified (P53, PTEN, PIK3CA, ß-catenin, K-ras ...). A study has already been carried out at the Reims University Hospital with inclusion of patients with endometrial cancer and patients with endometrial hyperplasia. It identified specific alterations of nosologic continuum of pathology and characterize areas of interest on the genome.
