Endometrial CancerEndometrioid Adenocarcinoma1 moreThis study is being done to find out how often endometrial cancer recurs after the standard treatment as well as how often the standard treatment results in a lymphedema.
Choosing Ovarian Preservation or Removal Before Surgery for Endometrial Cancer
Endometrial CancerThe purpose of this study is to learn more about the factors that influence decision-making before surgery (distress about cancer and/or reproductive concerns) and the possibility of regret after surgery.
Asian Multicenter Prospective Study of ctDNA Sequencing
Cervical CancerOvarian Clear Cell Carcinoma4 moreThis study is a genetic analysis of aberrations in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in patients in Asian countries. This study protocol is divided into parts describing several subanalyses that differ in terms of cancer types, analytical methods, participating countries, and participating institutions.
Leveraging Methylated DNA Markers (MDMs) in the Detection of Endometrial Cancer, Ovarian Cancer,...
Endometrial CancerCervical Cancer4 moreThe overarching objective of this project is to develop a pan-gynecologic cancer detection test using gynecologic (unique endometrial, cervical, and ovarian cancer) cancer-specific methylated DNA markers and high-risk human papilloma virus (HR-HPV) detected in vaginal fluid and/or plasma. This proposal defines Phase II MDM-based cancer detection studies in endometrial cancer (EC) and endometrial hyperplasia with atypia (AEH) in tampon-collected vaginal fluid and 2) ovarian cancer (OC) in plasma and tampon-collected vaginal fluid. Additionally, it defines necessary Phase I MDM-based cancer detection and exploratory aims to test novel cervical cancer (CC) MDMs and test the specificity of cancer-specific MDMs among various common benign gynecologic pathologies.er detection and exploratory aims to test novel cervical cancer MDMs and test the specificity of cancer-specific MDMs among various common benign gynecologic pathologies.
Detection of Tumor DNA Through Cervical Smear and Liquid Biopsy in Endometrial Cancer Patients and...
Endometrial CancerCirculating tumor DNA (ctDNA) may help detect and prognosis-stratify patients with endometrial cancer. Both cervical swab-based genomic DNA (gDNA) and whole blood-based ctDNA can be utilized for this goal. Our objective is to utilize cervical swab and whole blood samples to analyze tumor-derived ctDNA from patients with endometrial cancer. These samples will be collected prospectively, and prior to staging operation. Samples from patients without cancer, who undergo hysterectomy for benign gynecological cause, will be utilized as controls. Variants called by next generation sequencing were classified into four-tiers based on ASCO/AMP system. These initially captured samples will be used to compare performance in terms of detection rate and to stratify patients based on the mutational profile. Additionally, in patients with advanced disease, we plan to collect whole blood samples every 3 months to assess any changes in mutational landscape. Clinical data including age, cormorbidities, treatment methods, date of diagnosis and recurrence, response evaluation for chemotherapy or radiotherapy, survival data will be used to contextualize our findings.
Host DNA Methylation for Endometrial Cancer Screening
Cancer ScreeningEndometrial Cancer4 moreBased on the previous study of NCT04651738, we performed this trial to further confirm the accuracy of host DNA CDO1 and CELF4 methylation for endometrial cancer screening in a multi-center cohort. Thirteen hospitals, including Peking Union Medical College Hospital, would enroll eligible patients in this study. The cervical cytology of 3 ml will be collected for the detection of DNA CDO1 and CELF4 methylation, and the results will compared with the endometrial histological pathology, which is achieved after collection of cervical cytology, by surgeries including hysteroscopy, dilation and curettage, total hysterectomy and others. The methylation testing would be double-blinded in operators and analysts. The study will enroll at least 10,000 patients.
Evaluation of MCM5 in Postmenopausal Bleeding Patients
Endometrial CancerThe objective of this multi-centre, prospective study, is to evaluate the performance of a urine MCM5 ELISA test (ADXGYNAE) in the detection of endometrial cancer in patients with postmenopausal bleeding. Patients attending a gynaecology clinic for investigation of postmenopausal bleeding will be recruited and asked to provide a urine sample to be tested. The results of the MCM5 test will be recorded and compared to the patient's routine investigations to determine the clinical utility of the test as an aid in the diagnosis of endometrial cancer.
Avera/Sema4 Oncology and Analytics Protocol
CancerCancer Diagnosis10 moreThe purpose of this study is to understand the breadth of molecular characteristics present in participants cared for in a large integrated, community-based health care system. Using comprehensive genomic profiling and proteomics, the investigators seek to identify the underlying genomic drivers of premalignant or malignant conditions in participants across different stages of disease development and cancer types. Comprehensive molecular profiling will consist of somatic tumor testing (tissue and/or blood) using whole exome sequencing, whole transcriptome sequencing, proteomics, and selected instances of whole genome sequencing. In addition, the investigators seek to perform broad hereditary cancer testing in affected participant populations. Hereditary testing has implications in screening, prognosis, and therapeutics for affected participants, as well as broad implications for genetic counseling and cascade testing. In order to maximize the value of genomic information, participants consented to this protocol will have their electronic health records (both retrospectively and prospectively) abstracted, curated, annotated and linked to genomic information obtained though the testing performed. Given the long-term value of this data, participants will also be asked to voluntarily consent to have their samples stored in a biobank and have their de-identified information used for future research. Information collected across this participant population will aid in advancing the investigators' knowledge of cancer biology, to discover and validate biomarkers associated with clinical outcomes, and shared in collaborative projects in order to promote the study of cancer.
Integrated Cancer Repository for Cancer Research
Pancreatic CancerThyroid Cancer48 moreThe iCaRe2 is a multi-institutional resource created and maintained by the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center to collect and manage standardized, multi-dimensional, longitudinal data and biospecimens on consented adult cancer patients, high-risk individuals, and normal controls. The distinct characteristic of the iCaRe2 is its geographical coverage, with a significant percentage of small and rural hospitals and cancer centers. The iCaRe2 advances comprehensive studies of risk factors of cancer development and progression and enables the design of novel strategies for prevention, screening, early detection and personalized treatment of cancer. Centers with expertise in cancer epidemiology, genetics, biology, early detection, and patient care can collaborate by using the iCaRe2 as a platform for cohort and population studies.
