Changes in Pelvic Health, Sexual Function, and Quality of Life in Women With Pelvic Cancer Undergoing...
Anal CarcinomaCervical Carcinoma5 moreThis study investigates changes in physical measures of pelvic health and patient-reported outcomes of sexual function, intimate relationship, and quality of life over time in women undergoing radiation therapy for pelvic cancer. Evaluating vaginal changes prior to and after a course of radiation and collecting patient reported outcomes of sexual function, partner communication, and intimacy may help researchers may help researchers better understand physical changes and symptoms over time.

Endometrial CarcinomaMalignant Uterine Neoplasm2 moreThis trial studies pelvic floor dysfunction and quality of life in uterine cancer survivors. Using questionnaires may help researchers learn more about the sexual function and quality of life in uterine cancer survivors.
Effect of Irradiation Doses < 10 Gy and of Irradiated Bone Volume on the Variation of Blood Elements...
Prostate CarcinomaRectum Carcinoma5 moreBone marrow is one of the organs at risk of complications during irradiation due to its radiosensitivity. Hematopoietic toxicity remains one of the main toxicities during irradiation of pelvic lymph node areas, especially when concomitant chemotherapy is used, volume of bone marrow irradiated is large and dose to the bone marrow is high. There is a lack of prospective studies and comparative trials to customize the constraints according to the presence or absence of chemotherapy and correlated to the patient's bone marrow potential. This multicentric and prospective study conducted by Strasbourg Europe Cancerology Institute aims to evaluate hematological toxicity (anemia, thrombocytopenia, leukopenia) in patients treated with pelvic irradiation for prostate, rectum, anal canal, endometrium, cervix cancer or vaginal cancer. One hundred patients will be included in the study, including patients treated with exclusive radiotherapy, radiochemotherapy, or radiohormonal therapy. The primary objective is to quantify the relationship between acute hematological toxicity and delivered doses and irradiated volumes in pelvic bone marrow for pelvic cancers. Hematological toxicity will be measured by weekly blood count during radiotherapy and at one month and three months after the end of radiotherapy. Secondary endpoints are the evaluation of viral, bacterial and fungal infections during and for three months following radiotherapy, as well as the evaluation of the impact of radiation-induced hematological toxicity on the administration of chemotherapy for the concerned patients. The aim of this study is to improve and optimize radiotherapy if a dose limit or volume constraint is imposed by the results of the study.
Hysteroscopic vs. Cervical Injection for Sentinel Node Detection of Endometrial Cancer

Characterization of the Genetic Profile of Type 2 Endometrial Carcinoma in Martinique
Endometrial NeoplasmsIn Martinique, about 33 new cases are diagnosed per year, with a high incidence rate of type 2 endometrial carcinoma which has a poor prognosis with few therapeutic options. Although targeted therapies are used in many types of cancer, they are still possible a minority of patients. In current practice, endometrial cancers do not benefit these therapies. Characterization of the molecular mechanisms involved in the genesis of type 2 endometrial carcinoma could help to identify biomarkers predictive of a response to targeted therapies. We propose to identify the genetic profile of type 2 endometrial carcinomas in Martinique.
Pelvic IMRT With Tomotherapy in Post-Hysterectomy Endometrial Cancer Patients
Endometrial CancerThis study is evaluating the feasibility of using helical tomotherapy to deliver IMRT in post-hysterectomy endometrial cancer patients receiving adjuvant radiotherapy.
Radiomics Based Multimodal Transvaginal Ultrasound Imaging in Endometrial Cancer
Endometrial CancerCervical Stromal Invasion1 moreRetrospectively collect preoperative transvaginal B-mode ultrasound (BMUS), color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) and three-dimensional ultrasound (3D-US) images and clinical data in patients with non-endometrial cancer diseases and endometrial cancer confirmed by pathology. They were grouped as training set(Tongji Hospital of Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology) and external validation set(Women's Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University) . Radiomics features were extracted from corresponding transvaginal ultrasound images. Then, the minimum redundancy maximum relevance (mRMR) algorithm and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression were used to select the non- malignant or malignant status-related features and cervical stromal invasion (CSI) status or non-CSI status features and construct the transvaginal ultrasound radiomics score (Rad-score). Multivariate logistic regression was performed using the three radiomics score together with clinical data, and subsequently develop a nomogram to diagnosis endometrial cancer and CSI respectively. The performance of the nomogram was assessed by discrimination, calibration, and clinical usefulness in the training and external validation set.
Intraoperative Pathological Evaluation for Surgical Treatment & Staging for Endometrial Cancer
Endometrial CancerComplete pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy performed at the time of primary surgical staging for endometrial cancer increases operative time and surgical morbidity, but appears to be necessary in most high grade and deeply invasive cancers. To date, the Mayo Clinic approach has not been reproduced, and the investigators propose to validate their algorithm at the University of Kentucky utilizing intra-operative consultation (IOC). The preliminary data at the University of Kentucky for IOC and endometrial cancer outcomes suggest that the investigators are well-suited to perform this investigation. A surgical approach that is tailored to the patient's cancer biology is rational, supported by the recent literature, and medically compelling since the co-morbidities of many obese, low-risk EC patients put them at significantly increased perioperative risk for complete lymphadenectomy.
Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy Versus Total Abdominal Hysterectomy in Women With Endometrial Neoplasia...
HysterectomyLaparoscopyThe aim of this study is to compare operative time between total laparoscopy hysterectomy with bilateral salpingoophrectomy (TLH+BSO) versus total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingooophorectomy (TAH+BSO) in women with uterine neoplasia.
