Palliative Care in Improving Quality of Life in Patients With High Risk Primary or Recurrent Gynecologic...

Cervical CarcinomaOvarian Carcinoma8 more

This randomized clinical trial studies a palliative care program in improving the quality of life of patients with high-risk gynecologic malignancies that is original or first tumor in the body (primary) or has come back (recurrent). Palliative care is care given to patients and their families facing the problems associated with life-threatening illness, through the prevention and relief of suffering by means of early identification and impeccable assessment and treatment of pain and other problems, physical, psychosocial and spiritual. Studying a palliative care program may help doctors learn more about patients quality of life, use of healthcare services, and the relief of pain.

How Our Immune System Can Help Fight Cancer

Ovarian Cancer

There is growing evidence that our immune system can help fight cancer. This has stimulated interest in the development and application of tumor vaccines for several human solid tumors, including epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). A major obstacle to the development of these vaccines is that there are specialty cells called regulatory T cells that prevent the immune system from attacking all of our organs. These regulatory T cells also prevent our immune system for attacking cancer cells. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), an enzyme that degrades an essential amino acid tryptophan that is necessary for T cells to multiply, however regulatory T cells are less susceptible to low levels of tryptophan, and can still multiply. This allows cancer growth and progression. This may be explained by genetic polymorphisms (changes) in the IDO gene, which may alter its function. Five of these changes in the IDO gene have been described. In this research project, we are asking if you would donate a small piece of your tumor and ascites to see if we can examine your IDO gene in the tumor cells and see if any of these gene changes are present. We hope that this will help us understand how the immune system works in EOC. We hypothesize that genetic polymorphisms within the IDO gene alter its enzymatic activity and affect the outcome of ovarian cancer patients. These findings have the potential to translate into a method for predicting successful immunotherapy.

Early Detection of Ovarian Cancer: GC/FT-ICR Mass Spectrometry and Canine Olfaction

Ovarian Cancer

RATIONALE: Studying samples of exhaled breath from patients with ovarian epithelial cancer, polycystic ovarian syndrome, or endometriosis and from healthy participants in the laboratory may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors find and diagnose ovarian epithelial cancer sooner, when it may be easier to treat. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying exhaled breath biomarkers to see how well they find ovarian epithelial cancer in patients with newly diagnosed ovarian epithelial cancer, polycystic ovarian syndrome, or endometriosis and in healthy participants.

Prostaglandin Metabolite in Urine Samples From Patients With Ovarian Cancer

Ovarian Cancer

RATIONALE: Measuring the amount of prostaglandin metabolite in urine samples and studying tissue samples in the laboratory from patients with ovarian cancer may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to ovarian cancer and may help the study of cancer in the future. PURPOSE: This laboratory study is measuring the amount of prostaglandin metabolite in urine samples from patients with ovarian cancer.

The SOCQER-2 Study Surgery in Ovarian Cancer - Quality of Life Evaluation Research

Ovarian Neoplasms

The primary aims of the SOCQER-2 study are to describe any impact on short (6 weeks), medium term (6, 12 months) and long term (18 months, 24 months) PRO/quality of life using validated questionnaires in patients undergoing standard or extensive surgery for suspected or confirmed Stage III/IV ovarian cancer and to describe progression free survival (PFS) in these patients.

BELOVA Data Collection: Safety and Efficacy of Frontline Bevacizumab Treatment in Participants With...

Ovarian Cancer

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy in the frontline treatment of ovarian cancer in participants 70 years of age and older in routine clinical practice in Belgium. Bevacizumab will be used in combination with carboplatin/paclitaxel followed by bevacizumab as maintenance in accordance with the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC).

Ovarian CancerPeritoneal Neoplasms

This non-interventional study will evaluate the routine use and the safety and efficacy of Avastin (bevacizumab) as first-line treatment in patients with advanced ovarian cancer (epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube carcinoma, primary peritoneal carcinoma). Newly diagnosed patients who are initiated on carboplatin/paclitaxel chemotherapy in combination with Avastin will be followed for up to 15 months of treatment and 12 months of follow-up.

Biobehavioral Intervention in Gynecologic Oncology Patients

NeoplasmsOvarian Neoplasms2 more

Baseline self-report outcome measures will be completed and additional assessments will occur mid-treatment , post-treatment , 3 months following completion of all sessions, and 6 months following completion of all sessions. Patients and therapists will complete the evaluation measures in private (at home, in an office). At the University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center, BBI treatment is offered in group and individual formats. The course of individual treatment varies and group treatment consists of 10 1.5-hour weekly sessions in the "intensive" phase, followed by 2 1.5-hour bi-weekly maintenance sessions. Individual treatment is one-on-one. In group treatment, there are typically 6-12 patients per group and 1 or 2 therapists. The intervention helps patients to learn adaptive coping strategies and how to apply them to daily stressors. Additional content discusses use of seeking information, enhancing social support, enhancing body esteem and intimacy, and maintaining positive changes.
