Active clinical trials for "Uterine Neoplasms"

Patients attending the rapid access gynaecology clinic with a suspicion of endometrial cancer are understandably nervous. Few studies have quantified anxiety and distress of patients in this group. This study surveys anxiety and stress levels of women attending clinic (by filling in an anonymous questionnaire). Additionally, in women who need a tissue biopsy, women are asked to rate their pain scores.

The purpose of this study is to collect information on the effects of treatment for gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD). We plan to use the findings from this study to better understand GTD survivors' health and quality of life. We would like to know more about the health, quality of life and pregnancies of women treated for GTD. This information will be used to try and improve the treatments for women who have this disease.

This is an assisted exercise trial involving exercise on a stationary bike, brain imaging and DNA(genetics)sampling. The purpose of this study is to find out if performing a progressive, supervised assisted exercise program on a stationary bike improves quality of life, increases motivation to continue to exercise, improves dietary behavior and leads to sustained weight loss in women who have had early-stage endometrial cancer. Questionnaires will be used to assess exercise motivation and dietary behavior. Brain's responses to different visual images will also be assessed.

This study aims to evaluate the effect of SLN mapping on the incidence and severity of lymphedema in women with early stage cervical and endometrial cancer.

OBJETIVE: To study the influence of musicotherapy in reduction of fatigue related to cancer in patients with breast's or gynecology's cancer, during the radiotherapy treatment.

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.

The goal of this clinical research study is to use CT scans to find any changes in position of the vagina and pelvic lymph node areas during the course of IMRT radiation therapy. Treatment can then be adjusted in order to "spare" as much normal tissue as possible during radiation therapy. Another goal is to study the side effects of IMRT radiation therapy.

The study assesses the impact on quality of care of implementing the ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) protocol for hysterectomy of benign or malignant tumors of the uterus in the network of public hospitals in the Regione Piemonte (North-West Italy). Every hospital is a cluster entering the study treating patients according to its current clinical practice. On the basis of a randomized order, each hospital switches from current clinical practice to the adoption of the ERAS protocol.

Although nerve-sparing surgery has been introduced for female patients with the pelvic tumors, its success rate depends on operators. To achieve consistency of surgical procedure, It is necessary to adopt pelvic autonomic nerve monitoring technique. The Aims of this study is Development of pelvic autonomic nerve monitoring system (PAMS I) by using urodynamic system. Evaluation of autonomic nerve sparing by intraoperative monitoring with PAMS I Evaluating the efficacy of PAMS I by intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IOM)

This project aims to evaluate whether rapid first contact with the oncologist the same day or the next day after pathologic diagnosis contributes to a decreased time to treatment, decreased patient anxiety and increased patient satisfaction.
