About this study

Official title: Diagnostic Value of Diffusion Weighted Imaging in Detection of Recurrent Disease in Cervical and Endometrial Cancer Treated With Curative Surgery

Endometrial and cervical cancers are one of the most common malignancies seen in females. Identification of recurrent disease in early phases of treatment carries a primary importance on the outcome of patients. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) is a new technique recently started to be performed in body imaging and has potential ability to detect recurrent disease. The aim of this study is to investigate the diagnostic impact of DWI in detection of recurrent disease in patients treated with curative surgery in endometrial and cervical cancer.

Read the detailed description

Endometrial and cervical cancers are one of the most common malignancies seen in female genital tract. Although, surgical resection is the treatment of choice for both, adjuvant or neo-adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy and curative radiotherapy are alternative treatment options depending on the stage.

Identification of recurrent disease in early phases carries a primary importance on the prognosis.

Diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI), a new technique recently started to be performed in body imaging has potential ability to distinguish recurrent disease from normal tissue or fibrosis. Our aim in this study is to investigate the diagnostic impact of DWI in detection of recurrence rate in patients treated with curative surgery in endometrial and cervical cancer.

All patients who had curative surgery due to endometrial or cervical cancer will be included to the study. Patients will be examined with DWI in addition to routine sequences including contrast enhanced dynamic studies. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy as well as positive and negative predictive values of the study will be investigated from the data derived from DWI studies and will be correlated with data obtained by conventional radiologic, nuclear imaging studies including PET-CT, as well as pathologic verifications during follow-up period.

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Diffusion weighted MRI (DW- MRI)- Philips Achieva 3.0T X, Netherlands, 2011Device

    Recurrence in cervical and endometrial cancer patients who were treated with curative surgery is routinely investigated by MRI examination. MRI is diagnostic technique not requiring ionizing radiation and is based on magnetic fields.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Investigation of the diagnostic value of DWI in detection of recurrence rate in patients treated with curative surgery in endometrial and cervical cancer.

    Postoperative recurrent disease is usually investigated with physical examination, ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) with different sensitivity and specificities. However, radiologists experience difficulty in detection of small recurrent active tumors with anatomically-based radiologic modalities like CT or conventional MRI in patients treated with hysterectomy. Furthermore, effects of adjuvant therapies or fibrosis developed following surgery could mask or even mimic the recurrent tumor. Our aim in this study is to investigate the diagnostic impact of DWI in detection of recurrence rate in patients treated with curative surgery in endometrial and cervical cancer.

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Diffusion weighted MRI (DW- MRI)- Philips Achieva 3.0T X, Netherlands, 2011 in people with Cervical Cancer and Endometrial Cancer, run by Uludag University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Oct 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Kadir Hacıkurt (+905055873273, hacikurt@uludag.edu.tr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Investigation of the diagnostic value of DWI in detection of recurrence rate in patients treated with curative surgery in endometrial and cervical cancer. (time frame: 18 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Oct 2012.
