Longitudinal Evaluation of Women Undergoing Pelvic Surgery for the Treatment of Gynecologic Cancer
Running, not enrolling
Conditions studied: Cervical Carcinoma, Endometrial Carcinoma, Malignant Female Reproductive System Neoplasm, Vaginal Carcinoma, Vulvar Carcinoma
In brief
The study investigates whether certain characteristics of gynecological cancer can help researchers predict how well a patient recovers from surgery to remove the lower colon, rectum, and bladder, and create openings through which urine and stool are passed out of the body (pelvic exenteration). Comparing the types of surgery completed and procedures used may help researchers to determine which are most effective and safe in patients with a history of gynecologic cancer.
