2 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This randomized surgical window trial evaluates the effect of adding entinostat to medroxyprogesterone acetate before surgery works on progesterone receptors on endometrioid endometrial tumors. Medroxyprogesterone acetate is a progesterone, a hormone produced by body normally. Entinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving medroxyprogesterone acetate with or without entinostat may effect tumors from endometrioid endometrial cancer.
This clinical trial studies positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) and lymph node mapping in finding lymph node metastasis in patients with endometrial cancer that is at high risk of spreading. A PET/CT scan is a procedure that combines the pictures from a PET scan and a CT scan, which are taken at the same time from the same machine. The combined scans give more detailed pictures of areas inside the body than either scan gives by itself. Lymph node mapping uses a radioactive dye, called indocyanine green solution, to identify lymph nodes that may contain cancer cells. PET/CT and sentinel lymph node mapping may be better ways than surgery to identify cancer in the lymph nodes.
