Objectives: To explore the feasibility and effectiveness of acupuncture on reducing Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN) in gynaecological cancer patients who have received carboplatin and paclitaxel chemotherapy combination. Results of this pilot trial will provide preliminary information for a potential a larger scale multicentre study. Hypothesis: Acupuncture can significantly reduce CIPN in gynaecological cancer patients treated with chemotherapy Design and subjects: This is a pilot, prospective randomised controlled trial. This is an exploratory trial to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of acupuncture in reducing CIPN in gynaecological cancer patients. Eligible patients will be 1:1:1 randomised to three groups: electroacupuncture group, sham acupuncture group and waiting-list (usual care) control group. For electroacupuncture and sham acupuncture groups, the assessors and the patients will be blinded to the treatment given. 1. Electroacupuncture group - patients will receive 6 weeks of electroacupuncture, 2 sessions per week, by a qualified Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner from the School of Chinese Medicine. 2. Sham acupuncture group - patients will receive 6 weeks of sham acupuncture similar to the above. 3. Waiting-list (usual care) control group - patients will not receive any treatment. Main outcomes: Acupuncture effects will be assessed at baseline and 3, 6,12 weeks post intervention by: 1. Patient reported outcome measures: FACT/GOG-Ntx questionnaire for assessing CIPN symptoms and EORTC-QLQ-C30 and CIPN20 questionnaires for assessing quality of life symptom 2. Clinician reported outcome measures: NCI-CTCAE grading for CIPN by clinicians and Semmes-Weinstein monofilament test as an objective measurement of CIPN. Data analysis: Intention to treat analysis will be carried out. Baseline demographics will be compared between the 3 groups. Change from baseline total score will be calculated and analysed using 2-sample t-test. 95% CI will be reported for treatment differences. Score for different subcategories will be analysed in a similar manner. Data collected at week 6 will be used for outcome analysis. P\<0.05 will be considered as statistically significant. Acupuncture efficacy, effectiveness and placebo effect will be indicated by comparison of acupuncture vs. sham acupuncture, acupuncture vs. waiting-list, and sham acupuncture vs. waiting-list, respectively. Expected results: Patients in the acupuncture arm will have reduced numbness and peripheral neuropathy and improved quality of life without any adverse event.

ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) protocols are step-by-step care plans that help patients recover faster after surgery. They focus on keeping the body's normal functions, lowering stress from surgery, and supporting a quicker recovery. In gynecologic cancer surgeries, ERAS has been shown to help patients do better, have fewer problems, and leave the hospital sooner. A prehabilitation program, in combination with ERAS protocols, aims to optimize patients' physical and psychological condition prior to surgery for gynecological cancers. Interventions may include tailored exercise, nutritional support, respiratory training, and psychological preparation. By enhancing baseline fitness and resilience, prehabilitation improves the body's ability to tolerate surgical stress, reduces complications, and facilitates a faster, smoother recovery within the ERAS framework.

This is a pilot feasibility study assessing the use of a commercial molecular profiling service in the UK's National Health Service (NHS). The impact of knowledge of a patient's molecular profile, and the time it takes to generate this knowledge, will be assessed by analysis of changes in physicians' treatment decisions prior to and following generation of a patient's molecular profile. Implications for benefit with therapies recommended by the profile will also be assessed and the following treatment outcomes collected: best response (based on routine clinical, radiological and biochemical assessment), progression free survival ratio (post Caris Molecular profiling versus prior treatment) and overall survival.
NCT04839874
This study will focus on speaking to women who have been diagnosed with one of the five main gynaecological cancers: ovarian, endometrial (womb), cervical, vulval and vaginal. Too many women are dying from gynaecological cancer in the UK. There are many reasons for this, but the study investigators think that embarrassment might be one of the reasons. It can be embarrassing to talk about gynaecological cancers or the symptoms that they cause. This might lead some women to delay going to their doctor when they have symptoms. This study will speak with women who have been diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer to ask them what they did before they were diagnosed; when did they realise something was wrong; what made them go to their doctor; did having gynaecological symptoms make them think differently about going to the doctor? This information will be used to find ways of making it as easy as possible for women to go to their doctors as early as possible. This will hopefully see fewer women dying from these cancers.

Multicenter observational survey of the presence of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) on trans vaginal ultrasound (TVUS) probes, and of the behavior of professionals during US examination and probe disinfection. This will allow modeling the risk of HPV transmission, and could contribute establishing future guidelines for reducing the risk of transmission of microorganisms and the risk of infection through TVS.
