This trial studies whether stereotactic (high-precision) radiation given in a few sessions can control rare cancers that have spread to a small number of sites. It aims to help by treating all known spots while keeping side effects manageable.
This study tests whether switching the type of ovarian-suppressing medication helps keep hormone-sensitive breast cancer under control in younger women. You'll be screened to see if your current treatment is working, then potentially switched to a different formulation to see if it works better.
This trial tests a shorter, focused radiation treatment to the pelvis after surgery for cervical or uterine cancer. It aims to reduce the chance of cancer coming back in patients whose doctors recommend additional radiation therapy after their surgery.
This trial moves the ovaries and uterus higher in the belly before pelvic radiation to protect them, so patients may still be able to have children later. It is for women aged 18-40 with pelvic cancers that require radiation.
This trial studies freezing (cryopreserving) ovarian tissue before treatment that may permanently affect fertility and hormone production. You might consider it if you are planning surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation soon and want to preserve future options.
This study helps people who are about to start cancer treatment (or have certain health conditions) preserve their ability to have children later. It removes and freezes a small piece of ovarian tissue before treatments that could damage the ovaries.
