Brief Summary

Management of Malignant Bowel Obstruction (MBO) in Patients with Advanced Gynecological Cancers

Conditions

Gynecologic Cancer

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Optimization of multidisciplinary care

  To optimize the multidisciplinary care management of MBO in patients with advanced gynecological cancer treated at University Health Network (UHN) which include in-patient and ambulatory management algorithm for MBO • Measured by a ratio of days alive and out of hospital compare to days in hospital within the first 60 days after diagnosis of MBO

  2 years

Secondary Outcomes (9)

• Evaluation of treatment outcomes

  2 years

• Evaluation of impact of MBO management on hospital visits

  2 years

• Evaluation of impact of MBO management on patient reported outcomes

  2 years

• To evaluate nutritional status of patients with MBO

  2 years

• Evaluation of clinico-pathological factors

  2 years

Interventions

Management algorithm for Malignant Bowel Obstruction OTHER

a proposed management algorithm for MBO has been developed to provide a pathway that safeguards quality and continuity of care for patients under a multidisciplinary team. It will engage key-stakeholders and foster an inter-professional approach. It incorporates an in-patient management algorithm and a novel nursing-led ambulatory management algorithm to supplement patient's medical management

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 100 Years
• Gender Eligibility Details: Female
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Biospecimen

Retention: SAMPLES WITH DNA

Patients with MBO who undergo palliative procedures or surgical intervention will be offered optional consent for tissue collection for research. Fresh-frozen and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumour tissue specimens, as well as ascites will be collected for translational studies. Stool samples will be collected for microbiome analysis
