About this trial

This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Cervical Cancer

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)FemaleDoes not accept healthy volunteers
  • Diagnosis of cervical cancer of any stage that will be treated with radiation therapy and concurrent chemotherapy.
  • At least 18 years of age.
  • Not pregnant and/or breastfeeding.

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Transvaginal probe (Photoacoustic + ultrasound imaging)

Arm Description

A transvaginal imaging probe using ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging will be inserted into the vagina and will use different frequencies of lights to create images This will occur before the first standard of care treatment, mid-treatment, end of treatment, and approximately 3 months after the end of treatment for a total of 4 imaging time points

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of participants who complete the imaging protocol

Secondary Outcome Measures

Reduction rate of tumor angiogenesis
The reduction rate of tumor angiogenesis of clinical responders and non-responders will be analyzed Responders and non-responders will be determined by standard of care PET imaging based on F18-FDG uptake, 3 months after completion of treatment
Charge pattern of blood oxygen saturation
The charge pattern of blood oxygen saturation of clinical responders and non-responders will be analyzed Responders and non-responders will be determined by standard of care PET imaging based on F18-FDG uptake, 3 months after completion of treatment

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The investigators have developed co-registered transvaginal photoacoustic and ultrasound (US) imaging techniques that allow them to visualize ovarian tumor structure and functional changes simultaneously, which may potentially reveal early tumor angiogenesis development or residual tumors after systemic treatment that is not available by US alone. The ability to detect early angiogenesis changes, as well as tumor morphology changes using a non-invasive imaging modality will greatly enhance the care for patients. The investigators plan to explore these techniques in monitoring cervical cancer treatment response and conduct pilot feasibility studies.
