Image Based Brachytherapy in Locally Advanced Cervical Cancers - a Randomized Controlled Trial
Cervical CancerPurpose of the study is to determine whether Image based brachytherapy is superior in terms of local control to Conventional radiograph based brachytherapy in locally advanced cervical cancers in a Phase III randomized setting.
Identification and Treatment of Cervical Abnormalities in Perú Through Integration of Pocket Colposcopy...
Cervical CancerHPV Infection1 moreThe Pocket colposcope has 510k FDA clearance and has been successfully used in almost 1500 unique patients globally in Duke and non-Duke protocols to date. The objective is to provide colposcopy capability to rural communities in Peru potentially using Telehealth. Approximately 10,000 women will receive self HPV test kit for community health workers. Of these participants, approximately 1,000 HPV+ participants will be invited to participate in this pocket colposcopy study. Approximately 500 of these participants may require treatment using thermocoagulation.
A Trial of Robotic Versus Open Hysterectomy Surgery in Cervix Cancer
Cervical CancerThis is a randomized controlled trial to compare survival for patients who undergi robotic assisted laparoscopy versus open radical hysterectomy and lymph node assessment for the treatment of early stage cervical cancer.
Bone Marrow Sparing Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (RT) Incorporating Novel Use of GCSF and FDG-PET...
Cervix CancerEndometrial CancerThis is a research study using Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor (GCSF) as a bone marrow stimulating agent for imaging to guide radiation treatment planning. G-CSF is a type of growth factor. Growth factors are proteins made in the body. G-CSF is a type of growth factor that makes the bone marrow produce white blood cells to reduce the risk of infection after some types of cancer treatment.
Feasibility of ReSpace™ Hydrogel to Establish a Stable Cervical-rectal Space
Uterine Cervical NeoplasmsIn this study, 5 subjects will be enrolled and the cumulative D2cc dose for rectum during brachytherapy will be recorded as the primary outcome measures.
Altered Tumor Oxygenation by Metformin, a Potential Step in Overcoming Radiotherapy Resistance in...
Cervical CancerPoor tumor oxygenation (hypoxia) is an established negative prognostic and predictive factor in locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC). Hypoxia-modifying measures implemented in the clinic are lacking. Metformin is a well-known, well-tolerated and low-cost drug used for decades in the treatment of type 2- diabetes. Recent studies suggest an improved tumor oxygenation by metformin potentially improving radiotherapy response and patient outcome. This study is a randomized, phase II, open label study in patients with LACC where patients are randomized to standard cisplatin-based chemoradiotherapy +/- Metformin. Metformin will be started one week prior to the start of chemoradiotherapy, and will be continued throughout the entire radiation treatment. Tumor oxygenation will be evaluated by gene signatures and MRI- parameters.
MRI-Guided Brachytherapy in Treating Participants With HPV-Associated Stage IB2-IVA Cervical or...
Human Papillomavirus-Related CarcinomaHuman Papillomavirus-Related Cervical Carcinoma15 moreThis trial studies how well magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided internal radiation therapy (brachytherapy) works in treating participants with human papillomavirus (HPV) associated stage IB2-IV cervical or stage II-IVA vaginal cancer. Using MRI guidance during brachytherapy applicator placement may improve treatment planning in participants with cervical or vaginal cancer.
Adjuvant Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy Versus Radiotherapy in Early-stage Cervical Cancer Patients...
Cervical CancerTo evaluate if adjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy is associated with a recurrence-free survival benefit in comparison with radiotherapy alone in selected intermediate risk cervical cancer after radical surgery.
Postoperative Hypofractionated Intensity-modulated Radiation Therapy in Cervical Cancer
Cervix CancerRadiotherapy4 moreTo investigate the acute toxicities, late toxicities, and treatment results when the early cervical cancer patients are treated by hypofractionated intensity-modulated radiotherapy (2.5 Gy X 16 fractions, once a day) after radical hysterectomy.
