Active clinical trials for "Uterine Cervical Neoplasms"

The prevalence of anemia in gynecologic oncology new patients has been seen in previous studies to be as high as 35-59%. this population includes women with several types of gynecologic malignancies. Therefore, it is assumed that the origin of the anemia can be due to anemia of chronic disease and iron deficiency anemia. No previous studies have looked at the efficacy of oral iron supplementation with concurrent Vitamin C in women with newly diagnosed gynecologic malignancies. Hypothesis: In newly diagnosed gynecologic oncology patients who are surgical candidates does treatment with 3-6 weeks of oral ferrous fumarate 300 mg once a day improve the mean change in hemoglobin levels, from baseline to pre-operative, in comparison to placebo.

This community-based randomized trial tested the effects of a social support intervention to increase Chamorro, Samoan, and Tongan women's Pap test behavior and social support among their male spouses or significant others in Southern California.

This study is intended to improve the patient experience of communication of colposcopy results and follow-up recommendations to patients. Current practice involves results being forwarded from the colposcopy clinic to the family or referring physician who then informs the patient. We are testing an intervention informed by focus groups in which a trained colposcopy nurse (patient liaison) directly contacts patients with their results and follow-up recommendations while providing education and support. We will examine whether this intervention improves patient satisfaction, reduces anxiety, and improves rates of adherence to follow-up and treatment appointments compared to the current practice.

This study evaluates the effect of adaptative Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) in the treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer on acute genito-urinary (GU), and gastrointestinal (GI) toxicities. Every patients will be treated according to the adaptative IMRT strategy.

The Self-Testing options in the Era of Primary HPV screening for cervical cancer (STEP) trial will evaluate effectiveness of home-based HPV kits for improving cervical cancer screening uptake and its cost-effectiveness. The investigators will compare cervical cancer screening uptake within six months among women randomized to different outreach approaches based on prior screening behavior: A) Adherent and coming due: direct mail HPV kit vs. opt-in HPV kit vs. education; B) Overdue: direct mail HPV kit vs. education; C) Unknown: opt-in HPV kit vs. education.

RATIONALE: Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) may reduce patient stress and improve quality of life. It is not yet known whether mindfulness-based stress reduction is effective in improving immune response to human papillomavirus in patients with cervical dysplasia. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying whether mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) or a general diet and physical activity program has any effects on immune response to human papillomavirus in patients with cervical dysplasia.

RATIONALE: A study that evaluates participants' beliefs about smokeless tobacco products and nicotine replacement therapy may be useful in helping smokers stop smoking. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the acceptability of less harmful alternatives to cigarettes.

RATIONALE: Finding out which problems affect employment in survivors of gynecologic cancer may help in planning cancer treatment and improve the quality of life of future cancer survivors. PURPOSE: This research study is looking at ways to improve employment in patients who have survived cervical cancer, uterine cancer, or ovarian cancer.

Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the effect of health education given by two different methods on women's knowledge about HPV, cervical cancer health belief and screening test. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in a parallel groups design as a single-blind randomized controlled trial. The sample consisted of 126 healthy participants, 42 in each volunteer group, who were registered at the Martyr Zafer Çalışkan Family Health Center in Ankara between January and July 2023, and met the inclusion criteria. HPV Knowledge scale, Cervical Cancer and pap Smear Test Health Belief Model Scale and VAS for self-assessment were used in the study. In the study, while the control group received standard care, the face-to-face education group was given health education and brochures through home visits and a reminder interview over the phone; On the other hand, the online training group was given health education and a digital brochure via video call and a reminder meeting was held once. One-way analysis of variance and Kruskal Wallis test were used to compare the data of the three groups after a two-month follow-up, Tukey and Dunn test for multiple comparisons, and Wilcoxon test for in-group comparisons before and after. In addition, two-way analysis of variance and Robust ANOVA were used in group and time comparisons.

The purpose of the study is to determine the acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of implementing new strategies to screen and treat eligible women for cervical cancer through a cluster randomized trial of two different models. Both models offer the same screening and treatment algorithm, but one will be based in Voluntary Family Planning (VFP) or other clinics and the second will be based in the community. Participants will be recruited from two districts in Malawi with the highest HIV prevalence in the country: Lilongwe in the Central Region and Zomba in the Southern Region.
