Active clinical trials for "Uterine Cervical Neoplasms"

Evaluation of sensitivity of Sentinel lymph nodes for detecting nodal metastases in cervical cancer

This is a multi-center, prospective, non-randomized, confirmatory study to evaluate the safety and performance of the Biop Digital Colposcope and the accuracy of the image registration procedure between the Biop Digital Colposcope unit and the Biop Micro Colposcope probe unit.

Lesions classified as "High Grade Squamous Intra-epithelial Lesions" (HSIL) are pre-cervical lesions of the cervix, induced by infection with the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). The detection and proper management of these lesions greatly reduces the incidence of invasive cervical cancer. Pap smear remains the most effective tool for early detection of low and high-grade cervical lesions. In Belgium, screening for cervical cancer is recommended every 3 years for women between 25 and 65 years old. HPV is a virus who possesses certain oncogenic genes who have the ability to inactivate tumor suppressor genes in the host cell. This promotes a tumorigenesis process within the tissues affected by the virus. The majority of human papillomavirus infections are transient and spontaneously cleared by host defense mechanisms, especially in the first two years after exposure. However, 10-20% of infections persist latently and may eventually lead to progression to invasive cervical cancer. Even high-grade lesions kan naturally be cleared, even more so if the patient is young and immuno-competent. Therefore, the management of HSIL lesions in young women has been modified and consists of adopting mainly a conservative attitude, with controls every 6 months for 2 years. This management makes it possible to avoid unnecessary conizations of the cervix which, in young nulliparous patients, are not devoid of heavy obstetric consequences during subsequent pregnancies (premature birth, perinatal mortality). Cervical conization will only be considered for lesions that progress during follow-up or that persist beyond 2 years. However, this type of follow-up requires that patients be compliant. Our study has two main objectives: to determine the compliance of CHU Brugmann Hospital patients who have been proposed a conservative strategy for the management of HSIL lesions. to identify the predictive factors for the persistence and / or progression of high-grade pre-cancerous dysplastic lesions.

This study aims to evaluate the effect of SLN mapping on the incidence and severity of lymphedema in women with early stage cervical and endometrial cancer.

Assessment of the effectiveness of care in certified cancer centres for eight cancer entities via a retrospective cohort study based on secondary data from statutory health insurance funds and population-based clinical cancer registries.

Quality assurance of the laboratory examinations. Retrospective non-interventional study with ThinPrep slides collected as part of the German Co-Screening Program for routine diagnostic. These slides will retrospectively be used to validate the Hologic Genius Digital Cytology (DC) system vs. the ThinPrep Imaging system (TIS).

PreBioGyn will be compared to market leading vaginal pH buffering gels using established forearm test methods associated with vaginal lubricity sensation in 42 women. Women will also rate each gel for smell and appearance using established methods. The PreBioGyn gel enclosure and intravaginal applicator design will be evaluated for: look and feel, ability to prepare for dosing, ability to expulse dose, and likelihood of future use by subjects. Open-ended feedback on the gel and applicator will occur to gather contributions for each product.

This study is a validation study to confirm the ability of Telomescan OBP-401 to identify CTCs in patients with HPV 16 / 18 associated cervical cancer. CTCs identified will be tested for the presence of the HPV 16 / 18 E6 protein, confirming a cervical cancer origin.

RATIONALE: Health education programs and screening methods, such as clinical breast examination and examination of the cervix, may help reduce the number of women who develop breast cancer and cervical cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying the early detection of breast cancer and cervical cancer in women in India.

To study the quality of life of patients earlier diagnosed for cervical cancer and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN).
