Active clinical trials for "Uterine Cervical Neoplasms"

The ABRAX trial is multicentre retrospective cohort study. Included are patients with negative LN in clinical staging, in whom LN involvement is detected intraoperatively. Completion or abandonment of planned cervical procedure stratifies the cohort in two subgroups in which oncological outcome and morbidity will be compared. The investigators hypothesise that in patients with intraoperative LN involvement, a completion of radical hysterectomy or other cervical procedure does not improve oncological outcome of definitive chemoradiation.

Persistent infections with high-risk subtypes of the human papillomavirus (HPV) are recognized as the etiological factor for developing cervical cancer. The aim od this study was to identify a miRNA profile in patients with early-stage cervical cancer with positive lymph node metastasis treated. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples of patients with a diagnosis of early-stage cervical cancer treated by radical hysterectomy with lymphadenectomy were collected.

The aims of the present study are to assess the effects of a hrHPV self-sampling test as strategies to reach non-attending women in organized cervical screening in comparison with standard recall by letter in 8000 women; to evaluate the performance of two self sampling devices with and without a preservative buffer and to explore their acceptability among invited women and to evaluate a molecular triage approach for management of HPV positive women in self sampling collected material by HPV genotyping and DNA methylation marker panel

This project aims to optimize cervical cancer screening adherence comparing Arm A (VIA) and Arm B self-sampled Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) testing and determine the molecular epidemiology of HPV, persistence level and identify factors responsible for persistence, and also characterizing the potential dysplasia by biomarkers that describe the disease stage in a population of Ethiopia. A cluster-randomized trial will be used in this study. The total number of ten kebele's(Smallest administrative unit) will be randomly classified in to two arms(VIA and HPV+VIA).Community health workers will be used as a cluster for randomization. Community sensitization and awareness creation will be performed at health facilities and in communities at social, business or religious gatherings, about cervical cancer and its prevention for eligible women in both arms. Women will be educated about cervical cancer and advice for testing at the Hospital offering VIA (arm A). Women will also be instructed to undergo HPV self-sampling at nearby health posts with a vaginal evalyn brush (arm B). All eligible women on each cluster will be included in the study at both arms. Based on the community health workers number and structure study area there will be about 22 clusters with 80 eligible women on each cluster. Brushes will be sent to the Microbiology Laboratory of Department of Microbiology,Immunology and Parasitology,College of Health Sciences, Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa, where the laboratory service is sated-up . Trained Microbiologists will perform the laboratory analysis at the HPV laboratory. Only women with samples positive for high-risk HPV (hrHPV) will be contacted and informed to go to the Hospital offering VIA. Further tests will also be performed from the brushes at the collaborators' HPV laboratory, Germany to better characterize the dysplesia. The women found positive for VIA or hrHPV+VIA will receive cryo treatment at Butajira Hospital. To evaluate the long-term effect and factors for persistence, all eligible women within the catchment area will be visited after 2 years door to-door and asked for a vaginal self-sample and HPV-genotype test. The impact of intervention, factors associated with HPV infection, persistence, clearance, and adherence to the screening service will be seen.

The Study goals are to test feasibility and acceptability of point of care HPV testing with 227 women already accessing an existing cancer screening program in Mumbai, India. Describe HPV infection types in women screened. Compare if the quality of HPV clinician-collected and self-collected samples are equally efficient to detect HPV and cervical cancer precursor lesions. Compare the agreement between HPV GeneXpert and HPV HC2 test on the clinician-collected sample

Locally advanced cervical cáncer continues to be a public health problem in emergent economies, even though treatment is very well standardized, recurrence rate is still high, making necessary to evaluate prognostic clinical and pathological factors. The aim of this study is to evaluate clinical and pathological prognostic factor in terms of treatment outcomes, disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in a retrospective cohort of patients with LACC treated with standard chemoradiotherapy in a reference center in México.

Small scale data indicate that cervical cancer screening participation may increase when self-sampling (SS) devices are offered directly by health care workers to non-screened woman, when those woman contact health services for whatever reason. The purpose of the current research is to reproduce the early findings of a MSc project conducted in a general practitioners (GP) group practice in Brussels, where women not screened since >3 years randomized to direct reception of a SS kit yielded a response of 78% vs 51% in the control arm. BELGSSAR will also investigate whether GP's have the information on the most important risk factors for cervical cancer available in their patient files.

In previous studies, the investigators found that five factors were effective in predicting the probability of locally advanced cervical cancer with para-aortic lymph node metastasis.A retrospective study was conducted to explore the influence of 5 factors on PFS in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer receiving radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

This study will evaluate the safety of bevacizumab (Avastin®) combined with standard chemotherapy in participant with advanced cervical cancer, with special focus on the incidence of gastrointestinal (GI) and genitourinary (GU) fistulas and GI perforations in the common practice setting.

A study to investigate the compliance of unassisted women to self-collection of specimens for Hybrid Capture (HC) for detection of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) DNA compared to Pap smear collection by medical personnel, as screening method to identify precursor lesions of cervical cancer.
