Filter by:To determine treatment response to surgical debulking and intra-operative Intraperitoneal Hyperthermic Chemotherapy (IPHC) in patients with the following malignancies: Gynecologic cancers (ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube, and uterine/cervical cancers). Mesotheliomas. GI cancers (Gallbladder, liver, small intestine, pancreas, stomach, colon, appendix). To monitor the toxicities and complications of this treatment regimen. To measure treatment related QOL changes after IPHC.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if the combination of topotecan and pazopanib can help to control recurrent cervical cancer. The safety of the study drug combination will also be studied.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of portable colposcopy when compared to conventional colposcopy (25x magnification of the cervix, the gold standard) and Visualization Inspection with Acetic acid (VIA, with 1x magnification, the accepted low-resource method). Half the participants will be evaluated for cervical pathology by portable colposcopy after VIA assessment, while the other half will be evaluated by conventional colposcopy. This study also will use collected lab specimens for human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive women to determine those HPV genotypes most prevalent among higher grade disease cases (CIN II+) and among the sub-group of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive women.
Objectives: Primary Objective: To perform a pilot clinical study to test multi-modal optical imaging for detection of cervical neoplasia in Brazil. Secondary Objective: Analyze clinical data to establish the imaging modes which demonstrate the highest degree of correlation with disease state.
This study will investigate the types of HPV in samples from women with cervical pre-cancer and cancer and gather information to help investigate the impact of HPV vaccination in Switzerland.
In this study, 50 evaluable patients will undergo one FDG-PET study during their chemoradiation, in addition to the standard of care pretreatment and 3-month post-treatment clinical FDG-PET/CT or FDG-PET/MR scans. From all FDG-PET studies, tumor volume, SUVmax, FDGhetero, and texture maps will be obtained. Evaluating the changes in tumor SUVmax and heterogeneity during treatment will aid in better understanding the role of these biological parameters in inadequate response to chemoradiation. Other researchers, using MRI imaging, have evaluated changes in the cervical tumor volume during treatment. The investigators expect there will be variation in how cervical tumors shrink and change during chemoradiation and therefore we are going to use multiple measures in addition to tumor volume to evaluate cervical tumor metabolic heterogeneity. Being able to predict at diagnosis the patients who are at higher risk for persistent disease following chemoradiation would allow for future studies where these high risk patients could be specifically targeted with more aggressive therapy.
The purposes of this study are to evaluate the effectiveness of vaccination in 25-year old women at the time of their first access to cervical cancer screening, to understand the impact of vaccination on screening activity; to evaluate the immune response following vaccination; to study the dynamics of the infection after vaccination, including the possible change in the frequency of non-vaccine HPV types, to evaluate cytological abnormalities reductions in vaccinated women and to assess if HPV test in urine sample could be a useful non-invasive method to monitor HPV status in younger women.
This was a multicenter, open-label, 2-part randomized study of MEDI4736 administered as monotherapy or in combination with ADXS11-001 to participants with recurrent/persistent or metastatic squamous or non-squamous carcinoma of the cervix or metastatic human papillomaviruses (HPV)+ squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN).
The purpose of this study is to see if a radioactive substance called 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (18F- FDG), injected into the cervix during a PET/CT scan done before surgery can show us more clearly which lymph nodes in the pelvis (the area near your uterus and cervix) contain cancer.
Background: The NCI Surgery Branch has developed an experimental therapy for treating patients with cancer that involves taking white blood cells from the patient, growing them in the laboratory in large numbers, genetically modifying these specific cells with a type of virus (retrovirus) to attack only the tumor cells, and then giving the cells back to the patient. This type of therapy is called gene transfer. Researchers want to test this on human papilloma virus (HPV)-associated cancers. Objective: - The purpose of this study is to determine a safe number of these cells to infuse and to see if these particular tumor-fighting cells (Anti-HPV E6) can shrink tumors associated with HPV and test the toxicity of this treatment. Eligibility: - Adults age 18-66 with an HPV-16-associated cancer. Design: - Work up stage: Patients will be seen as an outpatient at the NIH clinical Center and undergo a history and physical examination, scans, x-rays, lab tests, and other tests as needed - Leukapheresis: If the patients meet all of the requirements for the study they will undergo leukapheresis to obtain white blood cells to make the anti HPV E6 cells. {Leukapheresis is a common procedure, which removes only the white blood cells from the patient.} - Treatment: Once their cells have grown, the patients will be admitted to the hospital for the conditioning chemotherapy, the anti HPV E6 cells and aldesleukin. They will stay in the hospital for about 4 weeks for the treatment. Follow up: Patients will return to the clinic for a physical exam, review of side effects, lab tests, and scans about every 1-3 months for the first year, and then every 6 months to 1 year as long as their tumors are shrinking. Follow up visits take up to 2 days.
