Filter by:The current study will elucidate the human papillomavirus type distribution in a population of women diagnosed with cervical high grade pre-cancerous lesions and invasive cervical cancer in Sri Lanka.
RATIONALE: Gathering information from patients who have undergone treatment for upper gastrointestinal cancer or gynecological cancer may help doctors learn more about patients' physical and psychosocial rehabilitation needs and plan the best treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the physical and psychosocial rehabilitation needs of patients after diagnosis and treatment of upper gastrointestinal cancer or gynecological cancer.
The purpose of this study is to see if it is possible to conduct a full study to determine whether the SoloPap™ cervical cell sample collection kit is as good as a clinician performed Pap test in detecting precancerous cervical lesions in females. Begin to determine patient attitudes regarding ease of use and discomfort using SoloPap.
This study aims to determine the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) and to assess the HPV type distribution among women >= 15 years of age, attending routine gynaecological examination in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The overall program goal is to determine the Acceptability and Feasibility of introducing a population based Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) Vaccination programme and understanding the key individual and community factors that would determine the potential acceptability of the vaccine.
The aim of the study is to assess the distribution of the most frequent types of human papillomavirus in African women diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer.
To compare quality of life and it's related factors between gynecological cancer survivor and healthy controls.
The experiments outlined in this proposal will compare a number of currently available techniques for assessing hypoxia and interstitial fluid pressures in patients with cervix cancer. The aim of these experiments is to establish the relationship of the clinically relevant outcome measures of tumour control and survival following radiation therapy with these biological characteristics of carcinoma of the cervix relevant to tumour hypoxia. These characteristics will be assessed in patients undergoing treatment using techniques which have reached an appropriate level of development for clinical evaluation and aim to determine the best technique for determining these parameters of the tumour microenvironment. A number of novel strategies directed at the microenvironment are undergoing or soon will be undergoing clinical evaluation and selection of appropriate patients for these trials is of great importance.
Cervical cancer screening is a worldwide problem especially in the developing world of which Tanzania belongs. It is diagnosed late in the third world because there are no diagnostic facilities and resource people. It occurs in the age groups between 40 and above and therefore affects the productive age of the community. It is well known that women generally are the backbone of every community and specifically in the developing countries. The objective of this research is to analyze and quantify the burden of cervical cancer disease in the community. It will research the interpersonal and socioeconomic issues associated with cervical cancer disease in the family.
Background: - Fluciclatide is a small cyclic peptide containing the RGD tri-peptide, which preferentially binds with high affinity to alpha(v)beta(3) integrins, which are up-regulated in and may regulate angiogenesis. - [18F]Fluciclatide is a new radiopharmaceutical developed for PET imaging - Changes in [18F]fluciclatide uptake will be evaluated before and after treatment of patients with targeted antiangiogenic drugs Objectives: Primary - To determine tumor uptake and retention of [18F]fluciclatide before and after 1 cycle of treatment with targeted anti-angiogenic therapy - Secondary - To assess the safety of multiple intravenous (IV) administrations of Fluciclatide [18F] Injection in subjects with solid tumors - To obtain preliminary data on the relationships between [18F]fluciclatide as a pharmacodynamic marker and standard of care imaging markers of clinical response (e.g. contrast-enhanced (CE) static computed tomography (CT), bone scintigraphy, FDG-PET), obtained as part of routine clinical follow-up as specified in the referring protocols, as well as any optional imaging performed Eligibility: - Patients greater than or equal to 18 years, with documented malignancy, and solid tumor greater than or equal to 1 cm outside of the liver, who are scheduled to enroll in an NCI therapy protocol using one of the anti-angiogenic agents described in the full protocol - Platelet count greater than 75,000 x 10(6)/L, hemoglobin greater than 9g/dL, prothrombin time (PT) and aPTT less than 2 times normal limits. - The subject has not received any targeted anti-angiogenic agents within 60 days prior to pre-treatment (baseline) [18F]fluciclatide administration Design: This study is intended to obtain preliminary data on the uptake and retention of [18F]fluciclatide before and after anti-angiogenic therapy. This will enable optimization of the imaging protocol, identification of the most relevant imaging parameters, and allow for calculation of the number patients required to power a larger study to assess the utility of PET imaging with [18F]fluciclatide as a pharmacodynamic biomarker in the context of targeted anti-angiogenic therapies. We expect to enroll 30 evaluable patients in this single center study. Subjects will undergo at least two [18F]fluciclatide PET/CT imaging studies, one pre-therapy and one following completion of 1 cycle of chemotherapy. An optional early post-therapy (2-7 days post therapy commencement) [18F]fluciclatide PET/CT may be performed. The magnitude of [18F]fluciclatide uptake on the pre- and post- treatment PET/CT studies will be evaluated to determine if there is a measureable difference in uptake. Data from the subject's referring therapy protocol will be reviewed for up to one year. An optional DCE-MRI scans of the target lesion may also be performed.
