The present study is a randomized, control, phase II/III study of early stage (FIGO Ia2-IIb) cervical cancer after radical hysterectomy in Northwest China treated with radiotherapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy based on the surgical-pathological risk factors. All the patients received whole pelvis radiation and were divided into three groups according to adjuvant chemotherapy: concurrent chemotherapy with cisplatin weekly (40mg/m2) , concurrent chemotherapy with docetaxel plus cisplatin tri-weekly (75mg/m2), or concurrent and adjuvant chemotherapy with docetaxel plus cisplatin tri-weekly (75mg/m2). The effectiveness, and side effects will be evaluated according to Standard WHO response criteria, and NCI common toxicity criteria for adverse events(NCI-CTC-AE) V3.0.
This trial studies magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in predictive treatment response in patients with stage IB-IVA cervical cancer. MRI is a procedure in which radio waves and a powerful magnet linked to a computer are used to create detailed pictures of areas inside the body. PET is a procedure in which a small amount of radioactive glucose (sugar) is injected into a vein, and a scanner is used to make detailed, computerized pictures of areas inside the body where the glucose is taken up. Comparing results of diagnostic procedures, such as MRI and PET, done before, during and after radiation and chemotherapy may help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment.
Background: The Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) acquired by Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI-MR) has been shown to correlate with cellular density. The ADC is indicative of Gross Tumour Volume (GTV), and preliminary data shows that the dynamics of DWI volumes during treatment (shrinkage) as well as dose to DWI volumes has impact on treatment outcome. Hypoxic tumour cells within the primary tumour have been identified to have prognostic importance for local control Tumour hypoxia is caused by insufficiency of the tumour vasculature leading to both chronic diffusion limited and acute flow limited hypoxia. Radioresistant hypoxic cells diminish the rate of local control, and the hypoxia driven increase in metastatic potential of the tumour and lowers the rate of distant disease control. Functional imaging has the potential to visualise radioresistant tumour subvolumes. PET scanning (18F-FAZA) is hypothesized to visualise hypoxic tumour subvolumes, and dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MR imaging has been used to quantify the extent of poor perfusion regions within cervical tumours. Objectives: Primary: Sensitivity and specificity of functional imaging (18F-FAZA PET (optional), T1w, T2w, DWI-MRI and DCE-MRI) to identify tumours with good and bad response to radio-chemotherapy Secondary: Determining whether there are differences in bias between centre. The difference in bias will be assessed for the T1 and T2 scans and the Ktrans and ADC maps.
Background/Purpose: This is a large scale, multicenter randomized clinical trial to assess the feasibility of using SurePath® in cervical cancer patients after radiation therapy by comparing the incidence of unsatisfactory smear and the accuracy of detecting cervicovaginal lesions between the SurePath® and the conventional smear. Patients and Methods: The investigators will invite all women who had received radiotherapy for cervical cancer in the investigators outpatient clinics. All enrolled cases will ask to receive randomly the SurePath® or the conventional smear. Expected Results: The investigators will get the incidence of unsatisfactory smear and the accuracy of detecting cervicovaginal lesions between the SurePath® and the conventional smear in patients who underwent radiotherapy.
Research of predictive clinical and biological factors in breast cancer : genomic, proteomic, mutation
The purpose of this phase II study is to determine the survival free disease of patients diagnosed with invasive locally advanced carcinomas of uterine cervix treated with induction chemotherapy with cisplatin and gemcitabine followed by chemoradiation and definitive chemoradiation.
Although highly curable, cervical cancer kills thousands of women in developing countries annually. The investigators will pilot a project to improve detection of cervical cancer in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania through a program that combines access to cervical screening expertise available in a large medical centre and remote use of a mobile phone camera application.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of WEE1 inhibitor MK-1775 (AZD1775) when given together with cisplatin and radiation therapy in treating patients with cervical cancer. WEE1 inhibitor MK-1775 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving WEE1 inhibitor MK-1775 together with cisplatin and radiation therapy may be a better treatment for patients with cervical cancer.
This research study is evaluating the combination of two drugs called GSK1120212 (trametinib) and GSK2141795 as a possible treatment for recurrent or persistent cervical cancer. Trametinib and GSK2141795 are drugs that may stop cancer cells from growing. Trametinib is a MEK inhibitor - it blocks a protein called MEK that is commonly overactive in tumor cells. GSK2141795 is an AKT inhibitor which blocks a pathway in cancer cells that is commonly overactive in tumor cells called the PI3kinase pathway. In this research study, the investigator is looking to see whether the combination of Trametinib and GSK2141795 is useful in treating recurrent and persistent cervical cancer. Additionally, the investigator is looking to see if participants whose tumors contain a particular genetic make-up will have better response to combination trametinib and GSK2141795. Participants' tumors will be tested for mutations in genes which could make some cancers more susceptible to trametinib and GSK2141795.
