Evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) with albumin-bound paclitaxel and carboplatin followed by chemoradiation therapy (CRT) for stage IIIC cervical cancer patients with carcinoma >4 cm in greatest dimension and/or lymph node >2cm in short axis.
Breast cancer incidence is increasing in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and breast cancer mortality is high in these regions largely due to late stage diagnoses. This is true in the low-income East African country of Rwanda, where there are no national protocols in place to guide evaluation and referral of breast symptoms at primary health facilities. This study will use quantitative and qualitative methods to examine implementation of the Women's Cancer Early Detection Program (WCEDP) in order to understand optimal strategies to scale and sustain breast cancer early diagnosis in Rwanda and other limited-resource settings. The WCEDP is an adaptation of a prior intervention in Burera District, which focused on building community awareness of breast symptoms, improving clinicians' clinical breast assessment (CBA) skills, and implementing weekly breast clinics at the primary health care center and hospital levels. The Burera intervention was associated with improvements in health care workers' knowledge and skills, increases in care-seeking and receipt of care by women with breast symptoms, and an increase in early-stage breast cancer diagnoses.
A study on two different methods of invitation to participate to the cervical cancer screening programme will be conducted within a demonstration project to switch from cytology-based screening to HPV-based screening using self-sampling delivered through the network of pharmacy offices among regular screening attendants in the Barcelona Metropolitana Sud Area, in Catalonia. At the moment, eligible women are invited to participate to cervical cancer screening via a telephone call invitation explaining the new self-sampling method. Invitation via SMS containing a link to a webpage with information on most frequent questions might be an adequate alternative method that would save costs and workload on human resources. The aim of this study is to assess the impact on cervical cancer screening participation of an invitation method based on text messaging (SMS). The invitation method will be evaluated through an interventional trial, in which we will compare the invitation to cervical cancer screening using SMS versus a telephone call invitation explaining the new self-sampling method.
For African American women (AAW) in Houston, cervical cancer mortality is disproportionate to their racial and ethnic counterparts.Most notably, lack of human papillomavirus (HPV) screening, vaccination, and later diagnosis increase cervical cancer mortality. However, cervical cancer is largely preventable. While previous research has identified only a few social determinants that are specifically related to cervical cancer, there may be a host of additional social and cultural factors that contribute to a lack of preventative behavior. The overall objective of the proposed study is to gather preliminary data to determine whether the use of concept mapping methodology is useful in identifying unique sociocultural determinants of cervical cancer prevention behavior, and to pilot test the feasibility of a podcast video developed using the information garnered from the concept mapping procedure. It is hypothesized that the resulting podcast video will increase HPV knowledge and behavioral intentions. Proof of concept and feasibility are needed first, in determining the utility of both the methodology and media development procedures, as well as data on preliminary effect outcomes, before further investigation and program development.
The goal of this operational research study is to develop, implement and test integrated CCS&PT and voluntary FP service delivery models to evaluate whether integrated service delivery can optimize uptake and health impact of both services. The study objectives and learning questions are listed below, along with key outcomes that will be measured.
This pilot study aims to monitor early tumour response based on [18F]FLT-PET/MRI scans and to determine the feasibility of personalised radiotherapy to spare active bone marrow areas identified by [18F]FLT-PET/MRI. Bone marrow within the pelvis will be outlined by employing 18FLT PET to identify active BM within bony structures. Subsequently, treatment plans with various conformal radiotherapy techniques will be generated with different optimization approaches toward bone marrow while ensuring adequate tumor coverage. Dosimetric comparison amongst plans will be carried out.
This study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of the motivational interviewing technique applied to menopausal women on their participation in breast and cervical cancer screenings. This is a randomized controlled intervention study in which the study sample will consist of 120 menopausal women, who visit the health care centers in the city of Kutahya. There will be one intervention group with a total of 60 participants and a control group with the same number of participants. The intervention group will have motivational interviews whereas the control group participants will follow the normal protocols.
The Pocket colposcope has 510k FDA clearance and has been successfully used in almost 1500 unique patients globally in Duke and non-Duke protocols to date. The objective is to provide colposcopy capability to rural communities in Peru potentially using Telehealth. Approximately 10,000 women will receive self HPV test kit for community health workers. Of these participants, approximately 1,000 HPV+ participants will be invited to participate in this pocket colposcopy study. Approximately 500 of these participants may require treatment using thermocoagulation.
Main objectives: 1.1. To evaluate the use of self-sampling for HPV test in regular attendants of cervical cancer screening as a primary sample collection method. 1.2. To assess the impact on the acceptability of an educational intervention. 1.3 Confirm the concordance of HPV detection in the samples collected by the professional and in self-sampling. Project methodology: Randomized, parallel multicenter clinical trial in women aged 30-65 years regularly attending cervical cancer screening residents in the Autonomous Communities of Catalonia and the Canary Islands (Spain). The woman attends the routine screening visit where the health professional collects a sample from the cervical screening. She then offers her the study and if the woman accepts, she offers her the SS as a screening test. The modality of information and practice of the self-sampling is random: 1. Training group): Educational intervention with self-sampling practice: clinician-led explanation on how to proceed with self-sampling prior to collecting a self-sample at the clinic. 2. No prior trainning group): Same training without practicing self-sampling collection. Both groups has a standard of care cervical sample collection by a clinician. Women are asked to return a self-sampling specimen one month after the baseline visit together with an acceptability questionnaire on self-sampling use. Acceptability will be analyzed according to two definitions: - proportion of women who returned the self-sampling device, - proportion of women who report wanting to use self-sampling in future screens in the acceptability questionnaire. HPV agreement between collection methods will be calculated using Cohen's Kappa coefficient. Cost-effectiveness analisis will be done on public health system by a mathematical model of the cervical cancer natural history and HPV, adjusted for data in Spain. Self-sampling device uses in this trial is Evalyn Brush from Rovers and the HPV detection is COBAS 4800 from Roche.
