Filter by:This study will establish the feasibility and accuracy of localising and outlining the uterus on ultrasound images using both healthy volunteer and cervical patient cohorts. This will enable us to determine whether or not ultrasound will be a good option to ensure the correct patient position prior to radiotherapy for cervical cancer patients.
The investigators design a phase 2, open labeled, randomized trial of Tamoxifen (20 mg/day) and Letrozole (2.5 mg) in treatment of squamous carcinoma of the cervix. Forty four patients with recurrent or persistent disease will be recruited, randomized, treated and followed three-monthly for 12 months. The primary end point is the treatment response rates. Secondary end points include survivals, ECOG performance status, quality of life and efficacy of biomarkers in predicting the responses. Candidate biomarkers including ER, PR, GPER and HPV genotype in paraffin cancer tissues as well as methylated genes in the blood will be studied in relation to the therapeutic outcomes.
The results of the study will permit to set up a standardized and validated procedure of pain management authorizing medical and paramedical staff of brachytherapy department to handle pain and in this way to improve the quality of life of the patients.
Activity of COTI-2 has been demonstrated in various cancer tumor models. With its p53- and AKT-based mechanisms of action, COTI-2 is anticipated to be highly relevant in treatment of patients with gynecologic malignancies or head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) as well as a variety of other tumor types. This study is designed primarily to assess the safety and tolerability of COTI-2 monotherapy or combination therapy in patients with advanced and recurrent malignancies to establish a recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) for future studies. Patients are currently being recruited for Part 3 of the study. Critical Outcome Technologies Inc. has been renamed to Cotinga Pharmaceuticals.
The purpose was to establish a quick (7-day) cycle schedule of paclitaxel (60 mg/m2) combining with cisplatin (40 mg/m2) NAC regimen could be tolerated without interfering the following surgical treatment and a favorable overall survival rate for stages IB2 and IIA2 cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of text messages as a means for improving adherence to cervical cancer screening.
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.
AIM: To develop and standardize a cost effective methodology or algorithm for mRNA E6/E7 for HPV genotypes 16, 18, 31, 33 and 45 as compared to commercially available assays which can be incorporated to triage excess false positives from primary screening for cervical cancers Objectives: 1. Development and standardization of methodology /algorithm for mRNA E6/E7 testing for HPV genotypes 16, 18, 31, 33 and 45 using Real-time RT-PCR, in cervical samples. 2. To compare the test performance of this HPV E6/E7 mRNA assay to HPV DNA by HC 2 as secondary screening test, with the reference standard of colposcopy with biopsy, to triage women found positive in primary screening by VIA , in a population based screening for cancer of cervix. 3. To determine number of false positives in the primary screening test after testing VIA positives with a known high specificity secondary screening test (HPV-DNA HC II ) compared to HPV E6/E7 mRNA testing. Study Population: Women in the age group of 30-65 years, who test positive on primary cervical screening test VIA will be enrolled for the proposed diagnostic tests along with reference standard of colposcopy with guided biopsy. Methodology: Women in the age group of 30-65 years undergoing routine cervical cancer screening through hospital ( Preventive Oncology screening clinic) and community based screening programs with abnormal test result using the primary cervical cancer screening test VIA will be recruited in the study. The primary screening test VIA will be administered by application of 5% Acetic Acid to the cervix and visualizing the cervix with the help of a halogen focus lamp. VIA will be considered to be positive if definite acetowhite lesions are visualized close to the squamocolumnar junction.
The investigators have planned this project to evaluate the follow-up program after surgery due to cervical cancer and to explore the possibilities for different tests of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) in contributing to the customization of the follow-up program. Purpose: The investigators effort is to provide the background for an evidence-based update of the follow-up program after surgery due to cervical cancer with the purpose of early diagnosis of recurrence affecting quality of life for as few women as possible.
Data of survival benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) after concurrent chemoradiation (CCRT) for locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) are still limited and inconsistent. We will investigate if ACT has survival benefit over CCRT alone.
