Filter by:The purpose of this study is to will help us understand how two treatments impact women with early stage cervical cancer: a radical hysterectomy, which removes the entire uterus, the ovaries, and fallopian tubes versus a radical trachelectomy which removes the cervix, which is the bottom part of the uterus. The second leaves the rest of the uterus, the ovaries, and fallopian tubes. This means that there is a chance that the woman might be able to get pregnant in the future with this type of treatment. We believe that these two operations need further study to see how they impact women. This study will look at emotions and issues of fertility. The study will also ask about quality of life and sexual functioning. What we learn from this study will help us give better information to women considering these treatments.
Cancer patients may develop side effects during treatment, such as nausea, pain, fatigue, diarrhea, constipation, or shortness of breath. These symptoms may be due to the cancer itself, or due to treatments like chemotherapy drugs or radiation therapy. Doctors and nurses often ask patients about their symptoms, because an important part of cancer treatment is to make patients feel as well as possible. If patients do not feel well, the investigators may need to change the way the investigators are treating you or prescribe therapies that will decrease your symptoms. The best way to find out how you are feeling is to ask you directly. However, during your time between appointments the investigators may not be able to ask you how you are feeling on a regular basis. In addition, even at an appointment, there may be symptoms that the investigators do not have a chance to discuss. The investigators are interested in developing new ways to ask patients about how they are feeling, using the Internet. A special new website called STAR ("Symptom Tracking and Reporting for Patients") has been developed to help patients record this information, so that their doctors and nurses can review it during clinic appointments. This study is designed to help us see if STAR is a helpful way for us to keep track of information about patients' symptoms and quality of life.
This project will examine whether a theory-based telephone intervention delivered by a nurse at the time women are informed of an abnormal Pap test result will increase adherence to follow-up recommendations.
This phase II trial is studying how well PET scans using fluoromisonidazole F 18 and fludeoxyglucose F 18 work in finding oxygen in tumor cells of patients undergoing treatment for newly diagnosed stage 1B, stage II, stage II, or stage IV cervical cancer. Diagnostic procedures using positron emission tomography (PET scan), fluoromisonidazole F 18, and fludeoxyglucose F 18 to find oxygen in tumor cells may help doctors predict how patients will respond to treatment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate vaccine immunogenicity and how well the body tolerates V504 when given with Gardasil.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of topotecan, cisplatin and bevacizumab is effective in the treatment of recurrent or persistent cervical cancer
This research study is evaluating a drug called avastin in combination with standard radiation as a possible treatment for treatment for recurrent pelvic-confined gynecological cancer (i.e. endometrial, cervical, vulvar, ovarian or vaginal cancers).
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and immunogenicity of V503 in comparison to GARDASIL. The primary hypotheses tested in the study were 1) V503 administered to 16- to 26-year-old adolescents and young women is generally well-tolerated, 2) V503 reduces combined incidence of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Type 31/33/45/52/58-related disease compared with GARDASIL, and 3) V503 induces non-inferior geometric mean titers for HPV Type 6/11/16/18 antibodies compared with GARDASIL.
RATIONALE: Bupropion may help people stop smoking by decreasing the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. Giving bupropion over a longer period of time may be effective in helping people stop smoking. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well bupropion works in helping adults stop smoking.
The purpose of this study is to examine for HPV E6/E7 mRNA in tampon self-tests, and compare with the cytological and histological diagnoses. Study Hypothesis: Expression of HPV E6/E7 mRNA in Tampon self-tests are a suitable alternative to the routine cervical smear.
