The number of subjects: 200 cases. Research groupings Selective pelvic lymphadenectomy group and The control group was treated with systematic pelvic lymph node dissection group. Follow-up time: 3 years Sample size: 200 cases End of the trial: Primary end-poin:t three-year survival (overall survival, progression-free survival) Secondary end point: lower limb lymph node lymphedema
The LEEP conization is commonly used for cervical pathologies treatment. The techniques for hemostasis usually used are: cautery, Monsel's solution and vaginal pack. Actually, there is no consensus about the best technique and there is not much information that validates the use of some of that. To compare the use or not of vaginal pack as methods of hemostasis after LEEP conization for management of cervical lesions.
This study aims to determine survival outcomes (overall survival and progression-free survival) of primary malignancies of uterine cervix in China and relevant risk factors in a prospective cohort study.
The multimodal imaging technology, OCT-AFI, will be used to image sites on the cervix, the endocervical canal and vulva. The imaging probe is small enough, it can be inserted into the endocervical canal for imaging. The probe can also be placed in a conformable holder that can be shaped to conform the the folds of the vulva for vulvar imaging. The resultant images will be compared to histology images. The objectives are to determine 1. feasibility of the technology in imaging vulva and its capability in detecting vulvar intraepithelial neoplasias 2. feasibility in imaging cervix from endocervical canal to transformation zone to ectocervix 3. if combined OCT with AFI increases the sensitivity of detecting high grade lesions in the cervix compared to just AFI alone (previous work was AFI alone).
This project aims to optimize cervical cancer screening adherence comparing Arm A (VIA) and Arm B self-sampled Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) testing and determine the molecular epidemiology of HPV, persistence level and identify factors responsible for persistence, and also characterizing the potential dysplasia by biomarkers that describe the disease stage in a population of Ethiopia. A cluster-randomized trial will be used in this study. The total number of ten kebele's(Smallest administrative unit) will be randomly classified in to two arms(VIA and HPV+VIA).Community health workers will be used as a cluster for randomization. Community sensitization and awareness creation will be performed at health facilities and in communities at social, business or religious gatherings, about cervical cancer and its prevention for eligible women in both arms. Women will be educated about cervical cancer and advice for testing at the Hospital offering VIA (arm A). Women will also be instructed to undergo HPV self-sampling at nearby health posts with a vaginal evalyn brush (arm B). All eligible women on each cluster will be included in the study at both arms. Based on the community health workers number and structure study area there will be about 22 clusters with 80 eligible women on each cluster. Brushes will be sent to the Microbiology Laboratory of Department of Microbiology,Immunology and Parasitology,College of Health Sciences, Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa, where the laboratory service is sated-up . Trained Microbiologists will perform the laboratory analysis at the HPV laboratory. Only women with samples positive for high-risk HPV (hrHPV) will be contacted and informed to go to the Hospital offering VIA. Further tests will also be performed from the brushes at the collaborators' HPV laboratory, Germany to better characterize the dysplesia. The women found positive for VIA or hrHPV+VIA will receive cryo treatment at Butajira Hospital. To evaluate the long-term effect and factors for persistence, all eligible women within the catchment area will be visited after 2 years door to-door and asked for a vaginal self-sample and HPV-genotype test. The impact of intervention, factors associated with HPV infection, persistence, clearance, and adherence to the screening service will be seen.
This research study is evaluating the safety and effectiveness of 2 immunotherapy drugs in combination with radiation therapy as a possible treatment for recurrent or metastatic gynecologic cancer. The names of the immunotherapy drugs involved in this study are: - Durvalumab - Tremelimumab
Studies show that cancer survivors have unmet needs, the most frequently cited being fear of recurrence (FCR). Moderate to high levels of FCR have been reported by as much as 49% of cancer patients and are more prevalent among women. FCR is associated with psychological distress, lower quality of life, and increased health care utilization. Little evidence exists that these problems are being addressed by current medical management.
Cervical cancer is the most common malignant in women with the average five-year overall survival rate as high as 70%. Radiation therapy is the main treatment for cervical cancer. Vagina is one of the important organ at risk and also a target organ in the treatment of cervical cancer patients. Vaginal radiation has serious related complications that affect the quality of life of patients and therefore needs much clinical attention. But due to lack of sufficient evidence, the clinical dose to the vagina is limited. ICRU-89 defined the recto-vaginal reference point (R-V) as a reference point for vaginal dose assessment. However, the R-V position is affected by applicator placement, vaginal packing and other factors hence the dose point only do not represent the entire vaginal radiation dose resulting in some clinical limitations. The latest research in Europe proposed that PIBS(Posterior-Inferior Border of Symphysis) / PIBS ± 2cm and VRL (vaginal reference length) may be more reasonable to use to assess vagina radiation doses, but it remains to be further clinically investigated. Therefore, this study intends to perform radical radiotherapy in cervical cancer patients and also by recruiting local and foreign hospitals into this study by recording its PIBS/ PIBS ± 2cm, VRL, R-V point dose, acute and chronic radiation injury incidence of vagina and other useful data. T-test and chi-square will be used to compare the data between Asian and European women. Correlation analysis will be used to determine if there is a relation between R-V and PIBS point dose. Furthermore, logic and or COX regression model to evaluate PIBS / PIBS ± 2cm and R-V point doses of vaginal radiation injury relationships, while exploring other relevant factors causing vaginal radiation injury. This is eventually expected to provide a scientific, simple and reliable reference point for vaginal dose assessment and clinical dose limit.
The primary objective is to compare overall survival (OS) for patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer who have histology of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and who have any eligible histology treated with either cemiplimab or investigator's choice (IC) chemotherapy. The secondary objectives performed among SCC patients and among all eligible histologies (SCC and adenocarcinoma/adenosquamous carcinoma (AC) are: - To compare progression-free survival (PFS) of cemiplimab versus IC chemotherapy - To compare objective response rate (ORR) (partial response [PR] + complete response [CR]) of cemiplimab versus IC chemotherapy per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 - To compare the duration of response (DOR) of cemiplimab versus IC chemotherapy - To compare the safety profiles of cemiplimab versus IC chemotherapy by describing adverse events (AE) - To compare quality of life (QOL) for patients treated with cemiplimab versus IC chemotherapy using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30)
Perspectives: - To set-up another clinical trial with this specific phenotype as the main stratification factor. Therefore a more aggressive or a more specific systemic treatment (with or without an immunomodulator) could be proposed to those selected patients in the field of personalized medicine. - To evaluate the use of the smear as a surrogate non-invasive technique to biopsy for immunomonitoring. - To use the CTC/PD-L1 assay as a liquid biopsy in future clinical trials for stratification and monitoring of cancer patients undergoing immune checkpoint treatments. This specific subset of CTCs might represent metastatic cells with a high potential to escape T cell-mediated lysis and might therefore be the actual targets of immunotherapy.
