Filter by:RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Cediranib maleate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether carboplatin and paclitaxel are more effective when given with or without cediranib maleate in treating patients with cervical cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying giving carboplatin and paclitaxel together with cediranib maleate to see how well it works compared with giving carboplatin and paclitaxel together with a placebo in treating patients with metastatic or recurrent cervical cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.
The current study will elucidate the human papillomavirus type distribution in a population of women diagnosed with cervical high grade pre-cancerous lesions and invasive cervical cancer in Sri Lanka.
RATIONALE: Gathering information from patients who have undergone treatment for upper gastrointestinal cancer or gynecological cancer may help doctors learn more about patients' physical and psychosocial rehabilitation needs and plan the best treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the physical and psychosocial rehabilitation needs of patients after diagnosis and treatment of upper gastrointestinal cancer or gynecological cancer.
The purpose of this study is to see if it is possible to conduct a full study to determine whether the SoloPap™ cervical cell sample collection kit is as good as a clinician performed Pap test in detecting precancerous cervical lesions in females. Begin to determine patient attitudes regarding ease of use and discomfort using SoloPap.
This study aims to determine the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) and to assess the HPV type distribution among women >= 15 years of age, attending routine gynaecological examination in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The aim of the study is to assess the distribution of the most frequent types of human papillomavirus in African women diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer.
The aims of this study are: 1. To determine feasibility of a school-based human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination programme in Tanzania. 2. To measure the uptake and acceptability of two different vaccination strategies in rural and urban schools. 3. To examine the characteristics of accepters/refusers of vaccination and to identify reasons for acceptance, refusal or non-completion. 4. To measure the cost of implementing a school-based HPV vaccination programme in Tanzania.
To increase early detection of cervical cancer by increasing the proportion of Appalachian women, age 18 and older, who receive Pap smears at appropriate intervals and return for follow-up care when necessary.
RATIONALE: Fiber may lessen bowel side effects caused by radiation therapy. It is not yet known whether a high-fiber diet is more effective than a low-fiber diet in preventing bowel side effects caused by radiation therapy. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying a high-fiber diet to see how well it works compared with a low-fiber diet in preventing bowel side effects in patients undergoing radiation therapy for gynecological cancer, bladder cancer, colorectal cancer, or anal cancer.
The purpose of the study is to understand if children with liver and kidney transplants develop the antibodies from the Gardasil vaccine. The Gardasil vaccine protects against Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) types 16 and 18, which cause most types of cancers of the cervix, vagina and vulva. It also protects against Human Papilloma Virus types 6 and 11, which cause genital warts in some people. Gardasil has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration and is recommended for girls and women from ages 9-26 for the prevention of some types of cancer of the cervix, vagina and vulva as well as preventing some types of genital warts. In males that are 9-26 years old, the FDA has approved its use for prevention of some types of genital warts. The Gardasil vaccine is made from a virus like particle and does not contain any live virus. Children with an allergy to yeast should not receive the vaccine since some components of the vaccine are made from yeast. People who have undergone organ transplant are at increased risk of of developing genital warts and cancers related to HPV when compared to the general population. The American Society of Transplantation and the American Society of Transplant Surgeons recommend the vaccine for people with transplants. Studies of other vaccines like Hepatitis B have shown children after transplant have less of a response to this vaccine and are not immune to the Hepatitis B virus. We are interested in seeing if your child will form antibodies (immune response) to the Gardasil vaccine. Your child is being asked to be in the study because he or she is between the ages of 9-17 and has undergone a liver or kidney transplant more than 6 months ago and does not have any signs of organ rejection.
