Filter by:RATIONALE: Understanding how well patients comply with their treatment regimen may help doctors determine best treatment and ongoing care for future patients. PURPOSE: This phase I study is looking at compliance with vaginal dilation therapy in women who have undergone radiation therapy for stage IB, stage IIA, stage IIB, stage IIIA, or stage IIIB cervical cancer or stage IA, stage IB, stage IIA, or stage IIB endometrial cancer.
RATIONALE: Supplements, such as folic acid, may stop or delay the development of cervical cancer in women infected with human papillomavirus. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well folic acid supplements work in preventing cancer in women infected with human papillomavirus.
RATIONALE: Pemetrexed may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving pemetrexed together with cisplatin may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects of giving pemetrexed together with cisplatin and to see how well it works in treating patients with advanced, persistent, or recurrent cervical cancer.
RATIONALE: Vaccines made from virus proteins may help the body build an effective immune response to prevent cervical cancer. PURPOSE: This pilot study is looking at the side effects of a human papillomavirus vaccine and how well it works in preventing cervical cancer in women in India with HIV-1 infection.
RATIONALE: A stop-smoking plan that includes health education counseling and bupropion may help African-American smokers stop smoking. It is not yet known whether health education counseling is more effective with or without bupropion in helping African Americans stop smoking. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying health education counseling and bupropion to see how well they work compared with a placebo and health education counseling in helping African Americans smokers stop smoking.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether a system that couples automated screening of Pap Tests with transmission of machine selected digital images, and review by cytologists at a remote location, performs to a clinically effective standard of accuracy.
RATIONALE: Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) may reduce patient stress and improve quality of life. It is not yet known whether mindfulness-based stress reduction is effective in improving immune response to human papillomavirus in patients with cervical dysplasia. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying whether mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) or a general diet and physical activity program has any effects on immune response to human papillomavirus in patients with cervical dysplasia.
RATIONALE: New diagnostic procedures, such as spectroscopy, may be a less invasive way to check for dysplasia and neoplasia in the cervix. Spectroscopy may also used as a screening test to help doctors find cervical cancer sooner, when it may be easier to treat. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well spectroscopy works in diagnosing dysplasia and neoplasia in the cervix in women undergoing colposcopy or Pap testing.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find out if the parametrial nodes are "sentinel" nodes (the lymph nodes believed to be the greatest risk for the spread of cancer) and if intraoperative lymphatic mapping can identify "sentinel" lymph nodes in the parametrium (the tissue that is on either side of the cervix). Identifying these lymph nodes may help to predict the status of the remaining lymph nodes in the pelvis. This research will also determine if India Ink is safe to use with the blue dye and radioactive tracer and if it improves the process of identifying the sentinel nodes.
The goal of this clinical research study is to compare the long-term outcomes of different surgical methods for the treatment of cervical cancer. The long-term outcome of a total abdominal radical hysterectomy (TARH) will be compared against laparoscopy. In this study, the laparoscopy will be done with or without robotic technology.
