Filter by:Phase I study evaluating the feasibility of using electromagnetic navigation (EMN) for the catheter implantation procedure required of cervical brachytherapy. The addition of EMN to the current HDR brachytherapy workflow has the potential to dramatically improve implant quality and efficiency for the gynecological interstitial brachytherapy program. Implant quality has been reported to be an important predictive factor for local control and late toxicity.
In sub-Saharan Africa, cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among women because of the difficulty in implementing screening programs. The main obstacles in these countries are poverty, lack of healthcare infrastructures and trained practitioners. With the availability of new technologies, researchers are looking for new strategies adapted to low- and middle-income countries to identify cervical precancerous lesions. Current evidence shows that Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) testing is more effective than cytology (Pap smear) for cervical cancer screening in resource-limited settings. Indeed, the GeneXpert® HPV test offers the opportunity to prevent cervical cancer (CC) in a single visit: rapid detection of high-risk HPV (HPV) infection followed by same day treatment of HPV-positive women during the same visit (screen-and-treat approach). However only a small proportion of HPV-positive women will develop cervical (pre)cancer, making it important to select those to treat. This triage can be achieved by colposcopy, cytology and visual inspection after application of acetic acid (VIA). Though VIA is the triage test recommended by WHO for resource-limited countries, it has not yet been widely assessed in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The main objective of the investigators is to assess the performance of HPV-test followed by Visual Inspection after application of Acetic acid and Lugol's iodine VIA/VILI to detect cervical precancerous lesions in a screen-and-treat strategy in Cameroon (sub-Saharan Africa) where there is no cervical cancer-screening program. The investigators organized a successful free screening campaign in Cameroon in 2015 that allowed to identify the expectations of women and their eagerness to benefit from prevention of gynecological cancers and sexually transmitted diseases.
This trial was designed to investigate the safety, response rates and survival outcomes of patients with advanced solid tumors by trans-artery/intra-tumor infusion of PD1/PDL1 antibody and/or CTLA4 antibody ipilimumab plus chemotherapeutic drug and to compare their differences.
The prevention of lymphoceles was assessed using collagen patch coated with the human coagulation factors (TachoSil, Nycomed International Management GmbH, Zurich, Switzerland; NCT Number ICMJE NCT01192022; Other Study ID Numbers ICMJE TC-2402-040-SP; U1111-1130-9121 Registry Identifier: WHO) on 50 consecutive patients with endometrial and cervical cancer stages IB to II who had undergone open hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy (PL). Methods: Each patient was simultaneously randomized in two groups: as a control (side without Tachosil applied) and study group (side with Tachosil applied). All surgical parameters were collected and patients underwent ultrasound examination on postoperative days 1, 6, and 30, and at the end of treatment.
This study examines sentinel lymph node tissue from early stage cervical cancer patients treated with radical hysterectomy and removal of pelvic sentinel lymph nodes (SLN). SLNs are tested for the presence of human papilloma virus (HPV), and results are compared to the HPV-type found in the patients cervical tissue. We hereby examine whether pathologic status of SLNs in patients with early-stage cervical cancer correlates to the HPV status in the SLNs. By means of an up to 5-years follow-up period, we furthermore examine whether cervical cancer recurrence correlates to the histopathologic status of the SLNs and/or the SLN HPV status. This will contribute to the clarification on whether HPV status of the SLNs plays a crucial role for predicting LN metastasis of cervical cancer and also, whether the HPV status in SLNs may have a clinical value as a prognostic factor for disease recurrence in cervical cancer patients and perhaps even a better clinical value than SLN mapping.
This is a first-in-human Phase 1/2, non-randomized, multi-centre, open-label clinical study designed to investigate safety, tolerability, PK, and preliminary anti-tumour activity of [225Ac]-FPI-1434 (radioimmuno-therapeutic agent) in patients with solid tumours that demonstrate uptake of [111In]-FPI-1547 (radioimmuno-imaging agent), and to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of repeat doses of [225Ac]-FPI-1434 Injection in patients with solid tumours that demonstrate uptake of [111In]-FPI-1547 (radioimmuno-imaging agent).
This research is being done to learn more about whether or not Korean American women will improve the screening practices for breast and cervical cancer if subjects receive education and follow-up from community health workers. The education materials may be given via online or in-person. Primary Hypothesis: e-CHEC-uP will be as efficacious as the original CHEC-uP in promoting mammogram and Pap test screening among Korean immigrant women (KIW) at 6 months. Objectives: (1) To develop a web-based platform of the health literacy education component of the original CHEC-uP intervention; (2) To evaluate the acceptability and usability of the web version of the health literacy education in a user testing sample of 10 KIW; and (3) To conduct a pilot study to test the preliminary efficacy of the web version of CHEC-uP (e-CHEC-uP) in 40 KIW.
Prospective study which will recruit participants when they attend for a routine cervical screening. The study will evaluate the use of CINtec PLUS for triage of human papillomavirus (HPV) positive participants in HPV primary screening.
The purpose of the RACC trial is to compare the oncologic outcome defined as recurrence-free survival (RFS) between robot-assisted and open radical hysterectomy for the treatment of early stage cervical cancer.
The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy and costs of this patient-centered approach ("Choice" between two cervical cancer screening modalities) in adherence to cervical cancer screening as compared to the current standard of care within the public health system in Mississippi (Pap test at the local department -"Pap") among un/under-screened African American women in the Mississippi Delta using a theory-based, culturally relevant intervention implemented by Peer Health Educators (PHEs).
