Biop system's safety and performance in increased detection of High-Grade lesions of the cervical epithelium in women scheduled for colposcopy
Cancer is a global health issue. According to the World Health Organization, Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally, and is responsible for an estimated 9.6 million deaths in 2018. In Israel, more than 30,000 new cases of cancer were diagnosed, and more than 11,000 deaths were cancer-related during 2016. Imaging plays a pivotal role in cancer management, and multiple techniques are used in all phases of cancer management. The overall morphological, structural, metabolic and functional information obtained in imaging is used for improved individualized therapy planning. Different imaging modalities are available during different time points in the natural history of different malignancies: Early detection of cancer through screening based on imaging is probably a major contributor to a reduction in mortality for certain cancers . Once a diagnosis is made, determining the clinical stage of cancer, meaning the extent of the disease before any treatment is given, is a critical element in determining appropriate treatment based on the experience and outcomes of groups of previous patients with similar stage . Precise clinical staging of cancer is crucial. Not only that this clear non-ambiguous description is a key factor that defines prognosis, it is also a chief component of inclusion, exclusion, and stratification criteria for clinical trials. Several cancer staging systems are used worldwide. The most clinically useful staging system is the tumor, node, and metastasis (TNM) staging system developed by the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) in collaboration with the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC). The AJCC TNM system classifies cancers by the size and extent of the primary tumor (T), involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence or absence of distant metastases (M). There is a TNM staging algorithm for cancers of virtually every anatomic site and histology, with the primary exception of pediatric cancers. The clinical TNM (cTNM) classification should be used to determine correctly the clinical stage of cancer and to help guide primary therapy planning.
Transgender men are individuals born genetically female that have a gender identity that is incongruent with their biological sex. For those who have begun or completed transition, they may present as males but still have a uterus and cervix. Thus far, no distinction has been made between routine cervical cancer screening guidelines in non-transgender women and those for transgender men, despite wide variations in sexual practices, including lifelong vaginal abstinence. The purpose of this study is to offer transgender men seen at clinic visits self-collected HPV testing to evaluate for improved cervical cancer screening rates, as well as a survey to further investigate sexual practices, rates of appropriate screening prior to being offered self-collection, and barriers to obtaining appropriate care.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of a new self-help intervention designed to support individuals (anyone with a cervix) to access cervical cancer screening following the experience of sexual assault, by addressing psychological barriers identified by previous research, specifically shame, low self-efficacy and the re-traumatising nature of attending to sexual health after sexual trauma.
The recommendations on the method and the realization of the cervico-uterine smears are clear. With regard to performing endocervical curettage, several methods are possible without precise consensus. In general, the Kevorkian curette is widely used. However, it is often reported by doctors and patients that curettage is painful. Some articles show that the cytobrush would be less painful. While keeping a percentage of correct curettage failures, it is sought to show that the cytobrush would improve the comfort of the patient during curettage.
The purpose of this study is to find out the impact of the involvement of an influential person(s) (e.g., spouse, partners, parents, children, friends) on Pap test screening intention and behaviors, Pap test self-efficacy, and perceived benefits and barriers to Pap test screening among Chinese American immigrant women. These data specific to the impact of the involvement of an influential person on Pap test screening could be used to develop successful cancer prevention programs that target the specific needs of Chinese populations.
Cervical cancer radiotherapy patients have a decline in quality of life and sexual quality of life
In Singapore, the current cervical cancer screening uptake among women in Singapore has remained at low 50% since its introduction in 2004. It has been widely reported that under-screened women have the highest risk of cervical cancer. Self-sampling HPV DNA screening may be a solution to the low uptake rates of local women, particularly among the under-screened population in Singapore. Self-sampling comprises women using a swab to obtain samples from their vagina. In this study, we are comparing the sensitivity of detecting HPV positive women using HPV DNA test with self-sampling using flocked swab with the current physician sampling method. We also aim to determine acceptability of self-sampling HPV DNA test using flocked swab in cervical cancer screening. Designed as a feasibility study, it will comprise a prospective study of 300 women attending clinics in National University Hospital (NUH) and National Cancer Institute Singapore (NCIS).
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.
