Filter by:The purpose of this phase-II study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an aqueous gel containing an antiviral, administered directly on cervix exhibiting high grade squamous or glandular intraepithelial lesion (CIN 2 and 3) in comparison with a placebo treatment.
The purpose of this study is to compare the rate of recurrence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia among HIV-positive women receiving cryotherapy versus LEEP over 2 years of follow-up and to compare the shedding of HIV-1 from the cervix between HIV-positive women receiving cryotherapy versus LEEP over 3 weeks of follow-up.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the non-inferiority of a topical Imiquimod therapy in patients with persistent CIN 2/3 when compared to standard therapy, i.e. conization A randomized, controlled, non-inferiority AGO-Austria trial
An effective and safe medical therapy would be most welcome to reduce the need for surgical interventions and related adverse events and psychological impact on patients with cervical cancer precursors. In this clinical trial, the investigators propose to evaluate the efficacy and safety of photodynamic therapy (PDT) using hexaminolevulinate (HAL) for mild to moderate-grade CIN (grade 1-2).
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.
This meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the efficacy of Topotecan and other treatments for recurrent and stage IVB carcinoma of the cervix
To evaluate whether single- and double-freeze cryotherapy techniques have similar efficacy in controlling different grades of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), and have similar side effects and complications.
Approximately 65 million Pap smears are performed each year in the United States. The vast majority of results are negative (no abnormality identified) but about 5 percent to 8 percent are reported as abnormal. Most low-grade changes regress spontaneously; only a minority of such lesions would progress to a cancer precursor without treatment. However, there is no way to determine morphologically which patients are at risk or progression. Therefore, both high- and low-grade lesions were often managed with colposcopy and directed biopsy. Epidemiologic, virologic and molecular studies have clearly demonstrated that human papillomavirus (HPV) is the central cause of cervical cancer. The motivation for the Atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS)- Low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) Triage Study (ALTS) trial was to use the information we have gained about the role of HPV to design better treatment and prevention strategies to reduce the burden of cervical cancer and its precursors. ALTS consisted of three management strategies: (1) immediate colposcopy of all women; (2) repeat cytology with colposcopy only if the results show a high grade lesion; and (3) HPV testing and repeat cytology in combination, with referral to colposcopy if either the HPV test is positive or the cytology shows a high grade lesion. Four Clinical Centers University of Alabama, Birmingham Alabama (AL); Magee-Womens Hospital, Pittsburgh Pennsylvania (PA); University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma City OK; and University of Washington, Seattle Washington (WA) enrolled approximately 5,000 women with recent diagnosis of ASCUS or LSIL. Participants were followed at six month intervals for a total of 2 years. The ALTS database and ALTS specimens continue to be a valuable research resource in studies of cervical cancer precursors, screening tests, visual assessment of the cervix and investigation of biomarkers.
Cervical cancer is associated with Human Papilloma Virus. About 57% of cervical cancer is the result of infection by Human Papilloma Virus strain 16 (HPV-16). HPV is a very common virus that can affect the cells of the cervix. E7 is a substance that is made by the HPV virus which causes cervical cancer. The purpose of the study is to test the safety, tolerability (how the drug makes you feel), immunology (effects on the immune system) and efficacy (disease curing effects) of a vaccine called Lovaxin C against E7. The vaccine is designed to cause the immune system to react against the E7 substance in a manner that is intended to reverse the changes to the cervix and prevent cervical cancer from occurring.
Up to 30% of Canadian women do not participate in Pap smear screening for cervical cancer prevention despite many being members of family practices and having access to family physicians. One reason is reluctance to undergo pelvic examination. The investigators purpose is to determine whether the offer of vaginal self sample collection for oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) testing increases participation in cervical cancer screening compared to repeat reminder for Pap smear testing among female family practice members who have not previously responded to invitations for Pap testing.
