Filter by:Given that WLWH are more likely to develop persistent HPV infection and CC, effective screening and the management and treatment of pre-cancerous cervical abnormalities is critical to decrease the global burden of cervical cancer. The vast majority of WLWH live in SSA, where resources are more constrained. Therefore, simple, affordable, and effective tools are needed for the prevention of cervical cancer in SSA. In this setting, the best method for treatment of screen-positive WLWH has not been determined. The proposed study will compare the effectiveness of TA vs. LEEP, for treating precursor lesions (CIN 2/3) and HPV infection in WLWH, identify the determinants of treatment failure, and develop a strategy to predict patients in whom treatment is likely to fail so that alternative treatments can be provided. Moreover, local evidence of the optimal method of treatments is necessary to inform health policy and promote adherence.
Main objective: -To determine Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) prevalence in patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMID) using vaginal self-sampling (VSS), one year after VSS was proposed Primary endpoint: - To determine the prevalence of HPV infection (yes/no) after VSS proposal Secondary objectives: - To describe the HPV typology and the rate of co-infection (with several high-risk HPV (HR-HPV)) in this population - To describe the factors associated with the presence of HPV infection - To determine the rate of HPV clearance after one year, during the second screening at 12 months- To determine the percentage of pre-cancerous cervical lesions and cervical cancer in the event of subsequent cervical smear - To determine the factors associated with persistence (or non-clearance ) of HPV infection - To determine the factors associated with the presence of pre-cancerous and cancerous cervical lesions - To determine the characteristics, tolerance and acceptability of VSS - To determine the rate of cervical cancer screening carried out following French Health Authorities guidelines -To determine the HPV vaccination coverage Secondary endpoints: 1/ HPV typology and presence of co-infection (Yes/No, type) or HPV multi-infection (more than 2 HPV, Yes/No) identified on samples at inclusion and at 1 year. 2/ Explanatory variables: demographic, clinical, biological factors and treatments (corticoids, immunosuppressive treatments); variable to be explained: presence of HPV infection during follow-up. 3/ Characteristics, acceptability, obstacles and tolerance of VPA reported by self-questionnaire (including procedure failures, bleeding and pain). 4/ Up-to-date cervical cancer screening rate in accordance with HAS recommendations at 12 months post-procedure. 5/ Proportion of cervical cytological abnormalities and cervical cancer authenticated on cervico-vaginal smear, if performed (histological confirmation if available) during follow-up. 6/ Explanatory variables: demographic, clinical, biological factors and treatments (corticoids, immunosuppressants; variable to be explained: presence of cervical precancerous lesions and cervical cancer, authenticated on cervico-vaginal smear, if performed (histological confirmation if available) during follow-up. 7/ HPV vaccination coverage rate (measured on initial self-questionnaire) 8/ Prevalence of HR-HPV(s) at second screening at one year, in the case of initial positivity (Persistence of HPV infection (Yes/No). 9/ Explanatory variables: demographic, clinical, biological factors and treatments (corticoids, immunosuppressive treatments); variable to be explained: persistence of cervical HPV infection at one year (in the case of initial positivity).
This is a prospective, single-center, observational proof-of-principle clinical trial at the Department of Women's Health of the University Hospital Tübingen.
The purpose of the study is to test the effect of the administration of a dietary supplement consisting of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), vitamin B12 and folic acid in the treatment of infections with papilloma virus of the cervix.
One of the limitations of organized cervical screening in the Czech Republic is the lack of participation in preventive gynecological examinations. The aim of the project is to evaluate the benefits of self-sampling for HPV DNA in general practitioners' outpatient clinics to improve population participation in cervical screening.
Mongolia is a traditionally nomadic and population is scarce in rural areas. Thus, the medical care service is not sufficient. In 2000, Mongolian government has developed and implemented the millennium project in cooperation with WHO. During the years pap smear analysis of implemented in all rural areas and clinicians, lab technicians have been taught for the cervical cancer screening. However, the project has finished in 2015 and the rural and district hospitals has lost the trained professionals. Still the cervical cancer is in second place after liver cancer in women. The purpose of the study is to identify the type of HPV genotype and to treat the HPV infection by local interferon α2b. Materials and methods: HPV positive patients will be enrolled to the study. HPV genotype will be determined by the PCR in laboratory. Pap smear will be taken and staged by the CIN. Pathological tissue will be taken under colposcopy with acetic acid test. Follow up visit will be done on 10th, 30th days of the treatment. At the end of 90th days of treatment, pap and histology test will be repeated and CIN regression or viral eradication will be evaluated.
This study includes a community-based, two-arm prospective acceptability study, whereby arm 1 consists of an educational session on sexual health and cervical cancer (screening) and a follow-up assessment after 3 months. Arm 2 consists of an educational session on sexual health and cervical cancer (screening) and self-sampling, additionally women will be asked to take a self-sample on-site, followed by a follow-up assessment after 3 months. Attitudes, uptake and users' experiences related to the use of a HPV self-sampling test will be assessed, additionally, the impact on looking for follow up care of self-sampling with standard cervical screening strategies will be assessed and finally the feasibility of an HPV self-sampling in hard-to-reach groups versus educational sessions and standard care will be compared (arm 1 and 2).
This is a phase II double-blind, placebo-controlled study of artesunate ointment for the treatment of HPV-associated vulvar HSIL (usual type vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia 2/3).
Non-RCT clinical trial comparing 5-ALA photodynamic therapy and CO2 laser for persistent high-risk HPV-related low-grade cervical lesions.
Cervical cancer is a relatively common cancer among women living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This study will test women for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection of the cervix. The main purpose of this study is to determine the best way to test for damaged areas of the cervix. Damaged areas of the cervix should be treated and removed to prevent cancer of the cervix. Women in this study will be seen once, twice or three times in a year. Women will provide several samples related to screening for cervical cancer including a swab of the cervix, a self-collected swab of the vagina and urine. Women will have a detailed examination of the cervix called colposcopy and have a few biopsies, or small pinches of the cervix, to look for areas at risk for turning into cancer. If HPV of the cervix is found but treatment of the cervix is not indicated, women will return in 6 months and in 12 months to repeat these tests. Most women will only need 1 visit. Women found to have damaged areas of the cervix at risk for turning into cancer will be referred for treatment. This protocol will compare different tests to understand the best test to identify women at risk for cervical cancer.
