Filter by:Clinically, cervical precancerous lesion is one of the important diseases that endanger the life safety and fertility of young women. Women with histopathologically confirmed CIN2 need regular HPV, cervical cytology, and colposcopic biopsy if necessary to assess the outcome and progression of the disease. In this study, we intend to visit Fujian Maternal and Child Health Hospital, Tongji Hospital affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science & Technology and other hospitals, including 300 CIN2 participants aged 45 and below diagnosed by histopathology, and collect the remaining cervical secretions and cervical exfoliated cell samples after clinical examination, even if you do not participate in this clinical study. In clinical diagnosis, treatment and follow-up, it is also necessary to collect the above specimens for relevant medical tests. Therefore, it is of great clinical and scientific significance to explore the role of HPV integrated detection in predicting the prognosis of young women with CIN2.
The aim of the trial is to determine whether organized screening with primary HPV analysis provide higher cancer protection in the age group 23-29 years compared to primary cytology.
Patients are frequently evaluated by physicians for medical work-up of HIV indicator conditions in hospital and in primary care at the general practitioner. Testing for HIV is indicated with HIV indicator disorder but often omitted in clinical work-up. Besides the fact that HIV testing is forgotten, there are other reasons such as an underestimation of the risk of HIV in the event of indicator disorders, stigma and difficulties in discussing the test with a patient. Also and more relevant for primary care than for the hospital, practical challenges can exist for a patient to go to a laboratory, or costs are a hurdle. This project focuses on improving HIV indicator condition driven testing in different settings of the HIV epidemic, initially in the Netherlands as low HIV prevalence setting followed by an assessment of its benefit in different international settings. A specific focus will also be on the Rotterdam area in the Netherlands which has a high prevalence of undiagnosed HIV in the Netherlands. The ultimate aim is to decrease the number of undiagnosed HIV in populations, improve the 90-90-90 HIV cascade of care goals particularly its first pillar, and to help supporting the UNAIDS goal to end HIV/AIDS
Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers in women and one of the leading causes of death in women worldwide. Pre-cancerous lesions (dysplasias) are detected by the gynecologist's preventive smear test and can thus contribute to a 100% chance of cure if they are clarified by a colposcopic examination as part of the dysplasia consultation and, if necessary, surgically removed. Conization (= surgical removal of a cone of tissue from the cervix) is the method of choice for removing the diseased tissue. LLETZ conization (Large Loop Excision of the Transformation Zone) is the worldwide standard surgical procedure for conization. There is risk of local persistence of the precancerous lesion if the cervical dysplasia is not completely removed. To minimize this, the iodine test can be used. Here, a 5% iodine solution (so-called Lugol's solution) is dabbed onto the cervix uteri, resulting in an intense and characteristic brown staining of the healthy cervical epithelium. Sites without staining are termed iodine negative and may contain dysplastic cells. The strength of iodine testing lies in its high specificity, i.e., the reliable ability to exclude false-positive results. The purpose of intraoperative iodine staining is to select the resection line with a high degree of certainty in healthy (i.e., iodine-positive) tissue in order to reduce the rate of cervical dysplasia that is not completely removed (so-called non-in-sano resection, or R1 resection). Systematic survey data from the dysplasia units certified in Germany on the question of the use of intraoperative iodine testing in Germany are lacking, as is the literature as a whole. For example, the current S3 guideline of the German Society of Gynecology and Obstetrics on the diagnosis and treatment of cervical dysplasia (as of March 2020) names intraoperative iodine testing only as a possible option for performing LLETZ. In this prospective, randomized study, the investigators aim to answer the question whether LLETZ performed with the help of an iodine test with selection of the resection line in the iodine-positive area leads to a lower rate of R1 resections compared to the standard LLETZ without iodine test.
This clinical trial aims to find what different tests work best to find high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) in the cervix or anus in patients living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Patients with HIV are at high risk of becoming infected with human papillomavirus (HPV) in the cervix or anus where it can turn into cancer over several years. HPV causes changes to the cervix and anus, known as HSIL. This means that there is an area of abnormal tissue on the top layers of the cervix or anus. It is considered cervical or anal cancer if the abnormality spreads down into the layers of tissue below the top. If found early, many cases of HSIL can be treated before turning into cancer. Screening for cervical or anal cancer detection or HSIL associated with HPV may result in earlier treatment, if necessary, for patients living with HIV.
The overarching objective of this project is to develop a pan-gynecologic cancer detection test using gynecologic (unique endometrial, cervical, and ovarian cancer) cancer-specific methylated DNA markers and high-risk human papilloma virus (HR-HPV) detected in vaginal fluid and/or plasma. This proposal defines Phase II MDM-based cancer detection studies in endometrial cancer (EC) and endometrial hyperplasia with atypia (AEH) in tampon-collected vaginal fluid and 2) ovarian cancer (OC) in plasma and tampon-collected vaginal fluid. Additionally, it defines necessary Phase I MDM-based cancer detection and exploratory aims to test novel cervical cancer (CC) MDMs and test the specificity of cancer-specific MDMs among various common benign gynecologic pathologies.er detection and exploratory aims to test novel cervical cancer MDMs and test the specificity of cancer-specific MDMs among various common benign gynecologic pathologies.
Conservative management of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSILs) seems safe and justified in young women (<30 years), but evidence is insufficient on whether it is also advisable for older women. This study will be conducted to analyze spontaneous HSIL regression rates in women of reproductive age and establish whether conservative HSIL management could be safely recommended to women of childbearing potential, irrespective of age. This is a single-center prospective observational study that will include consecutive women of reproductive age, referred to a tertiary hospital due to HSIL between March 2021 and December 2025, who prefer conservative management rather than immediate cervical conization. All patients will be followed-up regularly with colposcopy, cytology, human papillomavirus (HPV) testing and biopsies. In case their lesions progress or HSIL persists after 24 months of follow-up, conization will be indicated. Rates of spontaneous regression or resolution, as well as progression rates, will be assessed. Furthermore, the association between potential predictive factors and HSIL resolution will be analyzed.
This single-institution cross-sectional non-inferiority validation study evaluates alternative techniques and tests for primary cervical cancer screening programs in Russia, particularly: local cytology staining techniques, local HPV tests.
Cervical dysplasia is the precursor of cervical cancer. LEEP and LLETZ are standard surgical procedures to treat cervical dysplasia. There is no direct head-to-head comparison between LEEP and LLETZ in the literature regarding oncologic safety, for which complete resection of the dysplastic lesion (so-called 'in-sano resection') is the most appropriate postoperative surrogate parameter. Further clinical studies are therefore useful to optimize surgical therapy for cervical dysplasia. The primary objective of the present study is to compare LLETZ (resection of the dysplastic lesion including the transformation zone) with targeted resection of the colposcopically conspicuous lesion only (LEEP) and to compare it with regard to oncological safety (defined as non-in-sano rate).
The aim of the prospective, unicenter proof-of-principle study is to investigate the anti-neoplastic effectiveness of NIPP against CIN III lesions. - The aim of this project is to evaluate the potential of a previous NIPP treatment to significantly reduce the invasiveness of the LEEP excision. - Another aim of this study is to investigate cellular / molecular effects of NIPP following the in-vivo treatment of the cervix using molecular biological methods. For this purpose, tissue treated with plasma is taken after defined periods of time by mini biopsy and examined using molecular biological, histological and microscopic methods.
