Filter by:To compare the efficacy of cryotherapy and large loop excision of the transformation zone (LLETZ) procedures for the treatment of high-grade cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia (CIN2/3) among HIV-seropositive women by follow-up VIA, cytology and Human Papillomavirus. Hypothesis: LEEP will be more effective than cryotherapy in removing CIN 2/3 lesions in HIV positive women in South Africa
Patients with early cervical cancer are usually treated with radical hysterectomy + pelvic lymph-node dissection. The study randomizes patients in 2 arms. The control arm is the classical surgical treatment including identification of the sentinel nodes, full pelvic lymph-node dissection and radical hysterectomy. The experimental arm is only sentinel node identification + radical hysterectomy.
The study compares the effect of bilateral salpingectomy associated with conservative hysterectomy on ovarian function to the standard hysterectomy with conservation of both ovaries and tubes in terms of hormone assays, ovarian ultrasound evaluation, complications, quality of life.
The purpose of this study is to develop and implement a community based preventive healthcare model using cervical cancer screening as the target medical intervention. The investigators will first conduct 2 pilot studies to refine their preventive healthcare model based on the principles of community based participatory research (1000 participants). The investigators will then apply the model to screen 9000 women for cervical cancer over a period of 7-9 days. This 10,000 patient trial will explore the ability of a community to conduct their own screening program to identify who needs medical intervention based on self-collection and centralized high-throughput low cost human papillomavirus (HPV) testing.
Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) is a widely used minor surgical procedure for diagnosis and treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. During the procedure, several methods have been proposed to reducing pain including submucosal block, paracervical block, and oral analgesics. Submucosal (underneath the lining of the cervix) injection of lidocaine appeared to be the most common methods used. However, from the investigators experience, there is significant pain associated with the injection itself. Lidocaine spray is an effective measure for pain control during minor gastrointestinal and otolaryngological procedures. It is simple without pain related to application. An objective of this study is to examine effectiveness of lidocaine spray versus lidocaine submucosal injection by comparing pain scores at various stages of the LEEP procedure.
OBJECTIVE: to compare endocervical brushing with endocervical curettage with respect to diagnostic and patient discomfort. METHOD: women referred to colposcopy because of abnormal Papanicolaou tests will be randomized to endocervical sampling with either a metal curette (endocervical curettage -ECC) or and endocervical brush. All samples will be submitted for histological study.
Women undergoing a LEEP procedure who receive lidocaine buffered with sodium bicarbonate for their cervical block will experience less injection pain than women who receive plain lidocaine.
This project will use a community based participatory research orientation to develop a model for large scale "campaign" preventive healthcare interventions. The investigators have considerable expertise with cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccination. The investigators also have well tested methodologies for cervical cancer screening that are highly effective, including self-sampling for HPV and improved specimen transport systems. Therefore, the investigators will use these medical interventions as the model preventive health interventions for this project.
The main objective of this study is to determine the maximum tolerable dose and safety of intravaginal curcumin in a normal population of women (women with no evidence of cervical cytological abnormalities by pap testing).
The Gardasil vaccine, a vaccine targeted towards the human papillomavirus (HPV), has been shown to prevent the transmission of several strains of HPV in young women. Women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may not respond as well to this vaccine, either due to having IBD or due to immunosuppressants used to control IBD. This study will test how well women with IBD respond to the Gardasil vaccine.
