To investigate the effect of coughing as an intervention to reduce pain in colposcopy guided biopsy.
Overexpression of inhibitors of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) in patients treated for locally advanced cervical cancer with exclusive radio-chemotherapy may have a prognostic role on the local recurrence rate at 24 months.
This study will examine both Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine effectiveness and Primary high-risk HPV PHS screening triage strategies in women living with HIV (WLHIV) by partnering with the Pediatric HIV/AIDs Cohort Study (PHACS) led, in part, by our investigative team. Among WWH, the study will examine the effectiveness of the HPV vaccine The study will screen approximately 810 WWH using a self-sampling kit and those who are PHS[+] will attend a clinical visit to have colposcopy/biopsy and 4 triage tests. WWH with <CIN 2+ are asked to return annually for colposcopy and HPV genotyping for up to 3 yrs. WWH PHS[-] will be asked to return in Year 2 for rescreening. Those PHS[+] will be followed as above and PHS[-] will be asked to obtain self-collected vaginal samples for HPV genotyping annually for 3 years.
Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT), consisting of external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and chemotherapy, followed by brachytherapy (BT) is the standard of care for patients with locally advanced cervical carcinoma. In current clinical practice, conventionally, one radiotherapy plan based on the initial planning computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the pelvis is applied for the complete 5-6 weeks of EBRT. However, there is a high degree of cervix and uterus motion in the pelvis due to different fillings of the bladder and the bowel. Consequently, large safety margins are required to compensate for organ movement, potentially leading to higher toxicity. Lately, daily high-quality cone-beam CT (CBCT) guided adaptive radiotherapy, aided by artificial intelligence (AI), became clinically available. Due to the improved soft-tissue contrast, the treatment plan can now be online adapted to the current position of the tumor and the adjacent organs-at-risk (OAR), while the patient is lying on the treatment couch. Moreover, the German Research Cancer Center offers the unique possibility of additional weekly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in treatment position using a shuttle system. Daily CBCT-adapted EBRT in combination with weekly MRI in treatment position might therefore offer superior sparing of surrounding OAR and consequently reduction of treatment-associated side-effects. However, to the investigators knowledge, no toxicity data for daily CBCT/AI adaptive EBRT of locally advanced cervical cancer with additional MR-guidance exists. The AIM-C1 trial therefore aims to assess the potential of daily CBCT adaptive and AI aided EBRT combined with additional weekly offline MR-guidance in treatment position using a shuttle system.
Cadonilimab, a PD-1/CTLA-4 bi-specific antibody, is being developed by Akeso, Inc. for the treatment of a range of solid tumors, including cervical cancer, lung cancer, gastric/gastroesophageal junction cancer, liver cancer and nasopharyngeal cancer. Cadonilimab was approved in China in June 2022 for use in patients with relapsed or metastatic cervical cancer who have progressed on or after platinum-based chemotherapy. The clinicopathological data of patients with persistent, recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer treated with Cadonilimab were collected, and medical images (magnetic resonance, CT, etc.) before and after treatment were followed up, and the efficacy was evaluated according to RECIST standards. The incidence and severity of adverse events and clinically significant abnormal laboratory test results were collected to evaluate the safety of the drug. Survival benefit analysis is conducted based on the patient's survival time and medical expenses.
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).
Locally advanced cervical cancer (stage IB3, IIA2) patients with postoperative risk factors need better treatment. We initiated a clinical study to explore the effectiveness of adjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by Zimberelimab for these patients.
While there has been a significant increase in the uptake of antiretroviral therapy among women living with HIV (WLHIV) in many low- and-middle income countries (LMICs), the coverage of cervical cancer screening and treatment (CCST) among WLHIV remains low. This study aims to leverage the available infrastructure for HIV care and treatment programs in Nigeria to integrate cervical cancer screening and treatment and conduct a cluster randomized, hybrid type III trial design to assess the comparative effectiveness of a Core set of implementation strategies versus a Core+ (enhanced) set of implementation strategies to implement cervical cancer screening, onsite treatment, referral and referral completion, treatment, and retention in care among WLHIV. The overarching goal is to improve the health and life expectancy of WLHIV with co-occurring cervical cancer.
The studies currently available in the literature about sexual function and coping in cervical cancer are poor and heterogeneous, and their results are often conflicting; therefore, no definitive recommendations can be formulated. Furthermore, it is unclear whether the dysfunction is attributable to surgical sequelae, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or psychological aspects related to cancer. Moreover, a baseline evaluation about sexual function and coping if often lacking. Aim of this protocol is to perform a prospective longitudinal study to compare surgical vs. radio-chemotherapy cervical cancer patients, with the following objectives: - To assess sexual function, coping, emotional distress, and quality of life of patients with cervical cancer undergoing surgery vs radiotherapy plus chemotherapy. - To evaluate changes on the previous variables over 6 months. The results obtained will be utilized for: - planning precocious psycho-educational interventions aimed at promoting psychological and couple well-being in cervical cancer patients since diagnosis - develop tools and educational programs for more appropriate communication about intimacy between healthcare professionals and patients.
