The goal of this study is to prevent over screening and over treatment of young women for cervical precancers, which can result in psychological distress and has been associated with future risk of premature deliveries. Current national guidelines recommend that routine screening be performed at less-frequent intervals and that excisional cervical therapies are discouraged in young women. The objectives of this study are to examine physician- and patient-based interventions designed to decrease over screening and over treatment by increasing adherence to US guidelines for women under 30 years.
The purpose of the study is to assess the cumulative disease detection of greater than or equal to Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2 (CIN2) and greater than or equal to Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 3 (CIN3) in the subjects over 3 years using the subject's HPV status and cytology status from the BDS-USHPV baseline results
Significant developments have led to a dramatic change in recommendations for cervical cancer screening. The understanding that the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is the cause of nearly 100% of cervical cancer cases and the development of new technologies for detection of HPV DNA at time of cervical cancer screening, has produced changes in preventive healthcare policy for this condition. In an unprecedented event, the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the American Cancer Society and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommended dramatic and unified changes in screening utilizing this new framework. No studies of significance have evaluated (since guideline change in 2013), whether primary care providers find the new recommendations authoritative and believe in them, or whether providers understand implementation of these new guidelines given the many decades of contradictory and differing recommendations. For this study, the opinions of primary care providers who care for patients in the 194 federally designated regions of Primary Care provider shortage within California will be studied. Using the California Medical Board database of licensed providers, a questionnaire will be mailed to a random subset. It is anticipated that the analysis will show varying contempt, confusion and compliance with new guidelines exists. Understanding these factors will have beneficial health policy implications in terms of overcoming barriers to these cost-effective, less intrusive, and more accurate health policy guidelines in the prevention and early detection of cervical cancer.
The prevalence of cervical neoplasia in Cambodia is not known. There are no screening programs in place. The investigators plan on introducing a screening program based on WHO criteria and utilizing visualization with acetic acid. Patients who are positive will be offered same-day cryotherapy if indicated or will be referred for biopsy, LEEP and hysterectomy as indicated. The planned patient pool for this study is 1000 women, half of whom will be HIV positive (and thus have a presumed higher incidence of cervical neoplasia).
Background: - Cervical cancer is a major cause of cancer deaths among women. Most cases of cervical cancer are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is more common in women who have the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). India has one of the highest rates of women who have both cervical cancer and HIV infection. - Cervical cancer can be discovered in early stages by screening for HPV infection. Researchers want to compare new cervical cancer screening tests for HIV-infected women. They also want to know more about how HPV can lead to cervical cancer in HIV-infected women. To do so, they will hold a study to screen HIV-infected women in India. Objectives: - To improve cervical cancer screening methods in HIV-infected women in India. Eligibility: - Women at least 18 years of age who have HIV infection. - Participants will be recruited from HIV-focused health care clinics in Pune and Chennai, India. Design: - Participants will have a physical exam and medical history. They will provide a urine sample and proof of HIV infection. - Participants will have a gynecological exam. This will involve a pelvic exam and Pap smear to collect cells for study. It will also involve a cervical exam to look for precancerous cells. Cervical tissue may be collected. - Participants will also provide a blood sample for testing. - Participants will return in 2 weeks for the test results. If there are signs of precancerous or cancer cells, participants will be referred to a doctor for treatment.
This study is a phase III, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group comparative study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Z-100 with primary uterine cervical cancer on radiotherapy. The study will use a central randomization with a dynamic allocation using biased coin minimization.
The clinical trial is part of a larger study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of screening techniques for cervical cancer among HIV-infected women. The investigators randomized women to undergo screening with Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) or Visual Inspection with Lugol's Iodine (VILI), along with a colposcopy. All outcome and treatment decisions were based on the colposcopy exam done at the study visit. The investigators then compared outcomes between the two groups to assess the test characteristics of both VIA and VILI.
The study's purpose is to determine if early (2-3 week) versus traditional (6-8 week) postpartum follow up is associated with a higher rate of breastfeeding at 6 months. The study's hypothesis is that follow up at 2-3 weeks postpartum is associated with a higher rate of breastfeeding 6 months postpartum.
The protocol aims at demonstrating the technical feasibility and safety of doing endomicroscopic imaging (both probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) and needle-based confocal laser endomicroscopy, nCLE) during colposcopy, hysteroscopy, and surgical procedures (open surgery and laparoscopic robot assisted or not) to examine all pelvic tissues including cervix, uterus, adnexia, peritoneum, normal and pathologic aspect.
