Filter by:The objective of this study is to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of two nutrition screening tools to identify inpatients with malnutrition or at risk of malnutrition. The two tools are the Royal Marsden Abridged Adult Nutrition Screening Tool (AANST) and the Malnutrition Screening Tool (MST)[10] The tools will be compared with the currently accepted gold standard, Patient Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA). Both screening tools are in the form of scored questionnaires and are suitable for electronic input. The ultimate objective is to select an adult inpatient nutrition screening tool with the highest sensitivity for future use in the oncology inpatient setting in order to allow prompt commencement of an appropriate nutrition care plan.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, performance and usability of the Xoft Axxent Electronic Brachytherapy System and Cervical Applicator as incorporated into the physician's current standard treatment practice and in replacement of high-dose-rate after-loaders using Iridium-192 or low-dose-rate Cesium treatments. Data will be collected on treatment delivery, safety, and acute toxicity. Our hypothesis is that the treatment is safe as incorporated into the physician's current standard of practice.
This randomized clinical trial studies the Family Caregiver Palliative Care Intervention in supporting caregivers of patients with stage II-IV gastrointestinal, gynecologic, urologic and lung cancers. Education and telephone counseling may reduce stress and improve the well-being and quality of life of caregivers of cancer patients.
Purpose: To assess equivalence between low cost manual liquid based cytology (pap smear) and standard Thin prep cytology screening. Participants: 100-120 healthy women presenting for standard pap smear screening Procedures (methods): After routine care pap smear, another pap smear will be performed and placed in the study medium. Clinical care pap and study pap will be reviewed by a single pathologist to assess for equivalent findings. Hypothesis: Manual liquid based cytology is equivalent to conventional liquid based cytology.
The main aim is to validate and improve the predictive model for survival and toxicity in patients with cervical cancer through multicentric prospective data collection. The data contain information on patient, tumor and treatment characteristics. For this study, additional health related QOL scores will be assessed using the EORTC Quality of Life Questionair-CX24 and C30. The long term aim, beyond this specific study, is to build a Decision Support System based on the predictive model validated in this study.
This randomized pilot clinical trial studies pelvic floor muscle training in treating urinary incontinence in gynecologic cancer survivors. Pelvic floor muscle training may help control symptoms and improve physical function and quality of life in gynecologic cancer survivors.
The investigators hope to learn whether perfusion CT is a useful way to assess primary cervical tumor microenvironment and whether there is a relationship between pretreatment perfusion CT measurements and primary cervical tumor size, lymph node involvement (as assessed by standard of care pretreatment fludeoxyglucose Positron emission tomography/CT (FDG-PET/CT)), and treatment response (as assessed by standard of care 3-month post-therapy FDG-PET/CT).
HIV-infected women are at high risk of developing cervical cancer. This is a 3-year cohort study nested in the already existing Program for HIV Prevention and Treatment (PHPT) cohort of HIV-infected patients in Thailand (NCT 00433030). The main objective is to assess the prevalence, incidence, and clearance rate of HPV cervical infection and associated cervical lesion. The study will also provide the distribution of the HPV genotypes involved as well as other risk factors of cervical lesions. HIV-infected women receiving antiretrovirals, older than18 years of age, followed in the PHPT cohort or in the same hospitals are proposed to participate. An annual gynecological examination with a Pap-smear and a sampling for HPV testing is performed. Women with abnormal Pap-smear or with High-Risk HPV (HR-HPV) infection receive a more intensive follow-up with a colposcopy and a biopsy if necessary. Treatment is provided according to the National Guidelines.
The goal of this project is to develop and pilot test an innovative approach for overcoming barriers to cancer screening among women with physical disabilities (WWD) in rural Oregon. Many studies have shown that people with disabilities receive fewer indicated cancer screening services and are more likely to have poor cancer-related outcomes, such as late stage at diagnosis, compared to those without disabilities.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a technology using harmless near infra-red light scatter to produce an image. Prior studies with OCT have demonstrated that OCT of the uterine cervix can differentiate between grades of pre-invasive and invasive cervical disease and cancer. This study will evaluate the ability of the NIRIS 1300e imaging (OCT) system to detect pre-invasive cervical disease and cervical cancer.
