Filter by:The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether educational workshops paired with self-collected high-risk human papillomaviruses (hrHPV) screening will increase participation in cervical cancer screening among Southeast Asian Immigrant and Refugee populations in Wisconsin compared with offering clinician collected screening (total sample size: 250 participants). The investigators hypothesize that participation in cervical cancer screening will be higher among women in the intervention group as compared to the control group.
Gynecological cancers negatively affect women's sexuality, fertility, body image, and self-perception, resulting in deterioration in their psychological health. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of logotherapy on traumatic stress symptoms, post-traumatic growth, finding meaning in life, and spiritual well-being in gynecological cancer patients. No research has yet been found that examines logotherapy's symptoms of post-traumatic stress, post-traumatic growth, the meaning of life, and the spiritual well-being of gynecological cancer patients. The study was conducted in a single-blind randomized controlled trial with 68 women with gynecological cancer. The study is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov NCT… While logotherapy interviews including seven sessions were made in the experimental group, only routine nursing care was given to the control group. The data were collected using the Personal Information Form (PIF), the Traumatic Stress Symptom Scale (TSSS), the Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), the Meaning in Life Questionnaire (MLQ), and the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS). To analyze the data, descriptive statistics and parametric-nonparametric tests were used in the analysis of the data.
The research project applies the protocol of the World Health Organisation for screening of cervical cancer, with testing of hrHPV as first screening, followed by Visual Inspection of the cervix with Acetic Acid for hrHPV-positive women and for women with minor lesions thermo-ablation of affected areas. This procedure is applied in Uganda, India and Bangladesh. In Slovakia hrHPV-positive women are offered Pap-smear and for women with Pap IV lis excision.
This study aims to investigate mechanisms that dictate tumor immunogenicity and to explore potential biomarkers that could help predict changes of tumor immunogenicity and therapeutic response in patients with cervical cancer after chemoradiotherapy or surgery.
The results of recent research on cervical cancer and its precancerous lesions have linked the expression of IMP3 protein to cervical dysplasia and the possibility of severe cervical dysplasia (CIN III) progressing to squamous cell carcinoma. A higher expression of IMP3 protein was found in the cytoplasms of severe cervical dysplasia (CIN III) cells and invasive tumor cells compared to CIN I and CIN II change cells. The sensitivity of IMP3 expression in tumor cells was 96%. In preparations that were IMP3 negative, no further monitoring and treatment revealed squamous cell carcinoma. Further analyzes indicated the possibility of determining IMP3 expression on first cervical biopsy specimens in patients with HSIL ( high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion) lesions as a biomarker to detect a subset of patients in whom lesion invasiveness can be expected.
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a combined strategy of human papillomavirus virus (HPV) vaccination and high-risk HPV screening to reduce the occurrence of neoplasms in the anogenital region and oral cavity among men who have sex with men, people with HIV, homeless people, transgender women, female sex workers and rape victims. Methods: This mixed methods study evaluates the effectiveness of a combined vaccination-screening strategy to reduce HPV prevalence/incidence and occurrence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasms grade 2+ and/or anal intraepithelial neoplasms grade 2+, using Kaplan-Meier. The time-to-event method will evaluate time from positive results for specific anogenital HPV to incidence of anogenital lesions containing that HPV type. Conclusions: This study will generate scientific evidence on effectiveness of a combined vaccination-screening strategy to reduce the burden of HPV-associated neoplasms within vulnerable populations in Mexico.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the toxicity and tolerance of proton and carbon ion radiotherapy (PCRT) for cervical cancer.
cervical cancer is the fourth most frequent cancer in women worldwide and in Brazil, it occupies the third position for the triennium 2020/2022, with a high mortality rate and maintained in the last 10 years. It is associated with persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Primary prevention can be accomplished through vaccines that prevent HPV infection of the epithelial cells of the cervix. Secondary prevention in screening for precursor lesions through periodic repeat cervical sampling in a population of asymptomatic women. Women with abnormal cytology are more likely to have pre-invasive or invasive lesions and are referred for further testing, colposcopy. Colposcopy identifies suspicious areas and guides the best site for biopsy. In the situation of negative colposcopy and abnormal cytology, suspicion for high-grade lesion (HSIL). It recommends further investigation of the endocervical canal before the possible excisional procedure and obtaining an additional canal sample by brushing or curettage. However, to date, there is no consensus and studies lack consistent results on which is the best method for further investigation of the endocervix. Objectives: To compare the performance of additional strategies in the investigation and detection of precursor or invasive lesions in the endocervical canal in women with abnormal cytology (ASC H+) and with initial colposcopy without suspicious images.

This research study is comparing Pap smear collection techniques using the Papette brush to traditional spatula and cytology brush for cervical cancer screening
