You are being asked to take part in this study because you have been diagnosed with cervical cancer which is locally advanced and not suitable for surgery. The alternative to treatment on this trial is to receive standard cisplatin chemotherapy given at the same time as radiation. The purpose of ...

The Pap test (or Pap smear) looks for cancers and pre-cancers in the cervix (the lower part of the uterus that opens into the vagina). Pre-cancers are cell changes that might become cancer if they are not detected sooner or treated right away.

The purpose of this research study is to determine if pelvic floor therapy is effective in treating pain related sexual dysfunction. We are interested in examining pelvic floor therapy (a type of gynecologic physical therapy) as an intervention for sexual dysfunction.

We are looking for adults ages 18 and older with primary cold agglutinin disease to take part in a clinical research study – as part of the CAD Studies. The purpose of the CAD Studies is to determine the safety and effectiveness of an investigational medication for primary CAgD. Individuals ...

The following trial is a multicenter and prospective research trial of the colposcopy unit of luebeck university and the national research center in Borstel, Germany. The study is to identify and evaluate new biomarkers in human papilloma virus (HPV) associated malignancies and its preinvasive lesions of the cervix uteri. Fresh ...

The objective of the work described in this protocol is to determine the optical signatures of cervical dysplasia using optical technologies.

The development of cervical dysplasia (precursor to cervical cancer) and cervical cancer requires infection with one of several cancer causing subtypes of the human papilloma virus (HPV). There are over 100 subtypes of HPV, and most are not cancer causing. In the past, North American data has shown that 70% ...

Intra-treatment PETs have only recently been studied in small pilot series. In rectal cancer, a prospective trial from MSKCC demonstrated that a PET-CT obtained in the second week of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy was able to discriminate sub-optimal responders with a sensitivity of 94% and an accuracy of 78%, though the most ...

Concurrent radiation therapy and chemotherapy is the standard of care for locally advanced cervical cancer. While there are several acceptable means to boost the disease in the low pelvis (i.e. brachytherapy, IMRT, or external beam), there is limited research into minimal invasive surgical resection after maximal downstage. This protocol is ...
