External radiation given in 25 fractions or so together with weekly chemotherapy and followed by 3 or 4 fractions of brachytherapy is the standard of care for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer. This study investigates the role of shortened external radiotherapy regimen (hypofractionated radiotherapy) by randomizing patients to this …
The study objectives are to improve the treatment of LACC patients and to increase knowledge of the potential benefit of the plan-of-the-day concept on side effects during and after radiotherapy.
The purpose of the study is to find out if a self-administered (by the patient) Papanicolaou (Pap) smear is as accurate as a traditional Pap smear administered by a healthcare provider.
The present study is proposed to compare a rapid fractionation schedule of 1 week compared to a protracted schedule of 6-8 weeks for palliation for locally advanced cervical cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine if ctHPVDNA (circulating tumor HPV DNA) can be used as a non-invasive biomarker for identification and treatment monitoring of cervical cancer by characterizing correlation between plasma ctHPVDNA, urine transrenal HPVDNA (TrHPVDNA) levels and presence of cervical cancer at diagnosis and following definitive …
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 …
From the global burden of Cervical Cancer (CC), 85% occurs in developing countries, representing 12% of cancer in women. In Mexico CC ranks second in incidence and mortality among women. The National Institute of Cancer in Mexico (lNCAN) receives annually about 500 patients with CC, 80% of which are diagnosed …
Current management of patients treated with External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) for cervical cancer with a classical Image-guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) strategy involves a complex, not entirely satisfactory, treatment workflow. Indeed, in our institution, two workflows have been designed to take into account the inter-fraction motion of cervix and uterus …
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of concurrent chemoradiotherapy(CCRT)followed by cadonilimab(AK104) in high risk local advanced cervical cancer. Participants received CCRT,efficacy evaluation of CCRT was no disease progression who maintained with AK104(10.0 mg/kg,Q3W)until drug exposure over 1 years or disease progression or intolerable toxicity.
The investigators propose a home hospital model of care that substitutes for treatment in an acute care hospital. Limited studies of the home hospital model have demonstrated that a sizeable proportion of acute care can be delivered in the home with equal quality and safety, reduced cost, and improved patient …
