Plasma Circulating Tumor HPVDNA and Transrenal HPVDNA as Minimally Invasive Biomarkers for Cervical Cancer Detection and Surveillance following Definitive Treatment
Trial Status: active
This study is being done to determine if a DNA test can effectively determine the relationship between blood plasma circulating tumor human papilloma virus DNA (ctHPVDNA) levels, urine transrenal HPVDNA (TrHPVDNA) levels and presence of cervical cancer in women and to assess the change in ctHPVDNA and TrHPVDNA levels following treatment of cancer. If this can be determined, the hope is to use this test in the future for screening purposes in low resource settings and for early cervical cancer recurrence detection.

I. To establish the relationship between ctHPVDNA levels in plasma and TrHPVDNA levels in urine and presence of cervical cancer in women being evaluated for cervical cancer in the UNC Gynecology Oncology, UNC Radiation Oncology and Multidisciplinary clinics at Chapel Hill, USA and Kamuzu Central Hospital, Malawi.
