Trial Summary

Do I need to stop taking my current medications for the trial?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications.

What data supports the effectiveness of the DeepDOF Images treatment for cervical cancer?

The research shows that deep learning techniques can help in diagnosing and segmenting cervical cancer tumors from MRI images, which might improve treatment planning. Although not directly about DeepDOF Images, these studies suggest that advanced imaging techniques can aid in better understanding and managing cervical cancer.12345

How does the DeepDOF Imaging treatment for cervical cancer differ from other treatments?

DeepDOF Imaging for cervical cancer is unique because it utilizes advanced deep learning techniques to automatically segment and analyze tumors from MRI images, potentially improving diagnosis and treatment planning. This approach contrasts with traditional methods that rely heavily on manual interpretation by radiologists, offering a more automated and potentially more accurate assessment.12678

What is the purpose of this trial?

All patients will be enrolled in Mozambique and Brazil. They will provide informed consent to use their cervical biopsy and/or LEEP specimens for imaging with DeepDOF prior to sending for standard of care processing and interpretation.

Treatment Details

Interventions

  • DeepDOF Images
Trial Overview The study tests a new optical microscope called DeepDOF on cervical biopsies and LEEP specimens from participants to see if it can provide detailed images similar to traditional histology without delaying standard care.
Participant Groups
1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: DeepDOF ImagesExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will be approached by a trained research assistant. After informed consent is obtained, each participant will collect two cervical swabs (self-collected and/or provider-collected) as an optional procedure and stored for future research. VIA and/or colposcopy will be performed per standard of care. Cervical biopsy(ies) and/or LEEP will be performed per standard of care. The specimens will be imaged immediately using DeeDOF at the point of care and then submitted for standard histopathologic analysis as shown in Figure 1.
