This observational study aims to understand how radiation therapy (brachytherapy) affects cervical cancer at a biological level. Researchers want to see if brachytherapy changes the expression of tissue factor and other molecules in cervical cancer over time. You may be able to join if you are a woman aged 18 or older with cervical cancer and are already scheduled to receive brachytherapy. The study is looking for 20 participants. Success for this study means learning more about the molecular pathways in cervical cancer, which could lead to better treatments in the future. The current status of this study is unclear.

Study design

This is an observational study, meaning researchers will watch and collect information without giving new treatments. It plans to include 20 participants.

What's involved

You would provide blood and tissue samples (biopsies) from your cervical cancer or upper vagina before, during, and on the last day of your radiation therapy.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Tissue factor expression in tumors will be measured at 8 weeks after treatment.
