Testing whether blood and urine can be used to detect ctHPVDNA in women with known history of cervical cancer

Have you been diagnosed with cervical cancer? If so, you may be able to take part in a research study that aims to identify a new non-invasive biomarker (blood test) to 1) detect cervical cancer during screenings and 2) track response to treatment, detect early recurrence and guide personalized treatment decisions. In this study we will measure levels of Circulating Tumor Human Papilloma Virus DNA (ctHPVDNA) levels in the blood and urine of women with newly diagnosed cervical cancer prior to receiving any treatment, and then compare this to the levels in samples collected after treatment (surgery of chemoradiation).

Sitting and Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Endometrial Cancer Survivors

This is a research study to find out which type of sedentary behavior, or sitting, is most strongly associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in endometrial cancer survivors. Additionally, we hope to better understand your perception of sedentary behavior and sedentary behavior reduction. The findings from this research study will be used to design a future sedentary behavior reduction intervention for endometrial cancer survivors. Participation in this study includes one assessment visit (during your regularly scheduled clinic visits) where we will measure your blood pressure and arterial stiffness using a blood-pressure like non-invasive device. Additionally, during this visit, you will answer questionnaires, complete a short physical function test (i.e., balance, walking, standing), and be instructed in how to use an accelerometer (movement tracking device worn on your upper thigh) paired with a smart-phone application that will ask you questions about your physical activities and sedentary behavior for 7-days following your
