NCT ID NCT07673211

First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether pieces of tumor DNA and HPV DNA circulating in the blood can predict if cervical cancer will return after successful first-line treatment. Researchers will collect blood samples over time from 60 patients whose cancer has gone into complete remission. The goal is to see if changes in these DNA levels can signal a recurrence earlier than standard scans or exams.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study focused on observation, not treatment. The findings may not apply to all patients or lead to a reliable test.
