Investigation of Cervix Tumor Oxygenation and Microvasculature Using Magnetic Resonance Techniques

NCT00242034 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 60

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In cervix cancer tumor oxygen levels and fluid pressure in the tumor have been shown to be related to patient outcome. Analysis of the way tumors enhance after intravenous contrast injection using MRI and CT can be used to determine parameters that relate to tumor blood vessels. In this study we hope to determine if there is a relationship between the enhancement of cervix cancer on MRI and CT and tumor oxygen levels and interstitial fluid pressure. If such a relationship exists then it could help improve the care of patients wiht cervix cancer by allowing for more aggressive therapy of patients with cancer that have more ominous imaging characteristics
