Using Plasma Human Papillomavirus (HPV)-Related Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) and Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) to Follow Response of Cervical Cancer to Surgery, Radiation, and Chemotherapy

The goal of this study is to test two commercially available technologies for their ability to detect treatment response in patients with cervical cancer following surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy: one based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR; NavDx) and the other on branched DNA (Quantivirus HPV \[DNA\]). A 9-month feasibility study will be performed to examine the side-by-side utility of both NavDx and Quantivirus HPV DNA assays in predicting cervical cancer treatment response. These tests could prove to be highly sensitive methods for evaluating minimal residual disease and for quantitation of response to surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy in patients with cervical cancer. Primary Goal: Feasibility for NavDx HPV DNA assay (Naveris, Inc) to be used for personalized prediction of tumor response before and after treatment. Secondary Goals: 1. Comparability of the Quantivirus HPV DNA/mRNA assay (DiaCarta, Inc) with the NavDx HPV DNA assay and, 2. Feasibility of the Quantivirus technology for measuring treatment response within the first day to 2 weeks of radiation, surgery, or a new chemotherapy.
