Tissue and Plasma Biomarkers of Lymph Node Involvement in Cervical Cancer

Not Recruiting

Trial ID: NCT01546363

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to measure the levels of serum proteins and other biomarkers in cervical cancer patients. We believe that some of these markers may be useful in selecting patients for specific types of cancer therapies. These markers may also help to predict response to therapy, relapse after therapy, and survival after therapy.
