A See and Treat Paradigm for Cervical Pre-cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to see if the transvaginal colposcope produces similar results to colposcopy for the screening of cervical cancer. In this study the investigators are using an investigational device called the transvaginal colposcope. The word investigational means that the device is still being tested in research studies and is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Active Comparator: transvaginal digital colposcope (TVCD) Each enrolled patient will undergo the standard of care for cervical cancer screening at her institution, and then the trans-vaginal colposcope will be used to collect digital images of the cervix. |
Device: transvaginal digital colposcope (TVDC)
TVDC is a miniature colposcope used to obtain images of cervical tissue.
|
Active Comparator: standard of care screening Each enrolled patient will undergo the standard of care for cervical cancer screening at her institution, and then the trans-vaginal colposcope will be used to collect digital images of the cervix. |
Other: Standard of care screening
Standard of care screening varies from institution to institution but is either visual inspection with the naked eye, colposcopy, or visual inspection with a camera or microscope
|
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Concordance of the TVDC to standard of care, as measured by weighted kappa statistic [Up to approximately 10 minutes]
The level of agreement between the standard of care diagnosis and the diagnosis of the TVDC images will be reported.
