This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.

What is this trial?

This trial is testing a new approach to help cervical cancer patients tolerate chemotherapy and radiation better. Before your treatment starts, doctors will collect and freeze your own blood cells that contain stem cells. After you finish chemotherapy and radiation, these stored cells will be thawed and put back into your body to help your bone marrow recover faster and reduce dangerous side effects like severe infections.

Chemotherapy and radiation used to treat cervical cancer can severely damage bone marrow, which makes blood cells and helps fight infection. This can cause patients to develop dangerous infections or need to delay treatment. This trial is testing whether giving patients back their own stored stem cells can prevent these serious complications and help them complete their cancer treatment on schedule.

Do you qualify?

You likely qualify if…

you are between 18 and 60 years old
you have been newly diagnosed with cervical cancer that needs both chemotherapy and radiation
you are in overall good health (able to do light activities)
you are not pregnant and agree to use effective birth control during and for 6 months after treatment
you can attend all study visits and follow-up appointments

You likely don't qualify if…

you have a history of bone marrow disease or previous stem cell transplant
you have cancer that has spread to your brain, spine, or bones
you have severe heart disease or active bleeding disorders
you have HIV, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C infection
you have had recent bowel perforation, severe inflammatory bowel disease, or ongoing severe diarrhea

What participation looks like

If you join this trial, doctors will first collect your bone marrow and draw blood to collect stem cells, which will be frozen and stored. You'll then receive standard chemotherapy and radiation treatment for cervical cancer. One day after your treatment ends, your stored blood cells will be thawed and given back to you through an infusion. Doctors will then monitor your blood counts regularly and may give you additional medications if needed to help your white blood cells recover to safe levels.
