HPV Testing Before Partial Uterus Removal Surgery
Part of Cancer, Infections, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study checks whether testing for HPV (a virus linked to cervical cancer) before subtotal hysterectomy (removal of the upper part of the uterus) can help prevent cervical problems. If you test positive, you'd receive a cone biopsy (a small tissue removal procedure) to check for abnormal cells.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- Your doctor has recommended subtotal hysterectomy (removal of the upper part of your uterus, keeping the cervix)
- You agree to have a cone biopsy procedure if your HPV test comes back positive
- You have not had a negative HPV test in the past 3 years

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial checks how well cervical cancer responds to surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy by measuring HPV DNA and RNA in blood and cervical mucus. It aims to improve monitoring during treatment.
This trial tests if women can collect their own samples at home to check for HPV, a virus that can cause cervical cancer. It aims to make screening easier during the war in Ukraine.
This study tests if a self-collected sample for HPV testing works as well as standard colposcopy to prevent cervical cancer. If you've recently had an abnormal cervical cancer screening and need a colposcopy, this trial may be an option for you.
This study looks at women with early-stage cervical cancer (stage IB2) or a pre-cancer called AIS. The goal is to see if testing for HPV after a cone biopsy can help predict if the cancer will come back. Your HPV test results will be tracked over time.
This study looks at whether monitoring HPV DNA in your blood after surgery can help predict if cervical cancer comes back, and whether this information can guide decisions about extra treatment. If you join, you'll provide blood samples before and after surgery to track your HPV levels.
This study looks at doing a diagnostic cervical conization (a cone-shaped tissue biopsy) when HPV remains persistent and there are warning signs, but initial pathology does not show precancer. It aims to find hidden precancer earlier or better understand HPV-related changes that were missed.
