We are doing this study to find out if pelvic floor physical therapy can improve sexual function for women who have undergone pelvic radiation.

We are doing this study to evaluate an experimental vaccine that is being developed to protect against C. diff infections. We want to find out if the study vaccine is effective for people who are at an increased risk for C. diff. We will look at how well the study vaccine can prevent infections and/or lower the severity of infections.

To join this study, patients must have a new diagnosis of cervical cancer confirmed by a lab test. The cancer can be one of these types: squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, or adenosquamous cell carcinoma. The cancer must be locally advanced, which means it has grown but has not spread far. It can be stage III or stage IVA. Patients cannot have had their whole uterus removed for cervical cancer, but if part of the uterus was removed for another reason, they can still join. They cannot plan to have their uterus removed as part of their treatment. The cancer cannot have spread to certain lymph nodes high in the body. Patients must not have had surgery, radiation, or medicine for cervical cancer before. They also cannot have had immunotherapy or radiation to the pelvis for any reason. Patients must be 18 or older.
