Overview

Female patients with either uterine/cervical malignancies will be evaluated for vaginal elasticity using vaginal tactile imaging both before and after radiation treatment.

Patients will be recruited and sign a consent form. The patients included are patients with either uterine/cervical malignancies. Each participant undergoes radiation treatment either as primary or complementary treatment. Assessment of vaginal elasticity via vaginal tactile imaging will be performed at 3 different points: * Before the first treatment session (baseline). * After the last session of laser treatment. * 3 months post final treatment. Every patient will serve as her own control. Demographic, gynecologic and obstetric history will be obtained from patients' electronic files.
