This study collects blood samples to determine if the DNA of HPV that causes cervical cancer can be detected in patients with cervical cancer that is new (primary), has come back (recurrent), or has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) and are undergoing treatment with surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and/or immunotherapy. Researchers may use this information to predict response (good or bad) of the cervical cancer to treatment and detect recurrent cancer sooner.

Proportion of patients with undetectable circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) posttreatment in patients with detectable ctDNA pre-treatment
The proportion will be reported along with the exact 95% binomial confidence interval. Additionally will report the mean standard deviation and median interquartile range ctDNA post-treatment in these patients.
Time frame: At 6 weeks post-surgery (cohort 1), at 4-6 weeks after completion of chemotherapy and radiation (cohort 2), 4-6 weeks post End of chemotherapy and radiotherapy (cohort 3), at 8 weeks after start of chemotherapy or immunotherapy (cohort 4)
ctDNA levels
Will be associated with Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage and assessed using linear regression, reporting the correlation as well as the model estimates.
Time frame: Baseline
Clinical tumor response
Will be assessed for association with baseline and post-treatment ctDNA using logistic regression. Depending on the number of tumor response, or non-response patients whichever is fewer, multiple variable models may be considered including additional relevant baseline covariates such as disease stage.
Time frame: At post-treatment assessment, assessed up to 2 years
Radiographic tumor response
Will be assessed for association with baseline and post-treatment ctDNA using logistic regression. Depending on the number of tumor response, or non-response patients whichever is fewer, multiple variable models may be considered including additional relevant baseline covariates such as disease stage.
Time frame: At post-treatment assessment, assessed up to 2 years
Recurrence-free survival
Baseline ctDNA and ctDNA at measured time points will be considered in Cox models.
Time frame: Up to 2 years
Overall survival
Baseline ctDNA and ctDNA at measured time points will be considered in Cox models. ctDNA other than at baseline will be considered in these models as a time dependent covariate. Depending on the number of events, multiple variable models may be considered including additional relevant baseline covariates such as disease stage.
Time frame: Up to 2 years
ctDNA clearance kinetics
Will be correlated with recurrence-free survival. ctDNA other than at baseline will be considered in these models as a time dependent covariate. Depending on the number of events, multiple variable models may be considered including additional relevant baseline covariates such as disease stage.
Time frame: Up to 2 years
ctDNA conversion
Will be correlated during the active monitoring phase with recurrence-free survival.
Time frame: Up to 2 years
