Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1. The primary outcome is to measure the percentage of cervical cancers that can be detected using a liquid biopsy. Samples from follow up timepoints will be useful for analysis of treatment and their prognostic value for success of brachytherapy.
2. Measure recurrence in cervical cancer patients through serial monitoring with liquid biopsies (blood sample).
3. Identification of novel cervical cancer susceptible genes or genetic markers in the Indian population.  
0, 3, 6 months. Follow up at 36 months.

Brief Summary  
The current study aims to test if a digital PCR based assay for detection of HPV in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a sensitive and a sustainable tool for early detection of CIN2 and CIN3 cervical cancer. Treatment monitoring and detection of minimal residual disease in more invasive HPV associated cancers.
