Brachytherapy guided by imaging for gynecologic cancers
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests image-guided internal radiation (brachytherapy) for certain gynecologic cancers. It may help deliver radiation more precisely by using scans done close to enrollment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed cancer diagnosis of the cervix, uterus, vagina, vulva, or possibly urethra
- You must be able to receive internal radiation without MRI guidance (based on your clinic’s standard plan)
- You’re over 18 years old and expected to live more than 6 months
- Your health and daily functioning are not too limited (doctors consider this acceptable if ECOG is under 2)
- You had a pelvis MRI or a PET-CT within 4 months before starting the study
- You can sign consent and understand what the study involves

This study tests a new way to plan a type of radiation called brachytherapy for advanced cervical cancer. It uses virtual images to see if this method can treat the tumor just as well while being safer.
This trial tests a guidance technique that uses ultrasound images matched to MRI (a real-time “map”) to help track the needle position during treatment for cervical or uterine cancer. It may help make radiation treatments more precise for people who are getting curative-intent radiation with brachytherapy.
This trial uses MRI scans during chemoradiation to improve treatment accuracy for cervical cancer. It may help patients who need standard chemoradiation plus brachytherapy.
This trial tests a custom 3D-printed applicator used during brachytherapy (internal radiation) for women with gynecologic cancers. It aims to deliver radiation more precisely to the tumor, possibly reducing side effects.
This study looks back at medical records to understand results after brachytherapy (a form of cancer radiation delivered from inside or close to the tumor) in women with gynecologic cancer. It may help doctors improve future treatment decisions, but you would not have to receive an experimental treatment.
This trial tests a feasibility (“can it be done safely?”) approach that delivers radiation in a shorter schedule for some cervical cancer patients. It also uses weekly cisplatin chemotherapy and includes a radiation procedure called brachytherapy to improve treatment effectiveness.
