MRI-guided radiation plus chemo for cervical cancer
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a more precise way to deliver radiation for locally advanced cervical cancer using MRI guidance during treatment, along with chemotherapy. It may help shrink tumors more effectively while aiming to reduce side effects by targeting the right areas.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your cervical cancer is being treated with curative (aimed at cure) radiation and chemotherapy, including MRI-guided brachytherapy (BT)
- Biopsy confirms cervical cancer type: squamous cell, adenocarcinoma, or adeno-squamous cell
- Your cancer stage has been checked using standard staging rules (FIGO and TNM), and scans were done at diagnosis including a pelvic MRI
- You can have MRI scans, including an MRI with the BT applicator placed during the first BT session
- Your imaging allows lymph node spread only in a limited area (retroperitoneal para-aortic nodes below around L1–L2)
- You have not had prior radiation to the pelvis/abdomen and you have not had a prior hysterectomy

This trial tests whether an “adaptive” type of radiation planning using proton therapy and MRI-guided brachytherapy can improve treatment for people with cervical cancer. It aims to deliver curative treatment more precisely while still combining it with chemotherapy (cisplatin) when appropriate.
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 studies whether using CT scans to plan radiation treatment (brachytherapy) is as good as using MRI scans, for cervical cancer. If you join, you may receive standard radiation and chemotherapy, and the imaging method will be chosen randomly.
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation combined with chemotherapy for locally advanced cervical cancer. It aims to see if fewer radiation sessions can be just as effective while reducing side effects.
This feasibility study tests whether an MRI-guided radiation approach can be used safely and practically for people with certain stages of cervical cancer. It’s meant to help doctors plan radiation more accurately, while checking whether the treatment process works well.
This trial is testing a combination of standard chemotherapy and radiation delivered to the pelvis, followed by an internal radiation treatment guided by CT scans. The goal is to improve treatment for locally advanced cervical cancer while potentially reducing side effects.
