Proton vs IMRT radiation after surgery for uterine or cervical cancer
Part of Cancer, Infections, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two types of radiation therapy (proton and IMRT) given after surgery for endometrial or cervical cancer. It aims to see which treatment is better at reducing side effects while still being effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with endometrial or cervical cancer.
- You have had surgery to remove your uterus (hysterectomy).
- Your doctor plans to give you radiation to the pelvic area, possibly including nearby lymph nodes.
- You have not had radiation therapy to the pelvic area before.
- You are willing to have a rectal balloon placed during radiation sessions.
- You are generally in good health and can care for yourself (ECOG score 0–2).

This trial compares two types of radiation (standard photon vs. newer proton) for people with newly diagnosed endometrial or cervical cancer. It aims to see if proton therapy reduces side effects while controlling the cancer just as well.
This trial studies whether proton beam radiation after surgery can better treat certain uterine (endometrial) or cervix (cervical) cancers. It may help by targeting the pelvic area while limiting radiation to nearby organs.
This trial compares two types of radiation therapy (a newer technique called MH-ART versus a standard technique called CF-IMRT) given after surgery for cervical or endometrial cancer. The goal is to see which approach works better and causes fewer side effects.
This trial tests a shorter, focused radiation treatment to the pelvis after surgery for cervical or uterine cancer. It aims to reduce the chance of cancer coming back in patients whose doctors recommend additional radiation therapy after their surgery.
This trial tests whether using MRI scans daily during pelvic radiation therapy improves treatment precision and outcomes for endometrial cancer patients who need radiation after surgery. The goal is to better target cancer while reducing side effects.
This trial tests whether a precise type of radiation called proton therapy can work well for cervical cancer that has spread to lymph nodes. It aims to see if this treatment can shrink tumors with fewer side effects.
