Radiation after surgery for early uterine cancer
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies giving radiation after surgery for certain early-stage uterine (endometrial) cancer types. It may help lower the chance the cancer comes back, especially for higher-grade cases.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your uterine cancer diagnosis is confirmed by pathology (lab tissue testing), and it is either microsatellite instability type or low copy type
- Your cancer is stage IA with grade 3, or stage IB (per FIGO 2009), and there is not a lot of cancer spread into blood/lymph vessel spaces
- You had surgery including removal of the uterus (hysterectomy) and both ovaries and fallopian tubes (bilateral adnexectomy)
- Radiation starts within 8 weeks after surgery
- Your general activity level is ECOG 0 to 2, and blood tests are normal
- You did not have chemotherapy, and you do not have a prior cancer diagnosis

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 study compares different ways of giving radiation and chemotherapy after surgery for stage III endometrial (uterine) cancer. It aims to find which approach works best to reduce cancer risk and improve outcomes.
This trial tests whether using tumor “molecular” results plus standard risk factors can guide the best type and timing of radiation after surgery for early-stage endometrial cancer. It may help you avoid under- or overtreatment by matching radiotherapy to your specific risk.
This trial compares different “fractionation” schedules (how often and how many treatments) of vaginal brachytherapy radiation given after surgery for certain early-stage endometrial cancer. It may help find a plan that works well while aiming to control 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 studies a shorter, focused radiation schedule given after surgery for certain higher-risk cervical or endometrial (uterine) cancers. It may help reduce cancer recurrence while checking side effects in the bladder and bowel area.
