Short-course radiation for advanced cervical cancer without chemo
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies a shorter course of radiation therapy for advanced cervical cancer in women who cannot receive chemotherapy. The goal is to control the cancer and relieve symptoms with fewer treatment sessions, improving comfort and quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 or older.
- You have a type of cervical cancer called squamous, adeno-, or adenosquamous carcinoma.
- Your cancer is stage IIIA, IIIB, IIIC1, or IVA, and may have spread to the pelvic lymph nodes.
- You cannot receive chemotherapy because of a medical condition.
- You are healthy enough to have a good quality of life (WHO/ECOG score of 0, 1, or 2) and are expected to live at least 12 weeks.
- Your blood counts (white blood cells, platelets, and hemoglobin) are within a normal range.

This trial tests a new way of delivering radiation therapy (brachytherapy) combined with chemotherapy for advanced cervical cancer. The goal is to see if a faster, more intense radiation schedule is safe and effective.
This trial tests a shorter course of high-precision radiation therapy given at the same time as chemotherapy for cervical cancer that has not spread to distant organs. It aims to find if this approach is effective and safe for patients with locally advanced disease.
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation combined with chemotherapy (hypofractionated radiochemotherapy) for women with advanced cervical cancer. It may help reduce treatment time while still effectively targeting the tumor.
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 trial tests a shorter course of radiation combined with chemotherapy and brachytherapy (internal radiation) for cervical cancer that has not spread widely. It aims to make treatment more efficient while still being effective.
This trial tests a new way of giving radiation therapy for cervical cancer that uses higher doses in fewer treatments. Researchers want to see if this faster approach works as well as standard radiation while reducing side effects and treatment time.
