Proton radiation after surgery for uterine or cervical cancer
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have confirmed cancer of the cervix or uterus (endometrial), proved by biopsy
- Your doctor recommends radiation to the whole pelvic area after surgery, possibly with or without chemotherapy or other medications
- You are 18 years or older
- You can sign consent to take part in the study
- Your health/activity level is fairly good (ECOG 0 to 2) within the last 3 months
- You have not had radiation to the pelvis before

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 tests a type of advanced radiation called proton therapy that targets a larger area of the pelvis and abdomen for cervical cancer. It may be an option if your cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes and you haven't had radiation before.
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.
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.
This study looks at whether a type of proton beam treatment can be given safely and effectively to tumors that have already been treated with radiation before. It may help people whose tumors came back or persisted after earlier radiation, using a specific proton method called pencil beam scanning.
