After-surgery radiation schedule for cervical or uterine cancers
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can do daily activities with little or no help (ECOG 0–2)
- Your cancer was confirmed by biopsy and you already had a hysterectomy
- Your case has intermediate or high-risk features that need extra treatment after surgery
- Your surgeon removed all visible cancer (no obvious leftover tumor after surgery)
- You have not had radiation to the pelvis before, and you do not need a wider radiation field

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a special type of radiation that is given in small, spaced-out beams to treat gynecologic cancers (like cervical or uterine cancer). It is for patients who cannot get standard internal radiation (brachytherapy) because of unusual anatomy, large tumors, a narrow vagina, or anesthesia risks.
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 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.
This study tests a shorter, more intense course of radiation therapy after surgery for endometrial cancer. It aims to see if it is safe and works as well as standard radiation, while possibly reducing treatment time.
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 feasibility (“can it be done safely?”) approach that delivers radiation in a shorter schedule for some cervical cancer patients. It also uses weekly cisplatin chemotherapy and includes a radiation procedure called brachytherapy to improve treatment effectiveness.
