Comparing chemo drugs with radiation for advanced cervical cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two chemotherapy drugs (cisplatin vs. gemcitabine) given together with radiation therapy for locally advanced cervical cancer. The goal is to see which is more effective and has fewer side effects.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) before surgery works better than standard chemoradiation for locally advanced cervical cancer. It may help shrink tumors more effectively.
This trial tests a combination of pelvic chemoradiation (chemotherapy and radiation) with a special type of brachytherapy (internal radiation) that adjusts the dose during treatment for locally advanced cervical cancer. It aims to improve tumor control while keeping side effects manageable.
This trial tests adding a new immunotherapy drug (cadonilimab) to standard chemotherapy before surgery for locally advanced cervical cancer. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink the tumor more effectively before surgery.
This trial studies whether adding gemcitabine (a chemotherapy medicine) to standard radiation can better treat locally advanced cervical cancer. It also focuses on whether this treatment is safe and effective for people with reduced kidney function.
This trial looks at whether adding chemotherapy after standard chemoradiation helps people with locally advanced cervical cancer. You may be eligible if your MRI after treatment still shows leftover tumor areas and your health and blood tests are within required limits.
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel plus cisplatin) given together with radiation therapy for people with locally advanced cervical cancer. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective.
