Cervical cancer brachytherapy with needles in 3 sessions
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a special type of radiation, called brachytherapy, given in 3 sessions using thin needles. It is for people with cervical cancer that has not spread too far, and who have already had standard radiation treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 21 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with a type of cervical cancer (squamous cell, adenocarcinoma, adenosquamous, or poorly differentiated).
- Your cancer is stage IB to IVA (still in the cervix or nearby tissues, not spread to distant organs).
- You are generally well enough to do your daily activities (ECOG score 0 to 2).
- You have already completed external beam radiation therapy and will get brachytherapy at National University Hospital (NUH) in Singapore.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you agree to follow-up care at NUH.

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.
This study tests whether giving a lower radiation dose to the vagina during brachytherapy (internal radiation) is safe and works as well as the standard dose for people with cervical cancer that has not spread to the vagina. It aims to reduce side effects while still treating the cancer effectively.
This trial tests adding an extra, targeted radiation dose directly into the tumor for women with bulky cervical cancer, alongside standard chemoradiation. It aims to improve local control without increasing side effects.
This trial compares two different schedules of brachytherapy (a type of internal radiation) for cervical cancer. It aims to see if a shorter course of 3 treatments works just as well as the standard 4 treatments, which could mean fewer visits and less discomfort.
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 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.
