Short-course radiation with chemo for advanced cervical cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of cervical cancer (squamous, adeno, or adenosquamous type) that hasn't been treated yet.
- Your cancer is at a stage that may have spread locally (FIGO IB3, II, IIIA-IIIC1 with large tumor ≥6 cm) or to distant sites (IV) but not needing immediate strong chemotherapy.
- You are in good overall health (performance status 0–2) and have normal bone marrow and organ function.
- If you could become pregnant, you must agree to use two forms of effective birth control during the study.
- You must be able to understand the study and give written consent.

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 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 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 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 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 radiation therapy (fewer, higher-dose sessions) for women in Uganda with locally advanced cervical cancer. The goal is to see if this approach works as well as or better than standard radiation while reducing treatment time.
