Brachytherapy for vaginal cancer
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study is testing a special type of internal radiation (called image-guided brachytherapy) for women with vaginal cancer. It aims to give high doses directly to the tumor while limiting side effects to nearby organs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have vaginal cancer (including early-stage, pre-cancer, or a cancer that came back in the vagina after prior treatment).
- Your cancer has not spread above the level of your belly button (L1-L2 area) or to other organs.
- Your treatment plan includes brachytherapy (internal radiation) – either alone or after external beam radiation and possibly chemotherapy.
- You are in overall good enough health to have treatment aimed at cure.
- You have not had radiation to your pelvis or abdomen before, and you are not pregnant.

This study tests image-guided internal radiation (brachytherapy) for certain gynecologic cancers. It may help deliver radiation more precisely by using scans done close to enrollment.
This trial combines radiation, chemotherapy, and internal radiation therapy to treat vaginal cancer. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective for patients with different stages of the disease.
This trial tests a short course of targeted vaginal radiation (brachytherapy) after surgery for certain early endometrial cancer. It may help prevent the cancer from coming back in the vaginal area after the uterus has been removed.
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 study looks at how well a specific type of internal radiation (brachytherapy) works for advanced cervical cancer. If you have already had chemotherapy and radiation, you may be eligible to join.
This trial tests whether using CT scans (instead of MRIs) to guide internal radiation for cervical cancer works just as well. If you are getting standard chemoradiation plus brachytherapy, you may be able to join with fewer scans.
