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 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 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 type of internal radiation therapy called brachytherapy works for advanced cervical cancer. The treatment is given after chemotherapy and external radiation, and the study aims to see how effective and safe it is.
