Spaced radiation for gynecologic cancers
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a special type of radiation that is given in small, spaced-out beams to treat gynecologic cancers (like cervical or uterine cancer). It is for patients who cannot get standard internal radiation (brachytherapy) because of unusual anatomy, large tumors, a narrow vagina, or anesthesia risks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cervical cancer and have finished external radiation, but standard internal radiation is not possible because of your uterus or pelvic shape, a large remaining tumor, or a very narrow vagina.
- You have inoperable endometrial (uterine) cancer and standard internal radiation after external radiation cannot cover the whole tumor.
- You have a large pelvic cancer that has come back after surgery or radiation and cannot be removed or treated with standard internal radiation.
- You have a condition that makes it unsafe to receive anesthesia for brachytherapy.
- You do not have an existing fistula (abnormal opening) in your bladder or rectum.
- You do not have a pelvic prosthesis (artificial implant in the pelvis).
- You are willing to provide consent to participate.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies a shorter, focused radiation schedule given after surgery for certain higher-risk cervical or endometrial (uterine) cancers. It may help reduce cancer recurrence while checking side effects in the bladder and bowel area.
This trial tests a special type of radiation therapy called spatially fractionated radiation therapy for cervical cancer that has grown large but hasn't spread far. It aims to make the radiation more effective while protecting healthy tissue, and is given alongside standard chemotherapy and radiation.
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 studies whether stereotactic (high-precision) radiation given in a few sessions can control rare cancers that have spread to a small number of sites. It aims to help by treating all known spots while keeping side effects manageable.
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.
