Pelvic positioning during radiation therapy
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether lying with a neutral pelvis during pelvic radiation improves the accuracy of treatment. It might help reduce damage to healthy tissue.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 or older.
- You are scheduled to receive intensity-modulated radiation therapy for a pelvic cancer (not anal or vulvar).
- You can lift your pelvis and do not have certain back, pelvic, or muscle injuries.
- You are generally in good health (able to care for yourself).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding and agree to the study.

This trial tests a special type of radiation called adaptive radiotherapy for people with certain pelvic cancers. Adaptive radiotherapy adjusts the treatment plan each day based on changes in your body, which may help target the cancer more precisely and reduce side effects.
This study tests whether starting pelvic floor physical therapy early can help women with cervical cancer who are receiving radiation and chemotherapy. It aims to improve quality of life by addressing muscle-related side effects of treatment.
This trial tests a pre-rehabilitation (pre-hab) program to help women stay stronger before and during pelvic radiation for certain cancers. The goal is to see if it improves quality of life and reduces treatment side effects.
This study looks at two different body positions (lying on your back versus sitting upright) during radiation therapy to see if one is easier or better for patients. If you are already getting radiation, joining may help improve comfort and treatment accuracy.
This trial studies how the immune system responds to pelvic radiation therapy (with or without chemotherapy) in patients with cervical or other gynecologic cancers. It may help explain why some treatments work better and could lead to better treatments in the future.
This study looks at sexual side effects after pelvic radiation for certain cancers of the female reproductive organs. It may help improve how these problems are understood and managed after treatment.
