Neutral pelvis position for better radiation accuracy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether placing your pelvis in a neutral position (rather than tilted) during radiation therapy helps keep your bones in the right spot for more accurate treatment. It is for women receiving radiation for pelvic cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled to receive radiation therapy for pelvic cancer, with the radiation field covering at least the lower part of your spine (L5-S1).
- You are able to lift your pelvis (for positioning during treatment).
- You do not have certain cancers like anal or vulvar cancer.
- You do not have an unstable spine condition, unhealed fractures, or recent muscle injuries in the affected areas.
- You have a good activity level (ECOG score 0 or 1) and are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial studies a specific radiation schedule aimed at the pelvis (lower belly area) for uterine or cervical cancer. It looks at whether this “hypofractionated” approach can control cancer while limiting side effects, especially in patients whose disease has not spread to distant organs.
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 trial studies whether proton beam radiation after surgery can better treat certain uterine (endometrial) or cervix (cervical) cancers. It may help by targeting the pelvic area while limiting radiation to nearby organs.
