Reducing radiation-related hemorrhoid symptoms in cervical cancer
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special approach can help prevent or reduce hemorrhoid-related symptoms caused by radiation therapy for cervical cancer. It is for people who have recently had a hysterectomy and will receive chemoradiation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a hysterectomy (surgery to remove the uterus) within the last 6 weeks.
- You have cervical cancer (a type of cancer in the cervix) that needs chemoradiation after surgery.
- You are older than 18.
- You have a history of hemorrhoids (swollen veins in the rectum) but no symptoms for at least 4 weeks.
- You can have an MRI scan of your anal canal before starting radiation.
- You are in generally good health (ECOG score 0 or 1) and have normal organ function.

This Phase 3 study tests whether giving chemotherapy before rectal surgery can work as well as standard treatment that usually includes pelvic radiation. It aims to reduce the need for pelvic radiation while still keeping the cancer under control.
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation therapy given with chemotherapy for people with high-risk anal cancer. The goal is to see if the shorter treatment is just as effective but causes fewer side effects and is more convenient.
This trial tests whether a specific radiation plan that avoids treating the inner groin lymph nodes can treat early-stage anal cancer effectively while reducing side effects. Participants may also receive chemotherapy if they are eligible.
This trial tests if blocking certain blood vessels in the rectum can reduce bleeding and other symptoms from hemorrhoids. If you have bothersome internal hemorrhoids that haven't been helped by other treatments or if surgery is not an option for you, this study may be a fit.
This trial tests giving targeted radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy before surgery to shrink locally advanced rectal cancer. It aims to improve treatment results for patients whose tumors have not spread but are at high risk of coming back.
This study compares two treatment approaches for hemorrhoids that are grades II–III and did not improve with non-surgical treatments. It looks at safety and whether the treatments work better for symptom relief.
