Reducing hemorrhoid symptoms from pelvic radiation in cervical cancer
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a treatment to reduce hemorrhoid symptoms caused by pelvic radiation for cervical cancer. It may help patients who have had hysterectomy and will be getting chemoradiation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had surgery to remove your uterus (hysterectomy) within the last 6 weeks.
- You have cervical cancer (a type of cancer in the lower part of the uterus).
- You will receive chemotherapy and radiation together after your surgery.
- You are 18 years or older and in generally good health.
- You have been diagnosed with hemorrhoids in the past, but have had no symptoms for at least 4 weeks before starting radiation.

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 study looks at giving radiation and/or chemotherapy before surgery for rectal cancer that has come back in the pelvis. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor and make it easier to remove, potentially improving outcomes.
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 whether giving radiation to a smaller area of the pelvis is enough to treat stage IIb cervical cancer, while sparing more healthy tissue. It may help reduce side effects and improve your quality of life during and after treatment.
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.
