PTSD after brachytherapy for cervical cancer
Part of Cancer, Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether women who receive internal radiation (brachytherapy) for cervical cancer may develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The goal is to understand emotional distress after treatment.

This study looks back at medical records to understand results after brachytherapy (a form of cancer radiation delivered from inside or close to the tumor) in women with gynecologic cancer. It may help doctors improve future treatment decisions, but you would not have to receive an experimental treatment.
This study looks at improving comfort and reducing distress when removing the internal device used in brachytherapy (a type of radiation) for gynecologic cancer. You will be asked to fill out surveys about how you feel before, during, and after the removal.
This trial tests a way to measure the exact radiation dose you receive during internal radiotherapy (brachytherapy). It aims to make treatment safer and more effective for prostate or gynecologic cancers.
This study looks at how cervical cancer and radiation therapy affect the body. It aims to understand why side effects happen, which could lead to better treatment in the future.
This trial studies giving radiation after surgery for certain early-stage uterine (endometrial) cancer types. It may help lower the chance the cancer comes back, especially for higher-grade cases.
This trial compares different “fractionation” schedules (how often and how many treatments) of vaginal brachytherapy radiation given after surgery for certain early-stage endometrial cancer. It may help find a plan that works well while aiming to control side effects.
