Image-guided brachytherapy for advanced cervical cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at how well a type of internal radiation therapy called brachytherapy works for advanced cervical cancer. The treatment is given after chemotherapy and external radiation, and the study aims to see how effective and safe it is.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 or older.
- You have been diagnosed with locally advanced cervical cancer (cancer that has spread beyond the cervix but not to distant organs).
- Your cancer is at stage IB3 to IV according to the FIGO staging system.
- You are scheduled to receive chemotherapy and radiation followed by brachytherapy, with the implant placed in the operating room.
- You are willing to allow your medical data to be used for research, and you have not objected to this.

This trial tests a new way of delivering radiation therapy (brachytherapy) combined with chemotherapy for advanced cervical cancer. The goal is to see if a faster, more intense radiation schedule is safe and effective.
This trial is testing a combination of standard chemotherapy and radiation delivered to the pelvis, followed by an internal radiation treatment guided by CT scans. The goal is to improve treatment for locally advanced cervical cancer while potentially reducing side effects.
This study collects information from patients with cervical cancer who are receiving standard treatment with chemotherapy, radiation, and brachytherapy (a type of internal radiation). The goal is to learn more about how this treatment works in a real-world setting to improve care for future patients.
This study tests image-guided internal radiation (brachytherapy) for certain gynecologic cancers. It may help deliver radiation more precisely by using scans done close to enrollment.
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 trial studies whether using CT scans to plan radiation treatment (brachytherapy) is as good as using MRI scans, for cervical cancer. If you join, you may receive standard radiation and chemotherapy, and the imaging method will be chosen randomly.
