Comparing CT and MRI scans for cervical cancer radiation treatment
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cervical cancer that can be treated with the goal of cure, using radiation and chemotherapy together.
- The cancer type is one of the common types (squamous cell, adenocarcinoma, or adenosquamous).
- Your cancer stage is IB2, III, or IVA (spread to nearby tissues but not distant organs).
- You have not had a hysterectomy (surgery to remove the uterus) before.
- You have not had radiation therapy to the pelvic or abdominal area before.
- Your kidneys are working well enough to safely receive the chemotherapy drug cisplatin.

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 compares two staging methods—using surgery results versus imaging tests—to help doctors plan treatment for locally advanced cervical cancer. It may improve how accurately the cancer is mapped, which could affect treatment choices and outcomes.
This trial tests a more precise way to deliver radiation for locally advanced cervical cancer using MRI guidance during treatment, along with chemotherapy. It may help shrink tumors more effectively while aiming to reduce side effects by targeting the right areas.
This trial uses MRI scans during chemoradiation to improve treatment accuracy for cervical cancer. It may help patients who need standard chemoradiation plus brachytherapy.
This feasibility study tests whether an MRI-guided radiation approach can be used safely and practically for people with certain stages of cervical cancer. It’s meant to help doctors plan radiation more accurately, while checking whether the treatment process works well.
This trial compares two imaging methods (CT and MRI) used to plan a type of radiation therapy for prostate cancer called high-dose-rate brachytherapy. The goal is to see if one method provides better targeting of the cancer while sparing healthy tissue.
