Smaller radiation area for stage IIb cervical cancer
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial is testing if a smaller radiation treatment area can work just as well for stage IIb cervical cancer. It may mean fewer side effects and a shorter treatment time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 75 years old.
- You have cervical cancer that has not been treated with surgery or chemotherapy, and it is a type called squamous cell carcinoma.
- Your cancer is stage IIb and the tumor is smaller than 4 centimeters.
- You are generally in good health (able to care for yourself and do light activity).
- You are willing to use birth control if you could become pregnant.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation combined with chemotherapy and brachytherapy (internal radiation) for cervical cancer that has not spread widely. It aims to make treatment more efficient while still being effective.
This Phase 3 trial studies how best to treat intermediate-risk cervical cancer using radical surgery, with or without additional radiation after surgery. It may help find which approach lowers the chance the cancer comes back for patients with certain tumor risk features.
This Phase 2 trial looks at a “split” (hypo-fractionated) schedule of chemotherapy plus radiation for cervical cancer, followed by brachytherapy. It aims to see how well the treatment works and what side effects happen, especially toxicity.
This trial tests a feasibility (“can it be done safely?”) approach that delivers radiation in a shorter schedule for some cervical cancer patients. It also uses weekly cisplatin chemotherapy and includes a radiation procedure called brachytherapy to improve treatment effectiveness.
This trial tests a type of radiation that adapts to your body changes during treatment for cervical cancer. It aims to improve accuracy and reduce side effects.
This trial tests a shorter, more targeted type of radiation therapy for people with endometrial or cervical cancer who have had surgery. It aims to reduce side effects by using daily scans to adjust the treatment plan.
