Proton therapy for advanced cervical cancer
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a type of advanced radiation called proton therapy that targets a larger area of the pelvis and abdomen for cervical cancer. It may be an option if your cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes and you haven't had radiation before.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cervical cancer that has spread to nearby lymph nodes or beyond (stage IIIC or higher).
- You are between 20 and 85 years old.
- You are generally healthy enough to care for yourself (ECOG score 0 or 1).
- You have not had radiation therapy to your pelvis or abdomen before.
- Your cancer has not spread to distant organs (like the lungs or liver).

This trial tests whether a precise type of radiation called proton therapy can work well for cervical cancer that has spread to lymph nodes. It aims to see if this treatment can shrink tumors with fewer side effects.
This trial compares two types of radiation (standard photon vs. newer proton) for people with newly diagnosed endometrial or cervical cancer. It aims to see if proton therapy reduces side effects while controlling the cancer just as well.
This trial studies whether proton beam radiation after surgery can better treat certain uterine (endometrial) or cervix (cervical) cancers. It may help by targeting the pelvic area while limiting radiation to nearby organs.
This trial looks at whether adding chemotherapy after standard chemoradiation helps people with locally advanced cervical cancer. You may be eligible if your MRI after treatment still shows leftover tumor areas and your health and blood tests are within required limits.
This study tests whether adding immunotherapy to chemotherapy, then giving chemotherapy together with radiation, works better for advanced cervical cancer. It aims to improve cancer control and help people live longer, without major safety issues.
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel plus cisplatin) given together with radiation therapy for people with locally advanced cervical cancer. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective.
