Photon vs. Proton Radiation for New Gynecologic Cancers
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have newly diagnosed endometrial or cervical cancer.
- You have not had radiation to the pelvis before.
- Your cancer has not spread far beyond the lower back lymph nodes.
- You need to be 18 or older and generally able to care for yourself (ECOG 0-2).
- Your insurance must cover proton beam therapy.

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 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 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.
This trial compares two types of radiation therapy (a newer technique called MH-ART versus a standard technique called CF-IMRT) given after surgery for cervical or endometrial cancer. The goal is to see which approach works better and causes fewer side effects.
This study compares two types of radiation therapy (proton and IMRT) given after surgery for endometrial or cervical cancer. It aims to see which treatment is better at reducing side effects while still being effective.
This trial is testing how well two different radiation techniques, IMPT and IMRT, work for treating breast cancer. It aims to see which one is safer and more effective, so you might benefit from a potentially better treatment approach.
