Shorter radiation with chemo for cervical cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a shorter course of high-precision radiation therapy given at the same time as chemotherapy for cervical cancer that has not spread to distant organs. It aims to find if this approach is effective and safe for patients with locally advanced disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a type of cervical cancer confirmed by biopsy (squamous cell, adenocarcinoma, or mixed types).
- Your cancer must be at stage IIB, III, or IVA (locally advanced) and not have spread to distant parts of the body.
- You should be at least 20 years old and in generally good health (able to do daily activities without much help).
- Your blood counts and kidney function must be within certain limits to safely receive chemotherapy.
- You cannot have had radiation therapy to the pelvis before, or certain prior surgeries for this cervical cancer.
- You must not have another active cancer (except very early skin or bladder cancer) in the last 3 years.

This trial tests a new way of giving radiation therapy for cervical cancer that uses higher doses in fewer treatments. Researchers want to see if this faster approach works as well as standard radiation while reducing side effects and treatment time.
This trial tests a shorter, personalized radiation schedule for cervical cancer. It uses daily CT scans to adjust the radiation beam for better targeting. It may mean fewer hospital visits and less damage to healthy tissue.
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 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.
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation therapy (fewer, higher-dose sessions) for women in Uganda with locally advanced cervical cancer. The goal is to see if this approach works as well as or better than standard radiation while reducing treatment time.
This trial tests two different radiation schedules for women with high-risk cervical cancer after surgery. The goal is to see if a shorter course of radiation works as well as or better than the standard longer course, while possibly being more convenient.
