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 radiation combined with chemotherapy for locally advanced cervical cancer. It aims to see if fewer radiation sessions can be just as effective while reducing side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cervical cancer that is locally advanced (stage IA1 to IVA) and hasn't spread above the lower back.
- Your cancer type is squamous cell, adenocarcinoma, or adeno-squamous (common types).
- You can have an MRI scan and are able to undergo brachytherapy (internal radiation).
- Your kidney function (GFR) is at least 50 mL/min.
- You haven't had prior pelvic radiation, a hysterectomy, or chemotherapy for this cancer.

This trial tests a shorter, focused radiation treatment to the pelvis after surgery for cervical or uterine cancer. It aims to reduce the chance of cancer coming back in patients whose doctors recommend additional radiation therapy after their surgery.
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.
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation combined with chemotherapy (hypofractionated radiochemotherapy) for women with advanced cervical cancer. It may help reduce treatment time while still effectively targeting the tumor.
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 trial tests a shorter course of radiation therapy (fewer sessions) after hysterectomy for cervical cancer. It aims to see if it's safe and effective for patients who meet certain criteria based on their tumor type and recovery.
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.
