Feasibility Study of Safety, Toxicity, and Compliance of Concomitant Chemoradiotherapy for HIV-Associated Locally-Advanced Cervical Cancer
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating cisplatin and external beam radiation therapy for Cervical Cancer and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. Completed, enrolled 41 participants across 2 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x rays to kill tumor cells. Giving cisplatin together with radiation therapy may be an effective treatment for cervical cancer. PURPOSE: This trial studies how well cisplatin and radiation therapy work in treating participants with HIV-associated locally advanced cervical cancer.
