Pilot Study of Adjuvant Proton Beam Teletherapy for Post-Hysterectomy Cancers of the Uterus and Cervix With Metastases to Regional Lymph Nodes
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Proton radiation therapy for Uterine Cancer and Cervical Cancer. Completed, enrolled 22 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Proton beam radiation therapy is known to spare surrounding normal tissues from radiation. Proton beam radiation delivers less radiation beyond the area of the target tissues. This may reduce side effects that patients would normally experience with standard (photon) radiation therapy which tends to unavoidably include more normal tissue along with tumor target tissue. In this research study, the investigators are looking to determine if proton beam radiation is effective in controlling your cancer growth. The investigators are also looking to see if proton beam radiation can reduce side effects when compared to standard radiation treatment (photon radiation).
