NCT ID NCT07175584
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether protecting the anal canal during pelvic radiation can reduce hemorrhoid-related symptoms like pain, bleeding, and discomfort in cervical cancer patients. 300 women who had a hysterectomy and need radiation will be randomly assigned to standard radiation or a technique that delivers a lower dose to the anal canal. The goal is to improve quality of life without affecting cancer treatment.
