Summary

This study tested a shorter course of pelvic radiation (about 1 week instead of the usual 5-6 weeks) given after hysterectomy for advanced endometrial cancer. The goal was to see if this shorter treatment causes fewer side effects while still controlling the cancer. The study included 25 women with stage III-IVA endometrial cancer or certain high-risk types. Researchers measured side effects and quality of life to see if the shorter radiation is safe and effective.
