Summary

This study tested whether a precise radiation technique called image-guided intensity modulated radiotherapy (IG-IMRT) causes fewer long-term bowel problems than standard radiation in women who had surgery for cervical cancer. 300 participants were randomly assigned to one of the two radiation methods. The main goal was to see if IG-IMRT reduces severe late bowel side effects.
