Summary

This study tests a new, easier-to-absorb form of megestrol acetate (a drug that boosts appetite) in 88 women with advanced cervical cancer who are undergoing chemoradiotherapy. The goal is to see if it helps prevent weight loss and muscle wasting, which are common and dangerous side effects of treatment. Participants will either receive the drug plus standard therapy or standard therapy alone.
