Early scan hopes to predict cervical cancer outcomes

NCT ID NCT01641484

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether MRI and PET scans taken two weeks into radiotherapy can predict if cervical cancer will be controlled. Researchers measured tumor size and activity in 9 patients with stage I to IIIB cervical cancer. The goal was to find early signs of treatment failure, but the study was stopped early, so results are limited.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help doctors identify early which patients need more aggressive treatment for cervical cancer.

What could go wrong

The study was terminated early with only 9 participants, so results are very limited and may not apply broadly.
