Newer radiation technique may spare bladder and bowel in endometrial cancer patients
NCT ID NCT01164150
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial compared two ways of giving pelvic radiotherapy after surgery for endometrial cancer: standard 3D planning versus a newer technique called IMRT. The goal was to see if IMRT could reduce side effects like bladder and bowel problems. The study enrolled 92 participants but 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.
Active substance
radiation therapy (IMRT vs 3D planned)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that IMRT reduces short-term bowel and bladder side effects compared to standard 3D radiotherapy for endometrial cancer patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial that was terminated early, so results may be limited. It does not test survival or cancer control, only side effect reduction.
