Can five radiation doses replace weeks of treatment for endometrial cancer?
NCT ID NCT07779109
First seen Aug 21, 2026 · Last updated Aug 26, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This trial is testing whether a shorter, more intense course of radiation therapy can be a safe and effective option for people with high-risk endometrial cancer after surgery. Instead of the usual weeks of daily radiation, the study uses just five sessions of a higher dose, guided by advanced imaging. The main goal is to see how well patients tolerate this approach, focusing on short-term side effects in the bladder and digestive system.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Ultra-hypofractionated radiation therapy (27.5 Gy in 5 fractions) delivered via image-guided IMRT/VMAT
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a more convenient and potentially less toxic radiation option for endometrial cancer patients after surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a phase II safety study with a small number of participants, so results may not be definitive. The higher dose per fraction could increase side effects, and long-term outcomes are not yet known.
