Simple Tampon-Like device tested to prevent painful side effect of cancer treatment
NCT ID NCT04094454
Summary
This study is testing whether using a vaginal dilator (a tampon-like device) during pelvic radiation treatment for anal cancer can help prevent a common and painful side effect called vaginal stenosis, which is scarring and narrowing of the vagina. The researchers want to see if this simple, daily practice can cut the rate of this problem in half. They are enrolling 60 female patients who will be randomly assigned to use either a standard or an extended-size dilator during their treatment.
