Summary

This study follows 67 women with cervical cancer for one year after they finish radiation therapy. Researchers want to see how their quality of life, including physical and emotional well-being, changes over time. Participants fill out questionnaires about symptoms like fatigue, pain, and vaginal health at several points. The goal is to find out which factors, such as time since treatment or disease stage, best predict a woman's overall recovery.

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 study could identify key factors that predict better quality of life recovery after radiation therapy for cervical cancer, helping doctors tailor follow-up care.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all patients or settings.

Who is studied

The study population consists of 67 women. All participants were diagnosed with cervical cancer and had completed definitive radiation therapy, specifically a combination of External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) and Intracavitary Radiation Therapy (ICRT/Brachytherapy). This cohort was followed longitudinally for 12 months post-treatment.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * A confirmed diagnosis of cervical cancer, including various histological types such as Squamous cell carcinoma (85.07%), Adenocarcinoma (13.43%), or Small cell carcinoma. * Completion of definitive radiation therapy, specifically the combination of External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) and Intracavitary Radiation Therapy (ICRT/Brachytherapy). * Participants identified as female. * Patients were included across clinical stages I through IV, with Stage IIIC1 being the most common (28.79%). * Willingness to participate in a 12-month longitudinal study involving assessments at six distinct time points: baseline (pre-treatment) and 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post-radiotherapy. Exclusion Criteria: * Presence of lesions that make it impossible to use the vaginal dilator device. * Chronic or severe bleeding that prevents the safe or effective use of the vaginal dilator. * Emergency medical conditions or a clinical necessity for alternative treatments following the initial radiation therapy. * Inability to attend follow-up visits or comply with the monitoring guidelines established in the study protocol. Additionally, the sources define discontinuation criteria for participants who have already entered the study: * The participant requests to withdraw from the project for any reason. * The participant receives incomplete treatment due to the progression or specific nature of the disease.
