New adaptive radiotherapy aims to shrink treatment margins for uterine cancers
NCT ID NCT05682950
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new type of radiation therapy that adjusts the treatment plan daily based on the patient's anatomy. It included 15 women with endometrial or cervical cancer who had surgery and needed radiation. The goal was to see if smaller treatment margins could be used safely, potentially reducing side effects while still covering the target area.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- online adaptive radiotherapy
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could reduce radiation side effects for women with endometrial or cervical cancer by using daily adaptive planning to shrink treatment margins.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study with only 15 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The technique also requires more time and resources per session.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients must be informed of the investigational nature of this study and give written informed consent before treatment. 2. Postoperative endometrial and cervical cancer patients with pathologically confirmed no residual tumor at the resection margin and no evidence of distant metastasis (FIGO stage IVB). 3. Pathological findings indicate risk factors and adjuvant radiotherapy are prescribe. 4. Karnofsky score ≥ 70. 5. Subjects aged ≥ 18 years and ≤ 70 years. 6. No evidence of para-aortic metastatic lymph nodes. 7. No contraindications to CT scanning. 8. Subjects must be able to cooperate in completing the entire study. 9. Adequate marrow: neutrophile granulocyte count ≥1.5\*10\^9/L, hemoglobin ≥ 80 g/L, platelet count ≥100\*10\^9/L. 10. Normal liver and kidney function: Creatinine (Cr) \< 1.5 mg/dl, Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) \< 2\*upper limit of normal (ULN). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Subjects who have received prior pelvic radiotherapy. 2. Subjects with other primary malignancies. 3. Subjects with contraindications to radiotherapy, as determined by the investigators. 4. Any severe disease which may bring unacceptable risk or affect the compliance of the trial, for example, unstable cardiac disease requiring treatment, renal disease, chronic hepatitis, diabetes with poor control, and emotional disturbance. 5. Active infection with fever. 6. Active inflammatory bowel disease.
