Could CT scans replace MRI for cervical cancer radiation? major study launches
NCT ID NCT07249021
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether using CT scans instead of MRI for planning brachytherapy (internal radiation) can work just as well for locally advanced cervical cancer. About 1,200 participants will receive standard treatment, and researchers will track tumor control and side effects. The goal is to make high-quality brachytherapy more available in places where MRI is not easily accessible.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The study will include approximately 1200 women with histologically confirmed, locally advanced cervical cancer (FIGO stages IB3-IVA) who are planned for curative chemoradiation followed by brachytherapy at the primary treating center. Participants will be recruited from multiple national and international centres equipped with CT-based brachytherapy facilities. All will undergo standardized treatment and follow-up as per study protocol, with imaging and outcome data submitted to a centralized database for quality assurance and analysis.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Cancer of the uterine cervix considered suitable for curative treatment with definitive chemo radiotherapy including brachytherapy. 2. Biopsy showing invasive squamous-cell carcinoma or adenocarcinoma or adeno - squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix. 3. FIGO (2018) stage IB2 to IVA 4. Willingness to participate by signing informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: * Other previous or current primary malignancies except carcinoma in situ of the cervix. * Metastatic Inguinal Nodes not amenable to radical radiation therapy * Metastatic disease in para-aortic region beyond renal vessels * Not eligible for concurrent cisplatin chemotherapy (creatinine clearance \< 50mg/ml/min) * Previous pelvic or abdominal radiotherapy. * Previous total or partial hysterectomy. * Patients receiving BT alone. * Patients receiving EBRT alone. * Patients receiving any form of neoadjuvant anti-neoplastic therapy prior to definitive treatment or adjuvant therapy * Active infection or severe medical condition which precludes radical chemoradiotherapy. * Pregnant or lactating or childbearing potential without adequate contraception.
