Precision radiation may cut side effects in cervical cancer
NCT ID NCT05880485
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests online adaptive radiotherapy, a type of radiation that adjusts in real-time to target cervical cancer more precisely. By using smaller treatment margins, doctors hope to reduce side effects while still effectively treating the tumor. The trial involves 30 adults with newly diagnosed cervical cancer and will measure both patient-reported and physician-reported side effects.
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 (a type of radiation therapy that adjusts in real-time to target the tumor more precisely)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could reduce side effects from radiation for cervical cancer patients, making treatment more tolerable.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The reduced margins might also increase the risk of missing cancer cells.

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. Age ≥18 years and ≤ 75 years. 3. Patients with newly histologically confirmed cervical cancer, including squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma and adenosquamous carcinoma, et al. 4. No evidence of para-aortic metastatic lymph nodes (MLNs) and inguinal lymph nodes on CT, MRI or positron emission tomograph (PET)/CT. 5. No contraindications to CT scanning. 6. No evidence of distant metastasis (FIGO stage IVB). 7. Adequate marrow: neutrophile granulocyte count ≥1.5\*10\^9/L, hemoglobin ≥ 80 g/L, platelet count ≥100\*10\^9/L. 8. 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. With common iliac MLNs. 2. Tumor extended to the lower third of the vagina. 3. Tumor spread to mucosa of the bladder or rectum. 4. Prior surgery (including pelvic or para-aortic lymph nodes resection, except for tumor biopsy), radiotherapy or chemotherapy to primary tumor or nodes. 5. Prior malignancy. 6. History of previous radiotherapy to the abdomen or pelvis. 7. Pregnancy or lactation. 8. Active inflammatory bowel disease, or history of severe stomach or duodenal ulcer. 9. Active infection with fever. 10. Patients with unacceptable risk that intracavitary brachytherapy can not be conducted. 11. 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.
