NCT ID NCT05758688
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 18, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is testing a precise type of radiation (proton beam) given to the pelvis after surgery for cervical, uterine, or endometrial cancer. The goal is to see if it causes fewer bowel side effects than standard radiation. About 25 adults who need pelvic radiation after surgery will receive this treatment and be monitored for side effects.
