Comparison of Acute Toxicities Between Patients Treated With Protons or Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy After Surgery for the Treatment of Endometrial or Cervical Cancer
Overview
Tab Title Description
Study type
InterventionalDescribes the nature of a clinical study. Types include:
- Observational study — observes people and measures outcomes without affecting results.
- Interventional study (clinical trial) — studies new tests, treatments, drugs, surgical procedures or devices.
- Medical records research — uses historical information collected from medical records of large groups of people to study how diseases progress and which treatments and surgeries work best.

About this study
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether proton radiation therapy (proton RT) reduces acute gastrointestinal toxicities at the end of treatment compared to intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).
Participation eligibility
Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Histologically confirmed diagnosis of cervical or endometrial cancer
- Must have undergone an open or robotic hysterectomy (total abdominal, vaginal,
radical, or total laparoscopic) for carcinoma of the cervix or endometrium
- History and physical prior to registration
- Documentation of history of:
- Smoking status
- Pelvic infection
- Pelvic inflammatory disease
- Endometriosis
- Planned to receive either proton or IMRT radiation treatment, with use of rectal
balloon, at an Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved Mayo Clinic site
- Plan for RT to pelvis with or without para-aortic lymph node irradiation
- If received high-dose chemotherapy prior to registration, last dose must have been
given >= 21 days prior to start of RT
- Complete blood count (CBC) performed within 21 days prior to registration
- Computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission
tomography (PET)/CT, or PET/MRI for staging before registration; may be pre-operative
(op) or post-op
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score 0-2
- Provide written informed consent
- Willing to complete quality of life (QOL) questionnaires
Exclusion Criteria:
- Receiving external beam boost dose during RT
- Distant metastases
- Gross disease at time of RT
- Histology of endometrial stromal sarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, melanoma or small cell
carcinomas
- Patients who exceed the weight/size limits of the treatment table
- Patients with active and/or inflammatory irritable bowel disease
- Positive or close surgical margins (=< 3 mm)
- Prior RT to the pelvis
- Planned to receive inguinal node RT
- Hepatic insufficiency resulting in clinical jaundice and/or coagulation defects
- Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) based upon current Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) definition; note that human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
testing is not required for entry into this protocol. The need to exclude patients
with AIDS from this protocol is necessary because the treatments involved in this
protocol may be immunosuppressive
- Prior invasive malignancy (except non-melanomatous skin cancer) unless disease free
for a minimum of 3 years
- Severe, active co-morbidity defined as follows:
- Unstable angina and/or congestive heart failure requiring hospitalization within
the last 6 months
- Transmural myocardial infarction within the last 6 months
- Acute bacterial or fungal infection requiring intravenous antibiotics at the time
of registration
- Other major medical illness which requires hospitalization or precludes study therapy
at the time of registration
- Patients unwilling to have rectal balloon placed on a daily basis during RT
Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
