Comparison of Clinical Response and Toxicity of Hypo-fractionated Chemoradiation With Standard Treatment in Patients With Uterine Cervix Cancer
Uterine cervix cancer can be treated definitively with concurrent chemoradiation (external beam radiotherapy and chemotherapy) followed by high dose rate brachytherapy. Treatment duration can be shortened by increasing the dose per fraction of treatment which can reduce costs and patient exposure. The aim of our study is to determine the non-inferiority of hypofractionated radiotherapy compared with conventional treatment.
