RT-PACE: Phase I/II Study of Adjuvant Whole Pelvic Hypofractionated Radiotherapy for Non-Metastatic Cervical and Endometrial Cancer
This study will investigate if a shorter treatment course (known as hypofractionation) for pelvic radiation is safe for women with endometrial cancer. Doctors leading the study will also determine the safest and most tolerable dose of shortened radiation (hypofractionation) used to treat women in this study. Because this study will shorten the radiation course typically used to treat endometrial cancer, each daily treatment given to women in this study will be slightly higher than normal to ensure that the total radiation dose they receive is still effective and similar to the radiation dose they would receive if they were not participating in this study (standard treatment).
• Diagnosis of primary cervical cancer or uterine cancer of any histology
• Age ≥ 18 years.
• Non-metastatic disease according to the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO).
• Must have been treated with definitive intent, including standard-of-care hysterectomy, without any gross residual disease post-operatively. Nodal dissection is not required, but if it is not performed, then diagnostic imaging to confirm absence of gross pelvic or para-aortic disease should be obtained pre- or post-operatively.
• Recommended to undergo whole pelvic radiotherapy without concurrent chemotherapy or para-aortic radiation. Chemotherapy before or after radiotherapy is acceptable.
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) PS≤ 2
• Able to provide informed consent and willingness to sign an approved consent form
