NCT03146039

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out whether patients with cervical cancer treated with about a new radiation technique called "stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) have less stress and anxiety compared to standard brachytherapy radiation. With standard brachytherapy radiation, metal hardware is placed through the vagina and into the uterus, which can cause pain and discomfort. SBRT is a new radiation technique that is non-invasive and does not require the insertion of any metal hardware.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of Treatment-Related Symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress

    To quantify treatment-related symptoms of post traumatic stress to determine if stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) leads to an improvement in treatment-related symptoms of post traumatic stress compared to brachytherapy (historical control) according to the Impact of Event Scale-Revision (IES-R).

Study Arms (1)

Radiation Therapy

OTHER

The patient will receive Whole Pelvis Radiation Therapy 40 - 50.4 Gy in 1.8 - 2.0 Gy daily fractions over 4.5 - 5.5 weeks followed by Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy 5.5 - 8.0 Gy per fraction x 5 fractions using arc therapy.

Radiation: Radiation Therapy

Interventions

Whole pelvis radiation therapy will be delivered according to institutional standard of care. SBRT is delivered with 5 fractions of 5.5-8 Gy prescribed to the high-risk CTV, with dose constraints identical to those for high dose rate, volume-directed brachytherapy. The patient will undergo arc therapy with a minimum of two arcs. On-line kV CBCT will be used to verify the isocenter prior to each arc delivery. Patients will be resimulated for SBRT boost planning.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexfemale(Gender-based eligibility)
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Biopsy-proven, invasive carcinoma of the cervix.
  • Candidate for pelvic, pelvic-inguinal, or extended field radiotherapy with or without concurrent chemotherapy. Patients undergoing preoperative or adjuvant chemotherapy are excluded.
  • History/physical examination within 60 days prior to registration to document cervical tumor size and stage
  • CT, MRI, or PET/CT imaging of the chest, abdomen, and pelvic regions within 60 days prior to registration (for stage I patients, PA and lateral chest x-ray is sufficient for chest imaging)
  • Age ≥ 18
  • Negative serum pregnancy test for women of child-bearing potential
  • Women of childbearing potential must agree to practice effective birth control throughout their participation in the treatment phase of the study.
  • Patients must sign informed consent prior to study entry.

You may not qualify if:

  • Prior radiotherapy to the pelvis or abdomen that would result in overlap of radiation therapy fields.
  • Prior hysterectomy.
  • Women who are pregnant or lactating are ineligible due to teratogenic effects on developing fetuses. Women who are of child-bearing potential need to practice effective methods of contraception including oral contraceptives, intrauterine device, diaphragm with spermicides, and/or abstinence.
  • Patients undergoing preoperative or adjuvant chemotherapy
  • History of pre-existing PTSD.
  • History of major psychiatric disorder.
