Radiation Therapy + Cisplatin for Endometrial Cancer
Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
This randomized phase II trial studies radiation therapy and cisplatin to see how well they work compared with radiation therapy alone in treating patients with endometrial cancer that has come back. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays and other types of radiation to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known whether giving radiation therapy together with cisplatin is more effective than radiation therapy alone in treating patients with endometrial cancer.

This trial is for patients with recurrent endometrial cancer who've had a hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. They should be in good physical condition (GOG status 0-2), have no extrapelvic disease, and could have had prior hormone or chemotherapy finished at least 6 months ago. Excluded are those with other recent cancers, severe heart conditions, previous pelvic radiation, or significant infections.Inclusion Criteria

Timeline
Screening
Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial
Treatment
Participants undergo external-beam radiotherapy (EBRT) to the pelvis daily for 5 weeks. In Arm II, participants also receive cisplatin intravenously on specified days.
Brachytherapy
Participants undergo intracavitary or interstitial brachytherapy following EBRT. IMRT boost is allowed for certain patients.
Follow-up
Participants are monitored for safety and effectiveness after treatment completion. Follow-up occurs every month for 3 months, then every 3 months for 2 years, and every 6 months for 3 years.
