Study Summary

This trial is investigating whether using different types of imaging to plan brachytherapy for cervix cancer results in better tumor visualization, which may improve the effectiveness of the treatment.

Eligible Conditions

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Target delineation in brachytherapy using standard T2-weighted MRI versus DCE-MRI, DWI and FDG-PET/CT imaging: gross tumor volume and high-risk clinical target volume in patients with cervical cancer
Target delineation using standard MRI acquired during the last week of EBRT fused to planning CT versus full MRI-guided brachytherapy.
Secondary outcome measures
Follow-up imaging (MRI and 18FDG PET) versus the imaging done at the time of brachytherapy
Imaging techniques for visualizing the brachytherapy applicator.
