Study Description

Brief Summary: Adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) plays an important role in reducing the risks of local recurrence after surgery in uterine cancers. Standard adjuvant pelvic radiation treatment targets the pelvic lymph nodes, the post-operative bed, and the upper vagina and is typically treated with intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) which has been shown to improve patient reported gastrointestinal (GI) and genitourinary (GU) toxicities. Although pelvic radiation has been shown to be effective at decreasing locoregional recurrences, patient quality of life and experience can be significantly impacted as pelvic RT comprises of daily radiation for 25 daily treatments, which can be a substantial burden on patients with this disease. Hypofractionated radiotherapy to a dose of 30 Gy in 5 fractions (6 Gy given every other day) for adjuvant radiation treatment in uterine cancer is hypothesized to result in similar rates of acute gastrointestinal toxicities as conventional fractionated radiation.
