Measure
Paclitaxel (Taxol) + Pelvic Radiation
Paclitaxel (Taxol) 50 mg/m\^2 intravenous (IV) weekly over 1 hour for 5 weeks. Radiation therapy to the pelvis daily for 25 treatments. Both radiation therapy and paclitaxel chemotherapy on Day 1 or 2, followed by radiation alone for four days, repeated every week for a total of 5 weeks, giving a total dose of 45 Gy with external beam radiation to pelvis and 5 courses of paclitaxel 50 mg/m\^2. Four-six weeks after pelvic radiation completed, 4 additional courses of paclitaxel 135 mg/m\^2 alone given every 21 days. Vaginal apex boost given either with last 3 external beam treatments or after external beam radiation completed for additional 3 days. No chemotherapy given with vaginal apex boost. Dexamethasone 20 mg, Diphenhydramine 50 mg and Cimetidine 300 mg IV 30 minutes prior to chemotherapy.
