Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to define an effectiveness of concurrent chemoradiotherapy of cervical cancer patients treated by VMAT (volumetric arc therapy) based external beam radiotherapy, polyradiosensitization by cisplatin and gemcitabine and interstitial brachytherapy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Now cisplatin based concurrent chemoradiotherapy for cervical cancer is a standard treatment modality. But we consider that the treatment results could be improved by several ways: 1. use of VMAT (volumetric arc therapy) based external beam radiotherapy could decrease toxicity by reducing of unnecessarily irradiated tissue volumes; 2. in addition to cisplatin gemcitabine could enhance tumor cell damaging effect of radiation; 3. interstitial brachytherapy could provide higher radiation dose boost to high risk tumor volume while sparing surrounding organs at risk.

Exclusion Criteria

Pregnancy or Breast-Feeding: Pregnant or breast-feeding women will not be entered on this study due to risks of fetal and teratogenic adverse events.(Note: Serum Pregnancy tests must be obtained in women of child bearing potential). Sexually active females may not participate unless they have agreed to use an effective contraceptive method (such as abstinence, diaphragm, condom, or intrauterine device) to prevent pregnancy for the duration of the study.
