Brief Summary

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

The study aims to obtain a local control rate in patients with lateral pelvic relapses of gynecologycal cancers previously irradiated. High LET (Linear Energy Transfer) particles as carbon ions can guarantee a biologic advantage compared to photons in radioresistant neoplasms, given to their higher biological efficacy (RBE).

Detailed Description

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

Primary aim: estimate the effect, in terms of clinical response, of carbon ion treatment (CIRT) in patients with lateral pelvic recurrences of gynecological malignancies.

Secondary aims:

1. To describe the safety profile of carbon ion therapy.
2. To estimate the effect, in terms of survival, of carbon ion treatment

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

carbon ion radiotherapy

All enrolled subjects will undergo carbon ion radiation therapy. Patients affected by pelvic recurrence of gynecological neoplasia, already undergone to radiotherapy on pelvis, will be enrolled in the study.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

carbon ion radiation therapy

Intervention Type RADIATION

CIRT: Planning Target Volume (PTV) will be delivered a total dose of 48-52.8 GyRBE in 12 fractions, 4 fractions per week. Treatment duration 3 weeks.

Treatment lasting more than 5 weeks or cases of treatment with less than 6 fractions in 14 consecutive days will not be accepted.
