Comparing two radiation therapy types after cancer surgery

This trial is testing whether proton therapy causes fewer side effects than a standard radiation therapy called intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in patients who have had surgery for cervical or endometrial cancer. Both treatments use radiation to destroy any remaining cancer cells, but proton therapy may damage nearby healthy tissues less. Researchers will measure side effects, quality of life, and long-term survival in people receiving either treatment.

Radiation therapy after cancer surgery can damage healthy tissues in the pelvis, causing side effects like bowel and bladder problems. This trial aims to find out whether proton therapy, a newer type of radiation, causes fewer of these side effects while still effectively treating cancer.
