Custom 3D-printed devices for gynecological cancer radiation treatment

This trial is testing whether custom 3D-printed applicators can be used to deliver brachytherapy — a type of targeted internal radiation therapy — for gynecological cancers. Instead of using standard off-the-shelf devices or time-consuming wax molds, this treatment uses personalized 3D-printed devices designed specifically for your body to deliver radiation precisely where it's needed. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible, effective, and safer for patients with endometrial, vaginal, vulvar, or recurrent gynecological cancers.

Current methods for creating custom applicators for internal radiation therapy are complex, slow, and sometimes don't work as planned. The new treatment offers a faster, more precise way to create patient-specific devices that match exactly what doctors plan, potentially improving both safety and treatment outcomes.
