What this Trial Is About
This prospective, multicenter, nonrandomized phase-II-trial investigates in clinical practice the differences between intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) and standard intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) or volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) in the effects on dose-volume parameters and treatment-related morbidity for women with locally advanced cervical cancer undergoing chemoradiation.
