Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study aims to evaluate a shorter course of postoperative pelvic radiotherapy in patients with cervical and endometrial cancer. The standard radiotherapy schedule usually requires many treatment sessions over several weeks, which can be burdensome for patients and may affect their ability to complete treatment. This study will compare a shorter radiotherapy schedule (hypofractionated radiotherapy) with the standard schedule. Both treatments deliver a similar total radiation dose, but the shorter schedule reduces the number of hospital visits and overall treatment time. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the shorter or standard radiotherapy after surgery. The study will evaluate side effects, treatment effectiveness, and quality of life. The goal is to determine whether the shorter treatment is as safe and effective as the standard approach.
