Pelvic Fractures and Radiation Therapy for Cervical Cancer

NCT00800644 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 239

Last updated 2020-01-13

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this study is to estimate how often pelvic fractures occur in women treated with radiation therapy for either newly diagnosed or recurrent cervical, endometrial, or vaginal cancer. The study will also estimate the changes in bone mineral density and the changes in the blood that relate to "bone turnover". High bone turnover can weaken bones and make you more likely to break a bone.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

CT or MRI + Blood Test

During routine visits, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan or a computed tomography (CT) scan. Blood (about 1 tablespoon) will be drawn to test for bone turnover.
