This is an investigator-initiated, prospective, national multi-center, phase III, randomized, open-label, non-inferiority clinical study. The hypothesis is that using online adaptive radiotherapy technology for moderately fractionated radiotherapy in post-operative patients with cervical/endometrial cancer may reduce radiotherapy-related toxicity and improve quality of life while ensuring target coverage. The objective is to evaluate treatment-related toxicity and efficacy of moderately fractionated online adaptive radiotherapy compared to conventionally fractionated intensity-modulated radiotherapy in post-operative cervical and endometrial cancer patients, aiming to provide a more precise, convenient, and cost-effective treatment option for patients.
Randomization:
Intervention Group: Moderately fractionated radiotherapy using online adaptive radiotherapy technology.
Control Group: Conventionally fractionated radiotherapy using image-guided intensity-modulated radiotherapy technology.
Stratification Factors for Randomization:Participating study center; Disease type (Cervical cancer / Endometrial cancer); Receipt of concurrent chemotherapy
Study Objectives:
Primary Endpoint: Acute adverse reactions/toxicity Secondary Endpoints: Late adverse reactions/toxicity, 3-year local control rate, 3-year distant metastasis rate, 3-year progression-free survival (PFS), 3-year overall survival (OS), 3-year disease-free survival (DFS), quality of life, cost-effectiveness analysis related to treatment.
Study Population:
Planned Sample Size: 228 participants
Inclusion Criteria:
(1)Pathologically diagnosed with cervical squamous cell carcinoma or adenocarcinoma.
(2)Must have at least one of the following high-risk factors; or have other risk factors requiring postoperative radiotherapy: High-risk factors: Pelvic lymph node metastasis, or positive surgical margin, or parametrial invasion.
Other risk factors: Middle or deep one-third stromal invasion, regardless of tumor size and LVSI status; Tumor size ≥4cm, regardless of depth of stromal invasion and LVSI status; Adenocarcinoma: Tumor size ≥2cm, or positive LVSI, regardless of depth of stromal invasion.
6.For participants with endometrial cancer, the following criteria must be met: Endometrioid adenocarcinoma: Grade 3 with superficial myometrial invasion, accompanied by substantial LVSI or age ≥70 years; Grade 2 with deep myometrial invasion, accompanied by substantial LVSI or age ≥60 years; Grade 3 with deep myometrial invasion; FIGO 2009 Stage II-IIIC1.
Non-endometrioid adenocarcinoma: FIGO 2009 Stage I-IIIC1 (serous carcinoma, clear cell carcinoma, mixed type).
7.Participants with high-risk factors may receive a vaginal brachytherapy boost following the completion of external beam radiotherapy.
8.Participants with high-risk cervical cancer must receive concurrent sensitizing chemotherapy for ≥4 cycles.
9.Participants must be eligible to receive sequential or sandwich adjuvant chemotherapy as planned.
Study Duration: September 2025 to September 2030 Participant Involvement Period: Follow-up for over 3 years after radiotherapy

| Moderately fractionated radiotherapy using online adaptive radiotherapy technology | Radiation | Treatment will be delivered using an online adaptive radiotherapy device. A moderately fractionated regimen will be employed, with a prescribed dose of 40.05 Gy in 15 fractions, administered once daily, five times per week. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence of Acute Toxicity | Toxicities occurring within 90 days (inclusive) from the start of radiotherapy are defined as acute toxicities. Acute toxicities will be evaluated using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. | Within 90 days (inclusive) from the start of radiotherapy |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence of Late Toxicity | Toxicities occurring more than 90 days after the start of radiotherapy are defined as late toxicities. Late toxicities will be evaluated using the RTOG/EORTC Late Radiation Morbidity Scoring Scheme. | From 90 days after the start of radiotherapy until death from any cause, assessed up to 3 years. |
