May 15, 2009 updated by: University of Rochester

A Phase Ii Clinical Study Using Weekly Low-Dose Taxotere® (Docetaxel) With Concurrent Radiotherapy For Localized, Inoperable Carcinoma Of The Uterine Cervix

The purpose of this study is to find out how effectively cervix cancer is controlled when radiation is combined with low-dose chemotherapy (Taxotere) . The use of low-dose Taxotere, once per week, with radiation is a new treatment for cervical cancer. This study will also see how well this treatment regimen can be tolerated.
