Detailed Description
standard treatment for pelvic lesions (300 cGy in 10 daily fractions of 300 cGy each) is compared with experimental treatment (2000 cGy in 4 fractions of 500 cGy twice a day) to demonstrate non-inferiority of this scheme

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
efficacy of palliation using the short course scheme compared with the standard scheme: Likert scale
Time Frame: 3 months
|
reduction of initial symptoms after radiotherapy, assessed with Likert scale (pain, bleeding, diarrhoea, bowel obstruction, polyuria, urinary obstruction, dysuria, lymphedema, vaginal discharge are evaluated as none-mild-moderate-severe)
|
3 months
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |

incidence of treatment-related acute adverse events in the two arms of the study registered using Cooperative Group Common Toxicity Criteria (RTOG)
|
3 months
|
late toxicity in the two treatment groups
Time Frame: 12 months
