Summary

This trial looks at a shorter radiation treatment with chemo to see if it's practical and can be completed by most patients.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with newly diagnosed endometrial carcinoma who've had specific surgeries and have no residual disease. They must not be breastfeeding, have good organ function, and a performance status indicating they can care for themselves. Excluded are those with certain genetic markers or prior treatments, active infections needing antibiotics (except simple UTIs), or conditions that could affect the trial's safety or results.
What is being tested?
The study tests if a shorter radiation therapy course (1 week) combined with chemotherapy drugs carboplatin and paclitaxel is feasible for patients to complete compared to the usual 5-week radiation schedule. It aims to see if participants can stick to this condensed treatment plan without significant issues.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions from radiation like skin irritation and fatigue, as well as chemotherapy-related nausea, hair loss, nerve damage (neuropathy), blood cell count changes increasing infection risk, liver impact shown by altered lab tests, and possible allergic reactions.
