Internal Radiation Therapy with or without MRI Guidance in Treating Patients with Gynecologic Cancer

Trial Status: temporarily closed to accrual

This randomized clinical trial studies how well internal radiation therapy with or without magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) works in treating patients with gynecologic cancer. Brachytherapy, also known as internal radiation therapy, uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells. Computer systems that allow doctors to create a 3-dimensional (3-D) picture of the tumor may help in planning radiation therapy and may result in more tumor cells being killed. Using a magnetic resonance (MR)-tracking device may improve the placement of the brachytherapy catheters.
