• Postoperative Radiation indicated for Cervix and Endometrial Cancers. • Increase in GI symptom burden and toxicity in long term survivors after adjuvant radiation • Phase II Studies • RTOG 0418/ RTCMIENDOMETRE demonstrated 27-28% acute GI toxicity with IMRT • No comparator arm • Phase III Trial • NRG 1203: Improvement in patient reported outcomes at wk 5 and year 1 with IMRT as compared to 3DCRT. • No difference at 3 years with IMRT. • Lack of Clarity on Long Term Impact of Postoperative IMRT Hypothesis
IG-IMRT will improve late GI toxicity free survival in patients undergoing adjuvant RT for cervix cancer.
Conducted across 3 clinical sites of Tata Memorial Centre

• IG -IMRT is superior to 3DCRT in reducing Late GI toxicity in women undergoing postoperative pelvic RT.
• Greater Benefit of IG-IMRT in those receiving radio-sensitizing concurrent chemotherapy.
• No difference in tumour control rates in the pelvis with use of IG-IMRT
• IG-IMRT should represent the new standard of care for postoperative pelvic RT in women with gynecological cancers.
