Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study Clinical TrialConcurrent mitomycin C, 5-fluorouracil, and radiotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced carcinoma of the cervix: a randomized trial.
This is a prospective, Phase III multicenter randomized trial to assess the effectiveness of concurrent intravenous mitomycin C, oral 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), and radiotherapy (RT) in locally advanced carcinoma of the cervix. ⋯ Concurrent chemotherapy, mitomycin C, and 5-FU together with conventional RT showed an improved DFS rate when compared with conventional RT alone in patients with locally advanced carcinoma of the cervix.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Clinical TrialThe effect of supplemental beam radiation on prostate brachytherapy-related morbidity: morbidity outcomes from two prospective randomized multicenter trials.
To detail the effect of supplemental beam radiation on prostate brachytherapy-related morbidity. ⋯ The addition of supplemental beam radiation had little effect on morbidity. We do not believe that morbidity per se should influence the decision of whether or not to use supplemental beam radiation.
