Hypofractionated Radiochemotherapy

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the use of hypofractionated radiation (delivery of fewer but larger doses of radiation) with concurrent chemotherapy for women with metastatic of bulky uterine cervix cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What is the MRI-assessed rate of response at 1-month and 3-months post-treatment? * What is the safety and tolerability of cisplatin-based hypofractionated pelvic Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) followed by brachytherapy? * What is the median progression-free survival and overall survival at 1 and 2 years for patients who undergo cisplatin-based hypofractionated pelvic IMRT? * What is the proportion of patients who complete the treatment in prescribed timeframe? * What the levels of cervix cancer circulating tumor cells pretherapy and after treatment? To confirm eligibility, within four weeks prior to study enrollment, all patients will undergo the following: * Complete history and physical exam, GOG performance status evaluation * Standard of care scans, which include staging CTs and/or PET scans, and MRI to verify eligibility and appropriate stage of disease. Blood tests will be done to check various organ functions. Treatment will be administered on an outpatient basis. The main difference between the proposed regimen in the trial and standard of care is as follows: 1. The trial has a shortened course of EBRT. Standard of care utilizes 25 treatments, also known as "fractions" of EBRT, while…
