Abstract
OBJECTIVE Evaluation of the management by first brachytherapy followed by radical hysterectomy (Wertheim type) compared to radical hysterectomy alone (Wertheim type) for the treatment of IB2 cervical cancer. METHODS Data from women with histologically proven FIGO stage IB2 cervical cancer treated between April 1996 and December 2016 were retrospectively abstracted from twelve French institutions with prospectively maintained databases. RESULTS Of the 211 patients with FIGO stage IB2 cervical cancer without lymph node involvement included, 136 had surgical treatment only and 75 had pelvic lymph node staging and brachytherapy followed by surgery. The surgery-only group had significantly more adjuvant treatment (29 vs. 3; p = 0.0002). A complete response was identified in 61 patients (81%) in the brachytherapy group. Postoperative complications were comparable (63,2% vs. 72%, p = 0,19) and consisted mainly of urinary (36vs. 27) and digestive (31 vs 22) complications and lymphoceles (4 vs. 1). Brachytherapy had no benefit in terms of progression-free survival (p = 0.14) or overall survival (p = 0.59). However, for tumors of between 20 and 30 mm, preoperative brachytherapy improved recurrence-free survival (p = 0.0095) but not overall survival (p = 0.41). This difference was not observed for larger tumors in terms of either recurrence-free survival (p = 0.55) or overall survival (p = 0.95). CONCLUSION Our study found that preoperative brachytherapy had no benefit for stage IB2 cervical cancers in terms of recurrence-free survival or overall survival. For tumor sizes between 2 and 3 cm, brachytherapy improves progression-free survival mainly by reducing pelvic recurrences without improving overall survival.

Outcomes of pre-operative brachytherapy followed by hysterectomy for early cervical cancer. Int J Gynecol Cancer 2019; 30:181-186. [PMID: 31871113 DOI: 10.1136/ijgc-2019-000617] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2019] [Revised: 09/24/2019] [Accepted: 09/25/2019] [Indexed: 12/09/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The standard of care for early cervical cancer is radical hysterectomy; however, consideration of pre-operative brachytherapy has been explored. We report our experience using pre-operative brachytherapy plus Wertheim-type hysterectomy to treat early stage cervical cancer. METHODS This single-center study evaluated consecutive patients with histologically proven node-negative early stage cervical cancer (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics 2009 stage IB1-IIB) that was treated using pre-operative brachytherapy and hysterectomy. Pre-brachytherapy staging was performed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and pelvic lymph node assessment was performed using lymphadenectomy. The tumor and cervical tissues were treated using brachytherapy (total dose 60 Gy) followed by Wertheim-type hysterectomy. The study included patients from January 2000 to December 2013. RESULTS A total of 80 patients completed a median follow-up of 6.7 years (range 5.4-8.5). The surgical specimens revealed a pathological complete response for 61 patients (76%). Patients with incomplete responses generally had less than 1 cm residual tumor at the cervix, and only one patient had lymphovascular space involvement. The estimated 5-year rates were 88% for overall survival (95% CI 78% to 94%) and 82% for disease-free survival (95% CI 71% to 89%). Toxicities were generally mild-to-moderate, including 26 cases (33%) of grade 2 late toxicity and 10 cases (13%) of grade 3 late toxicity. Univariate analyses revealed that poor disease-free survival was associated with overweight status (≥25 kg/m2, HR 3.05, 95% CI 1.20 to 7.76, p=0.019) and MRI tumor size >3 cm (HR 3.05, 95% CI 1.23 to 7.51, p=0.016). CONCLUSIONS Pre-operative brachytherapy followed by Wertheim-type hysterectomy may be safe and effective for early stage cervical cancer, although poorer outcomes were associated with overweight status and MRI tumor size >3 cm.
