Abstract
We conducted a prospective study to assess the non-inferiority of adjuvant chemotherapy alone versus adjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) as an alternative strategy for patients with early-stage (FIGO 2009 stage IB-IIA) cervical cancer having risk factors after surgery. The condition was assessed in terms of prognosis, adverse effects, and quality of life. This randomized trial involved nine centers across China. Eligible patients were randomized to receive adjuvant chemotherapy or CCRT after surgery. The primary end-point was progression-free survival (PFS). From December 2012 to December 2014, 337 patients were subjected to randomization. Final analysis included 329 patients, including 165 in the adjuvant chemotherapy group and 164 in the adjuvant CCRT group. The median follow-up was 72.1 months. The three-year PFS rates were both 91.9%, and the five-year OS was 90.6% versus 90.0% in adjuvant chemotherapy and CCRT groups, respectively. No significant differences were observed in the PFS or OS between groups. The adjusted HR for PFS was 0.854 (95% confidence interval 0.415-1.757; P = 0.667) favoring adjuvant chemotherapy, excluding the predefined non-inferiority boundary of 1.9. The chemotherapy group showed a tendency toward good quality of life. In comparison with post-operative adjuvant CCRT, adjuvant chemotherapy treatment showed non-inferior efficacy in patients with early-stage cervical cancer having pathological risk factors. Adjuvant chemotherapy alone is a favorable alternative post-operative treatment.

Intensity-modulated radiation therapy versus three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy with concurrent nedaplatin-based chemotherapy after radical hysterectomy for uterine cervical cancer: comparison of outcomes, complications, and dose-volume histogram parameters. Radiat Oncol 2015; 10:180. [PMID: 26300325 PMCID: PMC4554318 DOI: 10.1186/s13014-015-0486-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2015] [Accepted: 08/13/2015] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to report our clinical outcomes using intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for adjuvant treatment of cervical cancer, compared with three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT), in terms of tumor control, complications and dose-volume histogram (DVH) parameters. METHODS Between March 2008 and February 2014, 62 patients were treated with concurrent nedaplatin-based chemotherapy and whole-pelvic external beam radiation therapy (RT). Of these patients, 32 (52%) received 3DCRT and 30 (48%) received IMRT. RESULTS The median follow-up periods were 40 months (range 2-74 months). The 3-year overall survival rate (OS), locoregional control rate (LRC) and progression-free survival rate (PFS) were 92, 95 and 92% in the IMRT group, and 85, 82 and 70% in the 3DCRT group, respectively. A comparison of OS, LRC and PFS showed no significant differences between IMRT and 3DCRT. The 3-year cumulative incidences of grade 2 or higher chronic gastrointestinal (GI) complications were significantly lower with IMRT compared to 3DCRT (3% vs. 45%, p < .02) and in patients with V40 of the small bowel loops of ≤340 mL compared to those with >340 mL (3% vs. 45%, p < .001). Patients treated with IMRT had a higher incidence of grade 3 acute hematologic complications (p < .05). V40 and V45 of the small bowel loops or bowel bag were predictive for development of both acute and chronic GI complications. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that IMRT for adjuvant treatment of cervical cancer is useful for decreasing GI complications without worsening outcomes.

Postoperative whole pelvic radiotherapy plus concurrent chemotherapy versus extended-field irradiation for early-stage cervical cancer patients with multiple pelvic lymph node metastases.

[PMID: 20956013 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygyno.2010.09.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2010] [Revised: 09/23/2010] [Accepted: 09/25/2010] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of postoperative pelvic radiotherapy plus concurrent chemotherapy with that of extended-field irradiation (EFRT) in patients with FIGO Stage IA2-IIb cervical cancer with multiple pelvic lymph node metastases. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with FIGO Stage IA2-IIb cervical cancer who had undergone radical surgery between April 1997 and March 2008. Of these, 55 patients who demonstrated multiple pelvic lymph node metastases were treated postoperatively with pelvic radiotherapy plus concurrent chemotherapy (n=29) or EFRT (n=26). Thirty-six patients with single pelvic node metastasis were also treated postoperatively with pelvic radiotherapy plus concurrent chemotherapy. The recurrence rate, progression free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were compared between the treatment groups. RESULTS Pelvic radiotherapy plus concurrent chemotherapy was significantly superior to EFRT with regard to recurrence rate (37.9% vs 69.2%, p=0.0306), PFS (log-rank, p=0.0236), and OS (log-rank, p=0.0279). When the patients were treated with pelvic radiotherapy plus concurrent chemotherapy, there was no significant difference in PFS or OS between the patients with multiple lymph node metastases and those with single node metastases. With regards to grade 3-4 acute or late toxicities, no statistically significant difference was observed between the two treatment groups. CONCLUSIONS Postoperative pelvic radiotherapy plus concurrent chemotherapy is superior to EFRT for treating patients with FIGO Stage IA2-IIb cervical cancer displaying multiple pelvic lymph node metastases.
