Long-term follow-up of potentiation of radiotherapy by cis-platinum in advanced cervical cancer.

Between January 1982 and January 1983 all patients with advanced cervical cancer were randomized into three groups: radiotherapy only (group I), radiotherapy plus weekly cis-platinum (group II), and radiation plus twice-weekly cis-platinum (group III). Better initial central control was observed in group III patients. Long-term survival was similar in the three groups. Potentiation of radiotherapy with cis-platinum failed to show any significant improvement in long-term survival.
