The aim of this study was to determine the response rate, toxicity, operability, and surgical complication rate of neoadjuvant concomitant radiochemotherapy (cRCH) (ifosfamide + carboplatin) followed by radical hysterectomy plus external-beam radiotherapy with curative intention in locally advanced primary inoperable stages IIB and IIIB squamous cell cervical cancer.
Patients with cervical cancer from 8 departments were enrolled. Patients received 3 cycles of ifosfamide 1.2 mg/m (+mesna 20%) plus carboplatin (area under the curve = 4), every 21 days, and concomitant external-beam radiotherapy (50.4 Gy [1.8 Gy/d]). Operability and remission were evaluated by clinical gynecological examination in general anesthesia (magnetic resonance imaging was optional), 4 weeks after the third cycle of cRCH. In case of achieved operability, a radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy was performed within 6 weeks after cRCH. If surgery was not performed because of incomplete remission or patient preferences, vaginal brachytherapy (15 Gy [5 Gy/d]) was given additionally.
Forty-four patients were enrolled. Distribution of FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) tumor stage was as follows: IIB (19 patients) and IIIB (25 patients). All patients completed cRCH. Grade 3/4 hematologic toxicities (% of all cycles) were moderate: leukopenia, 7.3; thrombocytopenia, 2.4; and anemia, 3.2. In 13.8%, treatment cycles were delayed because of hematologic toxicity. Blood transfusions were given in 17.7% and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor in 39.5%. Overall, grade 3/4 nonhematologic toxicities were seldom (6.5%). Clinical overall response rate was 95.2%. Operability was achieved in 85.7%. Surgery was performed in 83.3%. Pathological response rates were as follows: pathological complete remission, 33.3%; partial remission, 63.3%; stable disease, 3.3%.
Our study demonstrates that cRCH is an effective and tolerable regimen in locally advanced cervical cancer treatment.
本研究旨在确定新辅助同步放化疗(cRCH)(异环磷酰胺+卡铂)联合根治性子宫切除术及体外照射放疗,对局部晚期、初始无法手术的IIB期和IIIB期宫颈鳞状细胞癌进行根治性治疗的缓解率、毒性、可手术性及手术并发症发生率。
纳入来自8个科室的宫颈癌患者。患者每21天接受3个周期的异环磷酰胺1.2mg/m²(+美司钠20%)加卡铂(曲线下面积=4),并同步进行体外照射放疗(50.4Gy[1.8Gy/天])。在cRCH的第三个周期后4周,通过全身麻醉下的临床妇科检查(磁共振成像为可选检查)评估可手术性和缓解情况。若达到可手术性,则在cRCH后6周内进行根治性子宫切除术及盆腔淋巴结清扫术。若因缓解不完全或患者意愿未进行手术,则额外给予阴道近距离放疗(15Gy[5Gy/天])。
共纳入44例患者。国际妇产科联盟(FIGO)肿瘤分期分布如下:IIB期(19例)和IIIB期(25例)。所有患者均完成cRCH。3/4级血液学毒性(占所有周期的百分比)为中度:白细胞减少,7.3%;血小板减少,2.4%;贫血,3.2%。13.8%的治疗周期因血液学毒性而延迟。17.7%的患者接受了输血,39.5%的患者接受了粒细胞集落刺激因子治疗。总体而言,3/4级非血液学毒性很少见(6.5%)。临床总缓解率为95.2%。可手术性达到85.7%。83.3%的患者进行了手术。病理缓解率如下:病理完全缓解,33.3%;部分缓解,63.3%;疾病稳定,3.3%。
我们的研究表明,cRCH是局部晚期宫颈癌治疗中一种有效且耐受性良好的治疗方案。
