Objective: To evaluate the results of treatment with cisplatin or carboplatin concomitant with radiotherapy (RT) in cases of locally advanced cervical cancer (CC).
Methods: This study is a retrospective analysis of medical records of 184 patients with cervical cancer stage IIB-IVA who were treated at Instituto do Câncer do Estado de São Paulo from May 2008 to December 2012. All patients received complete pelvic region external-beam RT with weekly cisplatin (cis-RT, 40mg/m(2); n=159) or carboplatin (carbo-RT, AUC 2; n=25), followed by high-dose-rate intracavitary brachytherapy (HDR-ICBT).
