Purpose: To compare sexual/vaginal functioning between early cervical cancer (ECC) and locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) survivors.
Methods: VAMOS was a multicenter, cross-sectional, questionnaire, noninferiority study including ECC patients treated with surgery and, if clinically indicated, adjuvant (chemo)radiotherapy and LACC patients treated with neoadjuvant (chemo)radiotherapy followed by surgery. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) were assessed using the EORTC QLQ-C30, EORTC QLQ-CX24, and Female Sexual Functioning Index (FSFI) questionnaires. Clinical reported outcomes (ClinROs) consisted of vaginal morbidity scored according to the CTCAE v4.0 scoring system.
Results: One hundred forty-three patients were included. Compared to ECC patients (n = 97), LACC patients (n = 46) were significantly less sexually active in the 4 weeks prior to completion of the questionnaires (65% vs. 41%; p = .005). The primary endpoint was not met: LACC patients reported a higher mean score (more problems) for sexual/vaginal functioning than ECC patients, with a non-clinically relevant mean difference of 6.38 ([95% CI: - 6.41, 19.17]; p = .570 for noninferiority). Regarding the secondary endpoints, the prevalence of sexual dysfunction between the two groups did not differ significantly (p = 0.124). Compared to ECC patients, LACC patients did not have significantly more vaginal morbidity (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.51 [95% CI: 0.22, 10.29]; p = .674). Moreover, there was poor agreement between any vaginal morbidity and sexual dysfunction (Cohen's kappa of 0.17).
Conclusion: Compared to ECC survivors, LACC survivors were significantly less sexually active and reported equivalent or worse sexual/vaginal functioning, although the proportion of patients with sexual dysfunction was similar. Clinical assessment of vaginal morbidity was poorly correlated with sexual dysfunction.
