Objectives: To evaluate the type of salvage treatment and outcomes of patients with locally advanced cervical cancer who failed treatment with concurrent chemoradiation with or without adjuvant chemotherapy.

Methods: This was post hoc analyses of data from the randomized trial which included 259 patients who had FIGO stage IIB-IVA and had either pelvic radiation therapy concurrent with cisplatin followed by observation or paclitaxel plus carboplatin. Data of the patients who failed primary treatment were collected: type of salvage treatments, time to progress after salvage therapy, progression-free (PFS) and overall survivals (OS).

Objectives: To evaluate sites of failure and long-term survival outcomes of locally advanced stage cervical cancer patients who had standard concurrent chemo-radiation (CCRT) versus those along with adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) after CCRT.

Methods: Patients aged 18-70 years who had FIGO stage IIB-IVA without para-aortic lymph node enlargement (excluding by International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) 2018 stage IIIC2r), The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scores 0-2, and non-aggressive histopathology were randomized to have CCRT with weekly cisplatin followed by observation (arm A) or ACT with paclitaxel plus carboplatin every 4 weeks for 3 cycles (arm B).

Results: From 2015-2017, 259 patients were evaluated.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of adding adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) after standard concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CCRT) in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer.
  • No significant difference in response rates or survival outcomes was observed between patients who received only CCRT and those who also received ACT, although systemic recurrences were lower in the ACT group.
  • The findings suggest that adding ACT does not enhance overall treatment effectiveness compared to CCRT alone, despite some benefits in reducing systemic recurrences.
