Overview
To evaluate if adjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy is associated with a recurrence-free survival benefit in comparison with radiotherapy alone in selected intermediate risk cervical cancer after radical surgery.
Description
Adjuvant therapy for patients with cervical cancer (CC) with intermediate-risk factors remains controversial. According to result of GOG 92 trail, adjuvant radiotherapy significantly improved recurrence-free survival in early stage cervical cancer with intermediate risks (Sedlis criteria). However, significant heterogeneity exists in Sedlis criteria, high risk of relapse and death occurred in patients with (1) lympho-vascular space invasion(LVSI+) and deep 1/3 stromal invasion;(2) LVSI(+) and middle 1/3 stromal invasion, and tumor size≥4cm when compared with other factors. In addition, multiple studies have confirmed that (3)non-squamous histology is an independent prognostic factor in early stage cervical cancer, who might be benefited from adjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy. As a result, The objective of the trial is to evaluate if adjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy is associated with a recurrence-free survival benefit in comparison with radiotherapy alone in selected intermediate risk cervical cancer after radical surgery. The primary endpoint of the study is the recurrence-free survival from the day of randomization.
