A Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized Trial of Adjuvant Chemotherapy for Early-Stage Cervical Cancer Patients (CC-01)

We will conduct a trial to determine whether paclitaxel/cisplatin (TP) as an adjuvant chemotherapy after radical surgery improve disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS), as well as the quality of life (QoL) among early-stage (FIGO stage IB-IIA) cervical cancer patients with risk factors.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Adjuvant Chemotherapy (Arm A); Paclitaxel (T): 135-175 mg/m(2) intravenously (IV) on day 1, administrated intravenously over 3 hours; followed by cisplatin 75-85 mg/m(2) IV on day 2 and 3. Patients received at least 3 cycles at 4-week intervals beginning 2-3 weeks after surgery. 3-6 cycles as necessary.	Procedure: radical hysterectomy + pelvic lymph node dissection; Drug: Paclitaxel; 135-175 mg/m(2) intravenously (IV) on day 1; Drug: Cisplatin; 75 mg/m(2) IV on day 2 and 3; Drug: Cisplatin; 35 mg/m(2) IV once a week
Active Comparator: Concurrent radiochemotherapy, CCRT (Arm B); Pelvic RT is delivered using IMRT technique, 45～50.4 Gy/4～7 weeks, brachytherapy will been given as necessary. Cisplatin 35 mg/m(2) IV once a week. Total treatment time is 6-7 weeks.	Procedure: radical hysterectomy + pelvic lymph node dissection; Drug: Cisplatin; 75 mg/m(2) IV on day 2 and 3; Drug: Cisplatin; 35 mg/m(2) IV once a week; Radiation: Pelvic RT; IMRT
