Postoperative Chemoradiation v.s Radiotherapy for Lymph Node Negative Cervical Cancer Patients

April 27, 2016 updated by: xie congying

Phase III Randomized Trial of Comparing Chemoradiotherapy vs. Radiotherapy Alone in Lymph Node Negative Patients With Early-Stage Cervical Cancer Following Radical Hysterectomy

This phase III study is designed to examine if low-risk (lymph node negative), stage I a2-II b cervical cancer patients treated by paclitaxel/cisplatin chemoradiation have greater toxicities but similar survival rate as those treated by radiotherapy alone.

Detailed Description

Cervical carcinoma is one of the most common gynecologic cancers worldwide. Concurrent radiotherapy with cisplatin-based chemotherapy has become the standard treatment for patients with high risk factors cervical cancer. However, the treatment modality in patients with low-risk (lymph node negative) is still disputable. It is not yet known whether cisplatin-based chemoradiotherapy are more effective than radiotherapy alone in treating these patients.

Therefore, the investigators are going to perform the efficacy and safety study of postoperative concurrent paclitaxel/cisplatin chemoradiotherapy vs. radiotherapy alone in lymph node negative patients with early-stage cervical cancer following radical hysterectomy.
