Cervical Cancer Radiotherapy by Use of VMAT, Individualized Polyradiosensitization and Interstitial Brachytherapy (CERVIPIB)

November 14, 2016 updated by: Kamal Akbarov, The National Center of Oncology, Azerbaijan

Improvement of Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer Radiotherapy Efficacy by Use of Volumetric Arc Therapy, Individualized Polyradiosensitization and Interstitial Brachytherapy

The purpose of this study is to define an effectiveness of concurrent chemoradiotherapy of cervical cancer patients treated by VMAT (volumetric arc therapy) based external beam radiotherapy, polyradiosensitization by cisplatin and gemcitabine and interstitial brachytherapy.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Now cisplatin based concurrent chemoradiotherapy for cervical cancer is a standard treatment modality. But we consider that the treatment results could be improved by several ways: 1. use of VMAT (volumetric arc therapy) based external beam radiotherapy could decrease toxicity by reducing of unnecessarily irradiated tissue volumes; 2. in addition to cisplatin gemcitabine could enhance tumor cell damaging effect of radiation; 3. interstitial brachytherapy could provide higher radiation dose boost to high risk tumor volume while sparing surrounding organs at risk.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

Exclusion Criteria:

Pregnancy or Breast-Feeding: Pregnant or breast-feeding women will not be entered on this study due to risks of fetal and teratogenic adverse events.(Note: Serum Pregnancy tests must be obtained in women of child bearing potential). Sexually active females may not participate unless they have agreed to use an effective contraceptive method (such as abstinence, diaphragm, condom, or intrauterine device) to prevent pregnancy for the duration of the study.

Growth factor(s): Growth factors that support platelet or white cell number or function must not have been administered within the past 28 days.

Erythropoietic drug(s): Erythropoietin or related hormones must not have been administered within the past 28 days.

Infection: Patients who have an uncontrolled infection. Evidence of distant metastases Prior invasive malignancy (except non-melanomatous skin cancer), unless disease free for a minimum of 3 years.

Prior systemic chemotherapy within the last three years. Prior radiotherapy to the pelvis
