- Abstract
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of treatment with both three-dimensional radiotherapy (3DRT) and weekly 40-mg/m2 cisplatin on postoperative uterine cervical cancer patients with high-risk prognostic factors. Methods: We conducted a retrospective multi-institutional chart review of postoperative uterine cervical cancer patients with high-risk prognostic factors who had been treated with both 3DRT and weekly 40-mg/m2 cisplatin from 2007 to 2012. Each participating hospital provided detailed information regarding patient characteristics, treatment outcomes, and treatment complications. Results: The eligible 96 patients were analyzed. The median follow-up period was 61 months. The 3-year relapse-free survival, overall survival (OS), and locoregional relapse-free survival (LRFS) rates were 76%, 90%, and 88%, respectively. In multivariate analysis, the histological finding of either adenocarcinoma or adenosquamous carcinoma was a significant risk factor for both OS and LRFS. The percentage of patients with grade ≥ 3 acute hematologic toxicity, acute lower gastrointestinal toxicity (GIT), and late lower GIT were 45%, 19%, and 17%, respectively. Conclusions: The outcomes of concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) using weekly 40-mg/m2 cisplatin are similar to those in the previous studies that used several chemotherapy regimens. However, postoperative CCRT using 3DRT had a high level of late GIT.
