Abstract
Objectives
To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of consolidation chemotherapy (C-CT) following concurrent cisplatin chemotherapy combined with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in patients with early-stage cervical cancer who present high-risk factors (HRFs).
Methods
Between 2013 and 2023, a total of 190 women were included in this retrospective study. Among these, 82 patients received postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) with weekly cisplatin and IMRT (45.0–50.4 Gy), followed by C-CT, while 108 patients received CCRT alone. A propensity score matching (PSM) was performed with a ratio of 1:1. Clinical parameters, overall survival (OS), and relapse-free survival (RFS) were analyzed for both groups.
Results
The median follow-up duration was 50.2 months. The 4-year OS rates were 88.7% in the C-CT group and 87.9% in the CCRT-only group (p = 0.886). The 4-year RFS rates were 76.3% for the C-CT group and 80.5% for the CCRT-only group (p = 0.289). In patients with three or more positive lymph nodes, C-CT was associated with significantly improved OS compared to the CCRT-only group (HR 0.14, 95% CI 0.02–0.88, p = 0.036), while RFS showed no significant difference (HR 0.80, 95% CI 0.27–2.32, p = 0.676). However, the incidence of grade 3/4 hematologic toxicity was higher in the C-CT group (16.8% vs. 1.7%, p = 0.009).
Conclusions
Our study found that C-CT following concurrent cisplatin chemotherapy with IMRT did not confer additional benefits over CCRT alone in the majority of early-stage cervical cancer patients with HRFs, except in those with three or more positive lymph nodes.
目的评价存在高危因素(hrf)的早期宫颈癌患者顺铂化疗联合调强放疗(IMRT)合并巩固化疗(C-CT)的疗效和毒副作用。方法2013年至2023年,190名女性纳入回顾性研究。其中,82例患者术后同步放化疗(CCRT)联合每周顺铂+ IMRT (45.0-50.4 Gy),然后进行C-CT, 108例患者单独接受CCRT。以1:1的比例进行倾向评分匹配(PSM)。分析两组患者的临床参数、总生存期(OS)和无复发生存期(RFS)。结果中位随访时间为50.2个月。C-CT组4年OS率为88.7%,单纯cct组为87.9% (p = 0.886)。C-CT组的4年RFS为76.3%,cct组为80.5% (p = 0.289)。在有三个或更多淋巴结阳性的患者中,与仅ccrt组相比,C-CT与OS的显著改善相关(HR 0.14, 95% CI 0.02-0.88, p = 0.036),而RFS无显著差异(HR 0.80, 95% CI 0.27-2.32, p = 0.676)。然而,C-CT组3/4级血液学毒性发生率更高(16.8% vs. 1.7%, p = 0.009)。我们的研究发现,除了那些有三个或更多淋巴结阳性的早期宫颈癌HRFs患者外,C-CT顺铂化疗联合IMRT并没有比单独CCRT带来额外的益处。
