Purpose: To report the long-term outcome in lymph nodal–metastatic cervical squamous cell cancer after chemoradiation followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. Patients and Methods: Between 2010 and 2013, five patients were diagnosed with advanced cervical cancer with clinically involved para-aortic lymph nodes (ie, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage IVB). These patients were treated with concurrent chemoradiation therapy followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. Concurrent chemoradiation consisted of cisplatin given once per week concomitantly with extended-field radiation therapy followed by high-dose-rate brachytherapy. Adjuvant chemotherapy comprised four courses of carboplatin and paclitaxel given every three weeks. The primary outcomes were local and distant failures. Results: None of the patients had local recurrence or distal failure after a minimum follow-up time of 3 years. Conclusion: Adjuvant chemotherapy after chemoradiation has a probable role in the management of lymph nodal–metastatic cervical cancer. |
