Concurrent chemoradiotherapy for cervical cancer： background including evidence-based data, pitfalls of the data, limitation of treatment in certain groups

Concurrent chemoradiotherapy （CCRT） is regarded as the standard treatment for locally advanced uterine cervical cancer （LACC）, including stage Ib2-IVa disease [International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics （FIGO） staging]. However, approximately a third of eligible patients in previous studies died of LACC despite receiving CCRT. The therapeutic significance of CCRT alone in stage Ⅲ-IVa disease has not yet been confirmed. Effective treatment of some LACC is beyond the scope of CCRT. The objective of the present review is to highlight some challenging work aimed at overcoming this seemingly intractable disease. CCRT with increased peak concentrations of cisplatin （CDDP）, surgery following CCRT, adjuvant chemotherapy （CT） following CCRT, and neoadjuvant CT followed by CCRT are strategies expected to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of CCRT. If patients with LACC were divided into those with low-risk or high-risk systemic disease or prognoses, novel strategies should be assessed in the group with high-risk disease.

Efficacy of concurrent chemoradiotherapy plus adjuvant chemotherapy on advanced cervical cancer

Background and Objective: Concurrent chemoradiotherapy for cervical carcinoma develops rapidly and has become a common and standard therapy in recent years. Both the local control rate and survival rate of patients were increased and the risk of death fell by 30%-50%. This study aimed to explore the efficacy of concurrent chemoradiotherapy plus adjuvant chemotherapy on and the treatment compliance of the patients with advanced cervical squamous cell carcinoma. Methods: A total of 156 patients with stage IIa-IIIb cervical squamous cell carcinoma were randomly divided into the concurrent chemoradiotherapy group (experimental group) and radiotherapy group (control group). Intracavity and external beam radiation therapy were administered. At point A, 40-48 Gy were given by 10-12 fractions; at point B, 46-50 Gy were given by 23-25 fractions. In the same time, experimental group was treated by cisplatin (DDP, 40 mg) on day 1, repeated every week. Ten days after radiation therapy, TP regimen was administered as adjuvant chemotherapy. Results: For the experimental and control groups, the objective response rates were 88.61% and 75.32%, 1-year survival rates were 88.57% and 70.77%, 1-year local control rates were 81.43% and 64.62%, 3-year survival rates were 82.14% and 57.69%, and 3-year local control rates were 75.00% and 46.15%, with significant differences (P < 0.05). Quality of life of all patients were significantly improved after treatment (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Concurrent chemoradiotherapy plus adjuvant chemotherapy for advanced cervical cancer can improve short-term and long-term survival and local control rates of patients, improve the quality of life, and the toxicity can be tolerated.

Phase 1/2 study of concurrent chemoradiotherapy with weekly irinotecan hydrochloride for advanced/recurrence uterine cancer:A multi-institutional study of Kansai Clinical Oncology Group

Objective:Concurrent chemoradiotherapy using cisplatin was thought to be standard treatment for squamous cell carcinoma of cervix,but it had not been effective for adenocarcinoma.Concurrent chemoradiotherapy using irinotecan hydrochloride(CPT-11)had been effective for colorectal cancer,thus,we chose CPT-11 as a candidate for gynecologic adenocarcinoma.To evaluate the maximum tolerated dose(MTD)of weekly CPT-11 with external pelvic radiotherapy,a phase 1/2 study was conducted according to modified Fibonacci method.Methods:Eligible patients were advanced uterine cancer with measurable diseases[performance score(PS):0-2].Study period was from August 1 st,2002 to December 31 st,2008.The starting dose level(DL)of CPT-11 was 30 mg/m2(DL1)given weekly for 4 weeks.Subsequently,dose escalation was scheduled in 10 mg/m2 increments to 60 mg/m^2(DL4).The fixed radiotherapy consisted of whole pelvic 1.8 Gy/d,once a day in weekday for five weeks and it amounted to 45 Gy(25 fractions)in total.Results:Seventeen patients were enrolled.As for toxicities,one(1/17:5.9%)grade(G)4 neutropenia lasting 7 days had been seen in DL4.G2 diarrhea was identified in 35.3%(6/17)of the patients,and 11.8%(2/17)G3 diarrhea was observed in DL3 and DL4.Thus,the MTD of CPT-11 was defined as dose of 60 mg/m^2.The recommended dose was decided as 50 mg/m^2.The response rate was 88.2%[9 complete response(CR),3 partial response(PR),3 stable disease(SD),2 not evaluable(NE)].Disease control rate at 1 month after treatment completion was 100%but distant metastases were found in 24%(4/17)in longer outcome.Conclusions:MTD was 60 mg/m^2 and recommended dose was set as 50 mg/m2.This concurrent chemoradiation using weekly CPT-11 was feasible at 50 mg/m^2,and it might be effective even in adenocarcinoma of the uterus.

Initial outcome of induction chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy and concurrent weekly paclitaxel for stage Ⅲ non-small cell lung cancer

Objective： The aim of our study was to evaluate the toxicity and efficacy of induction chemotherapy （ICT） followed by three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy （3D CRT） and concurrent weekly paclitaxel on unresectable non-small cell lung cancer （NSCLC）. Methods： Stage III NSCLC patients with favorable conditions were treated with 2 to 4 cycles of carboplatin （AUC = 5-6, dl） combined with paclitaxel （175 mg/m〈 dl）, then followed by weekly paclitaxel （40 mg/m2） and concurrent 3D CRT within 3-4 weeks. The prescription dose was given as high as possible under the condition that V20 〈 31% and spinal cord dose 〈 50 Gy. Results： Thirty-one patients were enrolled. ICT was well tolerated. During the concurrent chemoradiotherapy, the treatment of 3 patients was ended ahead of the schedule because of severe pulmonary and heart toxicities; the treatment of 2 patients was delayed for 7 and 12 days because of fatigue. Myelosuppression was mild （16/31）： all were grade 1-2 except 1 was grade 3. Lymphocytopenia was more obvious （29/31, grade 3 in 21）. Three patients developed grade 3 radiation-induced esophagitis, and 2 developed grades 3-4 radiation-induced pneumonitis. Two developed grade 3 esophageal stricture. No grades 3-4 pulmonary fibrosis was observed. The overall response rate was 74.1%. The 1-, 2-, 3-year overall survival rates were 74.2%, 41.9%, and 34.6%, respectively, with the median survival time of 18.5 months. The 1-, 2-, 3-year local progression-freely survival rates were 64.5%, 32.3%, and 20.5%, respectively, with the median local progression-freely survival time of 14.3 months. Conclusion： The program of ICT followed by weekly paclitaxel and 3D CRT is accomplished in most of the favorable stage III NSCLC patients. The toxicity is tolerable, and the response rate is inspiriting.

Adjuvant chemotherapy versus adjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy after radical surgery for early-stage cervical cancer:a randomized,non-inferiority,multicenter trial

We conducted a prospective study to assess the non-inferiority of adjuvant chemotherapy alone versus adjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) as an alternative strategy for patients with early-stage (FIGO 2009 stage IB–IIA) cervical cancer having risk factors after surgery. The condition was assessed in terms of prognosis, adverse effects, and quality of life. This randomized trial involved nine centers across China. Eligible patients were randomized to receive adjuvant chemotherapy or CCRT after surgery. The primary end-point was progression-free survival (PFS). From December 2012 to December 2014, 337 patients were subjected to randomization. Final analysis included 329 patients, including 165 in the adjuvant chemotherapy group and 164 in the adjuvant CCRT group. The median follow-up was 72.1 months. The three-year PFS rates were both 91.9%, and the five-year OS was 90.6% versus 90.0% in adjuvant chemotherapy and CCRT groups, respectively. No significant differences were observed in the PFS or OS between groups. The adjusted HR for PFS was 0.854 (95% confidence interval 0.415–1.757;P = 0.667) favoring adjuvant chemotherapy, excluding the predefined non-inferiority boundary of 1.9. The chemotherapy group showed a tendency toward good quality of life. In comparison with post-operative adjuvant CCRT, adjuvant chemotherapy treatment showed non-inferior efficacy in patients with early-stage cervical cancer having pathological risk factors. Adjuvant chemotherapy alone is a favorable alternative post-operative treatment.

Association between IDEAL-IQ MRI fat fraction quantification and pelvic bone marrow reserve function in concurrent chemoradiotherapy for cervical cancer

Objective:To analyze the association between iterative decomposition of water and fat with echo asymmetry and least-squares estimation quantification sequence(IDEAL-IQ)magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)of bone marrow fat fraction and bone marrow reserve function during concurrent chemoradiotherapy for cervical cancer.Methods:The study retrospectively analyzed twenty-six patients with stage IB1 to IVA cervical cancer treated between February 2020 and November 2020.All patients received concurrent chemoradiotherapy that included platinum alone or combined paclitaxel and platinum.Pelvic IDEAL-IQ MRI(plain and enhanced)was performed before and after treatment.Regions of interest,including the fifth lumbar vertebra,sacrum,ilium,ischium,and femoral neck,were manually delineated,and the bone marrow fat fraction was measured.Peripheral blood cell counts were recorded during treatment,and the relationship between the fat fraction values and changes in the blood cell counts was explored.Results:IDEAL-IQ MRI bone marrow fat fraction was associated with platelet nadir and platelet decline during treatment.The average pelvic bone marrow fat fraction before chemoradiotherapy was moderately negatively correlated with platelet count nadir during concurrent chemoradiotherapy(r=-0.450,P?0.021).The change in average pelvic bone marrow fat fraction through chemoradiotherapy was moderately positively correlated with the degree of thrombocytopenia(r=0.399,P=0.044).Conclusion:Bone marrow fat content quantified by IDEAL-IQ was associated with platelet count nadir and the degree of thrombocytopenia in patients with cervical cancer undergoing concurrent chemoradiotherapy.

Effect of Endostar combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer

ObjectiveTo explore the value of Endostar in the clinical application of locally advanced cervical cancer.MethodsA total of 107 patients with locally advanced cervical cancer who received concurrent chemoradiotherapy(CCRT)in the Department of Radiotherapy,the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University and Changzhou No.2 People's Hospital between January 2018 and December 2020 were enrolled in this retrospective study.There were 30 cases in the Endostar combined with CCRT(E-CCRT)group and 77 in the CCRT group.Propensity score matching(PSM)was used to reduce confounding factors.The short-term efficacy and long-term survival rate were compared between the E-CCRT group and the CCRT group.ResultsAfter matching,the objective response rates in the E-CCRT group and CCRT group were 86.7%and 63.3%,respectively,with statistically significant difference(χ^(2)=4.356,P=0.037).But there were no statistically significant differences in the disease control rates(96.7%vs.86.7%,χ^(2)=0.873,P=0.350),3-year overall survival(OS)rates(86.7%vs.83.3%,P=0.681),and 3-year disease-free survival(DFS)rates(both 76.7%and 76.7%,P=0.869).There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups.ConclusionsE-CCRT can improve the response of locally advanced cervical cancer patients without increasing the occurrence of adverse reactions,and has the potential to become a new treatment regimen for cervical cancer.

Correlations between alterations of T-helper 17 cells and treatment efficacy after concurrent radiochemotherapy in locally advanced cervical cancer (stage IIB-IIIB): a 3-year prospective study

Background::Recently,T-helper 17(Th17)cells have been proved to play an important role in promoting cervical cancer.But,till now,few study has been carried out to understand the involvement of these cells in efficacy of anti-tumor treatments.This study aimed to investigate the alterations in the percentage of circulating Th17 cells and related cytokines in locally advanced cervical cancer(LACC)patients before and after concurrent chemoradiotherapy(cCRT)and to analyze the correlations between the alterations in Th17 cells and treatment efficacy.Methods::A prospective study with 49 LACC(International federation of gynecology and obstetrics[FIGO]stage IIB-IIIB)patients and 23 controls was conducted.Patients received the same cCRT schedule and were followed up for 3 years.Circulating Th17 cells(CD3+CD8-interleukin[IL]-17+T cells)and related cytokines IL-17,transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β),IL-10,IL-23,IL-6,and IL-22 were detected before and after cCRT.Correlations between alterations of circulating Th17 cells and treatment efficacy were analyzed.Kaplan-Meier analysis was used for overall survival(OS)and progression-free survival(PFS).Results::We found that 40 patients finished the entire cCRT schedule and met the endpoint of this study.The percentage of circulating Th17 cells in the LACC patients was higher than that in the controls,and it significantly decreased after cCRT(P<0.05).After cCRT,patients were divided into two groups based on the average of the Th17 cells declined.The subgroup of patients with a prominent decrease in circulating Th17 cells after cCRT had a higher treatment efficacy and longer PFS and OS times.Compared with the control patients,LACC patients had higher IL-6,IL-10,IL-22,TGF-βlevels and a lower IL-23 level(P<0.05).After cCRT,IL-6,IL-10,IL-17,IL-23 level significantly increased and TGF-βlevel significantly decreased compared with the levels before cCRT(P<0.05).Conclusion::Circulating Th17 cells in the LACC patients(FIGO stage IIB-IIIB)were higher than those in the controls,but they generally decreased after cCRT.A more pronounced decrease in circulating Th17 cells after cCRT was correlated with better therapeutic effect and longer PFS and OS times.

宫颈癌病人同步放化疗期间症状群及前哨症状的调查研究

目的:调查宫颈癌病人同步放化疗期间症状群及前哨症状,了解症状聚群的潜在机制,为临床早期识别宫颈癌病人症状群及症状群管理提供参考。方法:采用便利抽样法,选取2022年9月—2023年9月某三级甲等医院临床肿瘤中心进行同步放化疗的210例宫颈癌病人为研究对象,采用一般资料调查表、中文版记忆症状评估量表对其进行调查。采用探索性因子分析确定症状群,基于Apriori算法关联分析确定各症状群的前哨症状。结果:宫颈癌病人同步放化疗期间存在4类症状群,即疾病行为症状群、消化道症状群、疲乏症状群、情绪症状群。Apriori算法关联分析显示,排尿问题为疲乏症状群的前哨症状,恶心为消化道症状群的前哨症状,感到悲伤为情绪症状群的前哨症状,口干为疾病行为症状群的前哨症状。结论:宫颈癌病人同步放化疗期间症状群负担过重。建议医护人员将前哨症状作为症状群管理的切入点,提高症状管理效率,减轻病人症状负担。

血清miR-155、miR-24检测对宫颈癌同步放化疗后肿瘤残留的早期预测价值

目的分析血清miR-155、miR-24表达水平对宫颈癌同步放化疗(CCRT)后肿瘤残留的早期预测价值。方法回顾性选取行CCRT治疗的宫颈癌患者300例为研究对象,按照7∶3的分配比例分为建模组210例和验证组90例。建模组患者根据术后MRI结果分为残留组81例与非残留组129例。收集建模组患者CCRT前临床基线资料与实验室检验指标,筛选独立影响因素,构建宫颈癌CCRT后早期肿瘤残留列线图预测模型,并通过验证组资料收集配合完成预测模型的验证与价值分析。结果宫颈癌患者血清miR-155、宫旁浸润、FIGO分期是影响患者CCRT后早期肿瘤残留的独立危险因素,血清miR-24是影响患者CCRT后早期肿瘤残留的独立保护因素(OR分别=1.77、3.22、8.55、0.18,P均<0.05)。基于以上独立影响因素构建了宫颈癌CCRT后早期肿瘤残留预测模型。建模组ROC曲线下面积(AUC)为0.84(95%CI:0.79~0.89),区分度良好;验证组ROC曲线AUC为0.90(95%CI:0.81~0.98)。内、外部校准曲线与标准曲线均有较好贴合度。内、外部决策曲线显示模型能提供显著的临床净收益。结论血清miR-155、miR-24表达水平对宫颈癌CCRT后早期肿瘤残留具有良好的预测价值,结合宫旁浸润、FIGO分期等临床特征构建列线图预测模型可为早期肿瘤残留高风险患者的有效筛选提供数据支持。
