Objective: To evaluate the association between pretreatment levels of serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and long-term treatment outcomes in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC). Methods:...Objective: To evaluate the association between pretreatment levels of serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and long-term treatment outcomes in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC). Methods: Thirty-nine patients diagnosed with LACC (stage IIB-IVA) and obtaining blood for serum VEGF were identified. All patients received complete treatment as radical radiotherapy with or without concurrent chemotherapy. Surveillance for all patients was every 3 months during the first 2 years, and every 6 months later. Results: Mean age of 39 patients was 52.3 ± 10.8 years old. Twenty-three patients (59.0%) had stage IIB, and 16 patients (41.0%) had stage IIIB. Histological cell type was mostly squamous cell carcinoma (89.7%). The median and 75th percentile level of serum VEGF were 610.2 pg/ml (0.0 - 4067.2 pg/ml) and 825.6 pg/ml, respectively. At median follow-up of 37.0 months (range, 26.8 - 46.3 months), the 3-year OS rate was 78.6%. Clinical stage (p = 0.04) and 75th percentile of VEGF level (p = 0.04) were impacted on OS in univariable analysis. The 3-year OS of patients in stage IIB with serum VEGF of ≤825.6 pg/ml and of > 825.6 pg/ml was slightly different, 94.4% and 80.0% respectively (p = 0.34), whereas there were many differences in stage IIIB, 71.4% and 25.0% in patients with serum VEGF of ≤825.6 pg/ml and of >825.6 pg/ml respectively (p = 0.05). Conclusion: High pretreatment serum VEGF level has an influence on OS for LACC. It is potentially used as a predictive factor, especially in patients stage IIIB, in order to provide efficient treatment and improve survival outcomes in the future.展开更多

Methods： Nineteen locally advanced cervical cancer （LACC） patients from November 2003 to November 2005 were analyzed retrospectively. NAIC was administrated 2 courses every 2 weeks using a combination of 30 mg/m^2 bleomycin and 50 mg/m^2 cisplatin via bilateral femur artedes. The response to NAIC was assessed by pelvic examination and imaging diagnostics and histological analysis. Two weeks after NAIC radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy was performed. Results： Radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy were performed in 18 patients successfully. The mean tumor reduction rate was 73.04%. The overall clinical response rate of NAIC was 84.2% with 2 complete responses and 16 partial responses. Only 1 nonresponder. Six of 7 cases who had parametrial infiltration had a absence after chemotherapy, no significant change was observed in 1 case who followed by radiotherapy. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that tumor volume prior to treatment was determining factor affecting the efficacy of NAIC in LACC. Conclusion： pre-operative NAIC inhibited the growth of LACC, minimized the size, eliminate effectively the pathologic dsk factors in the pelvic cavity, to improve the operability in cervical cancer patients with stage lib or above, considered inoperable.展开更多

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.展开更多
