Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Para-aortic lymph node metastasis is a poor prognostic factor for locally advanced cervical cancer, but false negative diagnosis is easy to occur. The aim of this trial was to investigate whether para-aortic prophylactic radiotherapy improves disease-free survival in patients with positive pelvic lymph nodes below the common iliac artery.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This clinical trial enrolled participants with locally advanced cervical cancer with positive pelvic lymph nodes below the common iliac region diagnosed by Positron emission tomography-computed tomography(PET-CT). Participants should be able to receive concurrent cisplatin chemotherapy. No anti-tumor treatment was given before randomization. Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups. The study group will receive radiotherapy of pelvic and para-aorta, concurrent chemotherapy and brachytherapy, and the control group will receive pelvic radiotherapy, concurrent chemotherapy and brachytherapy.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

study arm

External beam radiotherapy:

Pelvic and para-aortic radiotherapy 45-50.4Gy/25-28 fractions. PET-CT positive lymph node should be boost to a dose of 60Gy or higher. Parametrium(both) should be boost to a dose from 50Gy to 60Gy.

Concurrent chemotherapy:

Weekly cisplatin 40mg/m2 during external beam radiotherapy.

Brachytherapy:

High dose rate(HDR) Brachytherapy. The dose of high-risk clinical target volume(HR CTV) D90 or Point A should be 85Gy+/-10%. The dose of intermediate-risk clinical target volume(IR CTV) D98 should be 60Gy at least.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Paraaortic prophylactic irradiation and pelvic definitive concurrent chemoradiation

Intervention Type RADIATION

The para-aortic area, from left renal vein level to abdominal aorta bifurcation level,will be prophylactic irradiation. The other intervention is the same as control arm.

Pelvic radiotherapy 45-50.4Gy/25-28 fractions. PET-CT positive lymph node should be boost to a dose of 60Gy or higher. Parametrium(both) should be boost to a dose from 50Gy to 60Gy.

Concurrent chemotherapy:

Weekly cisplatin 40mg/m2 during external beam radiotherapy.

Brachytherapy:

HDR Brachytherapy. The dose of HR CTV D90 or Point A should be 85Gy+/-10%. The dose of IR CTV D98 should be 60Gy at least.
