Summary
To investigate the value of prophylactic extended-field irradiation (EFI), we conduct a randomized clinical trial to compare the efficacy and toxicity of pelvic irradiation and prophylactic EFI in selected patients with cervical cancer treated with definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy. External beam radiation therapy is delivered with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).
Description
This is a multicenter, open-label, phase III randomized clinical trial. Cervical cancer patients without evidence of para-aortic metastatic lymph nodes (MLNs) and with at least one of the following characteristics are included in the present study: (a) Number of pelvic MLNs ≥ 2; (b)Short diameter of pelvic MLNs ≥ 1.5cm; (c)Pelvic wall involvement. Patients are randomly assigned to pelvic irradiation group and prophylactic EFI group. Patients in pelvic irradiation group receive pelvic irradiation, intracavitary brachytherapy and concurrent chemotherapy. Patients in prophylactic EFI group receive irradiation for pelvis and para-aortic lymph nodes region, intracavitary brachytherapy and concurrent chemotherapy. The upper border of clinical target volume (CTV) is at the level of renal vessels for patients in prophylactic EFI group. A dose of 45-50.4 Gy is delivered to CTV with IMRT in both groups. Patients receive cisplatin based concurrent chemotherapy (single cisplatin or cisplatin plus paclitaxel). The primary endpoint is progression-free survival.
