PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of radiation therapy for stage IVA uterine cervical cancer and to identify an optimal radiation regimen.
RESULTS: Seventeen of the 28 patients developed recurrence after radiation therapy (local recurrence in 10 and distant metastasis in 12). The local control and distant metastasis-free rates at 3 years in all patients were 61% and 49%, respectively. Fourteen patients died after radiation therapy, and all but 2 died of tumor progression. The disease-free, cause-specific, and overall survival rates at 3 years in all patients were 32%, 49%, and 45%, respectively, and the estimated median survival time was 32 months. Tumor size (P = 0.007) and involvement in the lower third of vagina (P = 0.006) were significant prognostic factors for local control. Older age (P = 0.018) and performance status (P = 0.020) were significant prognostic factors for distant metastasis. The presence of hydronephrosis was the sole significant prognostic factor for survival (P = 0.026). Only 2 patients developed grade 3 late toxicities (vesicovaginal fistula and radiation proctitis, respectively).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-eight patients with stage IVA uterine cervical cancer received radiation therapy. All patients initially received external pelvic irradiation at a median dose of 50.4 Gy in 28 fractions. Twenty patients also received high-dose-rate intracavitary brachytherapy at a median dose of 22 Gy in 4 fractions. These fraction sizes were lower than conventional sizes. The total median dose for all 28 patients was 68.7 Gy.
CONCLUSIONS: Radiation therapy is safe and effective for treatment of stage IVA uterine cervical cancer. The reduced radiation dose per fraction may contribute to the prevention of vesicovaginal fistula formation.
