PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the treatment results with focus on local control (LC) by computed tomography (CT)-guided intracavity brachytherapy and interstitial brachytherapy (ICBT/ISBT) for locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC).
METHODS AND MATERIALS: Patients with LACC undergoing ICBT/ISBT at least once in our institution between January 2017 and June 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. The primary endpoint was local control (LC), and the secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and late toxicities. Differences between patient subgroups for prognostic factors in LC, PFS, and OS were analyzed using the log-rank test. The recurrence patterns of LC were also investigated.
RESULTS: Forty-four patients were included in the present study. The median high-risk clinical target volume (HR-CTV) at the initial brachytherapy was 48.2 cc. The median total dose of HR-CTV D90 (EQD2) was 70.7 Gy. The median followup period was 39.4 months. The 3-year LC, PFS and OS rates in all patients were 88.2%, 56.6%, and 65.4% (95% CI 50.3-78.0%), respectively. Corpus invasion and large HR-CTV (70 cc or more) were significant prognostic factors in LC, PFS, and OS. Marginal recurrences at the fundus of the uterus were detected in 3 of 5 patients in whom local recurrence was observed. Late toxicities of Grade 3 or higher were detected in 3 patients (6.8%).
CONCLUSIONS: Favorable LC was achieved by performing CT-guided ICBT/ISBT for LACC. The brachytherapy strategy for patients with corpus invasion or large HR-CTV may need to be reconsidered.
