Radical surgery is the first choice for the treatment of early cervical cancer. Patients need radiotherapy and chemotherapy according to the risk factors.concurrent chemoradiotherapy with cisplatin is recommended according to NCCN recommended guidelines for the treatment of cervical cancer, with any post-operative high risk factors (lymph node metastasis, positive vaginal margin, and para-uterine infiltration). for cervical cancer patients without high risk factors but with moderate risk factors that meet Sedlis criteria, it is recommended to supplement post-operative pelvic external irradiation ± with concurrent chemotherapy with cisplatin.However, these adjuvant treatments can cause radioactive cystitis and proctitis, even vesicovaginal fistula, rectovaginal fistula, long or irreversible adverse reactions, affecting ovarian function in young patients who retain the ovary, which can lead to a decline in the quality of life of patients. These problems make it a hot topic whether chemotherapy can be used in postoperative adjuvant therapy of cervical cancer patients. This article reviews the research progress of adjuvant therapy for early cervical cancer.

BackgroundThe standard treatment for stage IB–IIB cervical cancer is radiotherapy or radical hysterectomy; after radical hysterectomy, adjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy is recommended for patients with high risk factors. However, adjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy can cause severe gastrointestinal and urinary toxicity.Primary ObjectiveTo assess whether postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy is not inferior to adjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy for overall survival in patients with high risk cervical cancer.Study HypothesisAdjuvant chemotherapy is not inferior to adjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy for overall survival and will reduce severe toxicities.Trial DesignPatients with high risk factors after radical hysterectomy will be randomized 1:1 to receive adjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy or adjuvant chemotherapy. Treatment will be started within 6 weeks of surgery. The concurrent chemoradiotherapy group will receive whole pelvis irradiation (50.4 Gy) and cisplatin (40 mg/m2/week). The chemotherapy group will receive paclitaxel (175 mg/m2) plus cisplatin (50 mg/m2) or carboplatin (AUC=6) every 3 weeks for six cycles.Major Inclusion/Exclusion CriteriaPatients with high risk stage IB–IIB cervical cancer (squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and adenosquamous cell carcinoma) who underwent radical hysterectomy are eligible for the study. High risk is defined as the presence of pelvic lymph node metastasis and/or parametrial invasion.Primary EndpointThe primary endpoint is overall survival.Sample Size250 patients in total are required.Estimated Dates for Completing AccrualThis study began in November 2019, and 250 patients will be accrued within 5 years.Trial Registration NumberThe study has been registered with the Japan Registry of Clinical Trials (jRCTs041190042).

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to assess the impact of the evolving role of the addition of chemotherapy to postoperative radiotherapy on oncological outcomes and toxicity in patients with early-stage cervical cancer after radical hysterectomy.MethodsRetrospective cohort study of patients with stage IB1–IIB FIGO 2009 cervical cancer treated from November 1999 to May 2015 by primary surgery and radiotherapy (46–50.4 Gy in 1.8–2.0 Gy fractions) with or without concurrent cisplatin (40 mg/m2, 5–6 weekly cycles) with or without a brachytherapy boost. Chemotherapy was allocated depending on the risk factors for recurrence. Incidences of all outcomes were calculated using Kaplan–Meier’s methodology and compared by log-rank tests. Risk factors for recurrence and survival were identified using Cox’s proportional hazards models.ResultsA total of 154 patients were included, median follow-up was 9.6 years (IQR: 6.1–12.8). Five-year pelvic recurrence-free survival was 75.3%; 74.7% in patients with high-risk factors treated with radiotherapy; and 77.3% in those treated with chemoradiation (P=0.43). Distant metastasis-free survival at 5 years was 63.4%; 63.6% in high-risk patients after radiotherapy; and 57.1% after chemoradiation (P=0.36). Five-year overall survival was 63.9%: 66.8% and 51.6% after radiotherapy and after chemoradiation in patients with high-risk factors (P=0.37), respectively. Large tumor size was a risk factor for vaginal and pelvic recurrence, ≥2 involved lymph nodes was a significant risk factor for para-aortic recurrence and death. Mild treatment-related late toxicity was observed in 53.9% of the patients. Five-year severe (grade 3–5) late rectal, bladder, bowel, and vaginal toxicities were, respectively, 1.3%, 0%, 3.4%, and 0.9%. Any late severe toxicity was observed in 5.5% of patients treated with radiotherapy and in 15.3% of those treated with chemoradiation (P=0.07).ConclusionPostoperative (chemo)radiation for early-stage cervical cancer patients with risk factors for recurrence yields adequate pelvic tumor control, but overall survival is limited due to distant metastasis.

8500 Background: The role of adjuvant chemotherapy for pathological stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is controversial. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of adjuvant chemotherapy for pathological stage I NSCLC with high-risk factors for recurrence. Methods: Prospectively collected data from 1,278 patients with pathological stage I (8th edition) NSCLC undergoing lobectomy were retrospectively analyzed. High-risk factors for recurrence were determined by multivariable Cox proportional hazards model for recurrence-free survival (RFS). RFS, overall survival (OS), and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were compared between patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy and those who did not. Results: In multivariable analysis, age (≥70 y; hazard ratio [HR], 2.14), invasive component size ( > 2 cm; HR, 1.60), visceral pleural invasion (HR, 1.81), lymphatic permeation (HR, 1.67), and vascular invasion (HR, 2.78) were identified as independent factors for RFS. In patients with high-risk factors for recurrence such as invasive component size of > 2 cm, visceral pleural invasion, lymphatic permeation, or vascular invasion (high-risk group; n = 641), RFS was significantly different between patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy (n = 222; 5-y RFS, 81.4%) and those who did not (n = 418; 5-y RFS, 73.8%; P = 0.023). OS and CSS were also significantly better in patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy (5-y OS, 92.7%; 5-y CSS, 95.0%) than in those who did not (5-y OS, 81.7%; P < 0.0001; 5-y CSS, 89.5%; P = 0.012). In patients without any high-risk factors for recurrence (low-risk group; n = 637), RFS was not significantly different between patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy (n = 83; 5-y RFS, 98.1%) and those who did not (n = 554; 5-y RFS, 95.7%; P = 0.30). OS and CSS were also not significantly different between patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy (5-y OS, 98.0%; 5-y CSS, 100%) and those who did not (5-y OS, 95.6%; P = 0.35; 5-y CSS, 99.4%; P = 0.52). Conclusions: Adjuvant chemotherapy may improve survival in patients with pathological stage I NSCLC who have high-risk factors for recurrence such as invasive component size of > 2 cm, visceral pleural invasion, lymphatic permeation, or vascular invasion.
