AbstractTargeted sequencing for somatic mutations across the hotspots of 50 cancer-related genes was performed using biopsy specimens to investigate whether clinicopathological factors and genomic alterations correlated with prognosis in locally advanced cervical cancer. Seventy patients diagnosed with International Federation of Obstetrics and Gynecology (FIGO) stage III to IVA cervical cancer underwent radiotherapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy at the National Cancer Center Hospital between January 2008 and December 2017. Mutations were detected in 47 of 70 [67% of cases; frequency of genetic alterations was as follows: PIK3CA (51%), FBXW7 (10%), PTEN (7.1%), and TP53 (5.7%)]. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) datasets showed a similar distribution of somatic mutations, but PIK3CA mutation frequency was significantly higher in our cohort than in TCGA datasets (P = 0.028). Patients with TP53 mutation were significantly related to poor progression-free survival (PFS) (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.53, P = 0.042). Patients with tumor diameters > 70 mm were associated with poor prognosis (HR = 2.96, P = 0.0048). Patients with non-HPV16/18 genotypes had worse prognosis than those with HPV16/18 genotypes (HR = 2.15, P = 0.030). Hence, patients with locally advanced cervical cancer, TP53 mutation, large tumor diameter, and non-HPV16/18 genotype were independently correlated with poor PFS, despite concurrent chemoradiotherapy.

16056 Background: The purpose of this study was to report the feasibility and efficacy of concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) for the locally advanced cervical cancer in our institute. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 147 patients (stage Ib: 9, II: 82, III: 80, and IVa: 7) with squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix treated with CCRT. Cisplatin (20mg/m2/day) was administered for 5 days every 3 weeks for a median of three courses (range: 1–5 courses) during radiotherapy (RT). The patients with paraaortic and/or common iliac lymphadenopathy were excluded. RT consisted of pelvic external beam RT (EBRT) with 40Gy/20 fractions followed by high-dose rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT) with 18Gy/3 fractions and pelvic EBRT with 10Gy/5 fractions using a midline block. Late complications were graded by the RTOG/EORTC criteria. Results: The 5-year actuarial overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and pelvic relapse-free survival were 78.5%, 70.7%, and 78.0%, respectively. The 5-year OS by the disease stage was as follows: stage Ib 100%, II 82.0%, III 62.3%, and IVa 35.7%. Multivariate analysis identified pelvic lymphadenopathy, tumor diameter > 7cm, and pretreatment hemoglobin < 9.0g/dl as an independent prognostic factor for both OS and DFS. Only one patient suffered from grade 3 enterocolitis, but no grade 4 complication developed. Conclusions: Our experience suggests that CCRT using HDR-BT for locally advanced cervical cancer could achieve favorable local control without suffering from severe late complications. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract Background: This study was aimed to determine the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy consisting of nab-paclitaxel and cisplatin (NACT-nPC) in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer.Materials and Methods: The consecutive, newly diagnosed, non-metastatic and locally advanced cervical cancer patients were retrospectively recruited between October 2016 and June 2020 in our hospital. All patients received concurrent chemoradiotherapy alone or following neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Patients were divided into two groups: one receiving NACT-nPC, and the control group receiving no or other regimes of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. We compared the complete remission rate of primary tumor at the end of external radiotherapy and chemoradiotherapy between the two groups. Results: A total of 198 patients were enrolled in this study, including 60 in NACT-nPC group and 138 in control group. At the end of external radiotherapy, 27 patients in NACT-nPC group and 32 patients in control group achieved complete remission (P = 0.002). At the end of chemoradiotherapy, 56 patients in NACT-nPC group and 114 patients in control group achieved complete remission (P = 0.033). The acute side effects above grade 3 in NACT-nPC group was 41.7% (25/60) and manageable, lower than control group which was 77/138 (55.8%).Conclusions: NACT-nPC can improve the complete response rate of patients with locally advanced cervical cancer followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy, and the toxicity is tolerable. Furthermore, we suspect the NACT-nPC can improve the survival of the patients. However, further prospective studies are needed to confirm this result.
