e17002 Background:The purpose of this study is to observe the short-term efficacy and pathological outcomes of paclitaxel combined with platinum (TP) as neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) regimen in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC). Methods: This is a prospective study involving 61 women with histologically confirmed LACC referred for NACT at Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital between April 2013 and January 2015. Results: The short-term efficacy of NACT was evaluated by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). The short-term efficacy of NACT was 91.8% (complete remission and partial remission). The cervical invasion ≤1/2 was 82.4% in the complete remission (CR) group, 46.2% in the partial remission(PR) group and 20% in the stable disease (SD) group. The difference between groups was statistically significant (p=0.012). The slides of all surgical specimens were reviewed and classified according to Tumor Regression Grade (TRG). The good response was defined by good short-term efficacy (RECIST) and the difference between the groups was statistically significant (p=0.042). The short-term efficacy of NACT in artery intervention (AI) group (70-80%) was better than that in intravenous (IV) group (20%-30%) and the difference was statistically significant (p=0.011). The patients with tumor diameter ≤5cm and multiple cycles of chemotherapy have good short-term efficacy of NACT in LACC. All patients were followed up to the last day of 2015 with the median follow-up time of 21.5 months for NACT. For the 61 patients referred for NACT in LACC, two patients had relapsed and 1 patient died from the disease. Conclusions: The study showed that the Paclitaxel plus platinum as NACT for LACC treatment had a significant local effects. It could reduce tumor myometrial invasion and regress tumor. The short-term efficacy of the treatment in the AI group was more effective than in the IV group, two cycles of NACT of AI treatment to LACC patients would obtain an optimal short-term efficacy. Clinical trial information: NCT02471027.

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.

Response To Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy

PURPOSE The aim of the study was to investigate the role of squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC) in the management of patients with locally advanced cervical cancer treated by neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radical surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS SCC assay was performed with a radioimmunoassay kit in a series of 102 patients with locally advanced cervical cancer. The values of 2.5, 5, and 7 ng/mL were used to define SCC antigen positivity. The chi 2 and Fisher's exact test and the stepwise logistic regression were used to evaluate the distribution of marker values. Analysis of survival was performed using the Kaplan and Meier test and Cox multivariate regression analysis. RESULTS SCC levels were elevated in 65%, 45%, and 32% of patients with primary tumors for cutoff values of 2.5, 5, and 7 ng/mL, respectively. SCC pretreatment levels correlated with stage, tumor volume and lymph node status. In the multivariate analysis, SCC expression proved to be an independent predictor of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. SCC posttreatment levels were strongly related to chemotherapy response. Moreover, the overall correlation between the clinical course of the disease and the variation of SCC levels was 83%. In patients with squamous cell tumors, survival was significantly longer in SCC-negative cases compared with SCC-positive cases (P = .04). Moreover, in patients undergoing surgery after response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, low SCC values were associated with better prognosis (P = .02). In the multivariate analysis, parametrial involvement and SCC status proved to retain an independent prognostic value. CONCLUSION Our data show that SCC assay may provide useful information to improve the prognostic characterization and disease monitoring of patients with locally advanced cervical cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
