BackgroundConcurrent chemoradiotherapy is the first-line treatment for FIGO stage IIB cervical cancer. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radical surgery may provide another treatment option.Primary objectiveTo compare the therapeutic outcomes of neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery with cisplatin-based concurrent chemoradiotherapy for stage IIB cervical cancer.Study hypothesisWe hypothesize that the therapeutic effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with surgery and risk-adapted adjuvant treatment will be superior to that of concurrent chemoradiotherapy in stage IIB cervical cancer.Trial designPatients with stage IIB cervical cancer will be randomized 1:1 to neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery (Arm A) or concurrent chemoradiotherapy (Arm B). In arm A, patients will receive three cycles of paclitaxel and cisplatin followed by a type C radical hysterectomy and pelvic ±paraaortic lymphadenectomy. Patients showing progression after neoadjuvant chemotherapy will be referred to concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Adjuvant therapy will be recommended according to the presence of pathological risks. In Arm B, all patients will receive definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy, including external beam pelvic radiotherapy combined with concurrent weekly cisplatin followed by brachytherapy.Major inclusion/exclusion criteriaPatients between 18 and 60 years with histologically confirmed, untreated stage IIB cervical squamous carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, or adeno-squamous carcinoma.Primary endpointThe primary endpoint is 2-year disease-free survival.Sample sizeAn estimated sample size of 240 is required to fulfill the study objectives.Estimated dates for completing accrual and presenting resultsAs of February 2020, 115 eligible patients from four institutions have been enrolled. Enrollment is expected to be completed by December 2022.Trial registration numberClinicalTrials. gov identifier: NCT02595554.

Objective In this meta-analysis, we aimed to evaluate the oncological outcomes of preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radical surgery compared with radical surgery alone for treatment of International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage I–II cervical cancer. Method We searched for studies comparing the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus surgery versus surgery alone in treatment outcomes of locally advanced cervical cancer. Meta-analysis was used to calculate the pooled odds ratios with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results Sixteen studies were included in our analysis. Pooled analysis of overall survival rate [odds ratio (OR) = 1.09, 95% CI: 0.83–1.43] and progression-free survival rate (OR = 1.10, 95% CI: 0.77–1.57) showed that preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy did not have a benefit compared with surgery alone in terms of survival rates. The pooled results for postoperative parameters indicated that preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radical surgery was associated with a high rate of vascular space involvement (OR = 0.25, 95% CI: 0.17–0.35) and parametrial infiltration (OR = 0.60, 95% CI: 0.45–0.79). Conclusions This meta-analysis indicated that surgery following neoadjuvant chemotherapy for FIGO stage I–II cervical cancer and surgery alone had similar oncological outcomes.

PURPOSE: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) and radical surgery (RS) have emerged as a possible alternative to conventional radiation therapy (RT) in locally advanced cervical carcinoma. In 1990, a phase III trial was undertaken to verify such a hypothesis in terms of survival and treatment-related morbidity. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with squamous cell, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage IB2 to III cervical cancer were eligible for the study. They received cisplatin-based NACT followed by RS (type III to V radical hysterectomy plus systematic pelvic lymphadenectomy) (arm A) or external-beam RT (45 to 50 Gy) followed by brachyradiotherapy (20 to 30 Gy) (arm B). RESULTS: Of 441 patients randomly assigned to NACT+RS or RT, eligibility was confirmed in 210 and 199 patients, respectively. Treatment was administered according to protocol in 76% of arm A patients and 72% of arm B patients. Adjuvant treatment was delivered in 48 operated patients (29%). There was no evidence for any significant excess of severe morbidity in one of the two arms. The 5-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 58.9% and 55.4% for arm A and 44.5% and 41.3% for arm B (P = .007 and P = .02), respectively. Subgroup survival analysis shows OS and PFS rates of 64.7% and 59.7% (stage IB2-IIB, NACT+RS), 46.4% and 46.7% (stage IB2-IIB, RT) (P = .005 andP = .02), 41.6% and 41.9% (stage III, NCAT+RS), 36.7% and 36.4% (stage III, RT) (P = .36 and P = .29), respectively. Treatment had a significant impact on OS and PFS. CONCLUSION: Although significant only for the stage IB2 to IIB group, a survival benefit seems to be associated with the NACT+RS compared with conventional RT.


Purpose: To compare the clinical outcomes between concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) and neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radical surgery ((NACT-RS) among patients with cervical cancer stage IB3 and IIA2. Methods: The study retrospectively reviewed patients with (2018 FIGO) stage IB3 and IIA2 cervical cancer. The patients received either preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy, followed by NACT-RS or CCRT. The outcome measures were the 5-year survival and complication rate between the two groups. Results: The median follow-up was 75 months. In total, 218 patients had stage IIA2, 136 patients had stage IB3, 201 patients received CCRT, and 153 patients received preoperative NACT-RS. In the CCRT group, the incidence of early complications (Myelosuppression, gastrointestinal and urinary) was higher compared with that in the NACT-RS group (76.1 vs. 26.1%, p <0.001; respectively). However, there was no significant difference between the two study groups concerning late complications. Five-year PFS was 79.9% and 85.5% in the NACT-RS and CCRT groups, respectively (p = 0.093). Five-year OS was 86.9% and 85.5% in the NACT-RS and CCRT groups, respectively (p = 0.97). In the multivariate clinicopathologic characteristics analysis for OS, initial tumor size >4.3 cm (HR, 5.11; p<0.001), AC/ASC (HR, 1.89; p = 0.02), histologic grade 2-3 (HR, 2.25; p = 0.04), and 2018 FIGO stage IIA2 (HR, 8.67; p<0.001) were independent risk factors. Conclusions: The survival of patients with stage IB3 and IIA2 cervical cancer treated with NACT-RS was similar to that of patients treated with CCRT without increasing side effects.
