Background and Objectives: In October 2018, the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) revised its classification of advanced stages of cervical cancer. The main points of the classification are as follows: stage IIIC is newly established; pelvic lymph node metastasis is stage IIIC1; and para-aortic lymph node metastasis is stage IIIC2. Currently, in Japan, radical hysterectomy is performed in advanced stages IA2 to IIB of FIGO2014, and concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) is recommended for patients with positive lymph nodes. However, the efficacy of CCRT is not always satisfactory. The aim of this study was to compare postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy (CT) and postoperative CCRT in stage IIIC1 patients. Materials and Methods: Of the 40 patients who had undergone a radical hysterectomy at Iwate Medical University between January 2011 and December 2016 and were pathologically diagnosed as having positive pelvic lymph nodes, 21 patients in the adjuvant CT group and 19 patients in the postoperative CCRT group were compared. Results: The 5 year survival rates were 77.9% in the CT group and 74.7% in the CCRT group, with no significant difference. There was no significant difference in overall survival or progression-free survival between the two groups. There was no significant difference between CT and CCRT in postoperative adjuvant therapy in the new classification IIIC1 stage. Conclusions: The results of the prospective Japanese Gynecologic Oncology Group (JGOG) 1082 study are pending, but the present results suggest that CT may be a treatment option in rural areas where radiotherapy facilities are limited.

6037 Background: GOG-0263 is currently investigating the role of adjuvant chemotherapy (CT) concurrently with radiotherapy (RT) in patients with early stage cervical cancer that underwent radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy harboring intermediate risk features. We used a retrospective database to investigate whether adjuvant chemotherapy significantly influenced overall survival (OS), and whether its effectiveness is influenced by delays in radiotherapy. Methods: All data was obtained from the NCDB (National Cancer Database) and initially contained 115,747 cases of cervical cancer diagnosed between 2004 and 2015. Analyzed patients had early stage disease, received radical hysterectomy with pathologic stage I to IIA, and had intermediate risk features including size greater than 4 cm or lymphovascular invasion. All patients received adjuvant RT with or without CT. Cases with positive margin or nodes, with parametrial extension, or metastasis were excluded. Cases were weighted by inverse probability of treatment (CT) using clinical and socioeconomic variables, and analyzed for OS using multivariate models. Predictors of receiving CT were determined using multivariate logistic regression. Results: The final cohort was 557 patients with median follow-up of 43 months (range, 1.54-143.7). Median survival without CT (n = 244) versus with CT (n = 313) was 42.2 versus 43.9 months (HR 0.81, 95%CI 0.661-0.995, p = 0.045). Median time from diagnosis to RT was 91 days (range, 21-691), and predicted for inferior OS (p = 0.007). No significant interaction existed between RT delay and receipt of CT (p = 0.997). Cases with squamous histology were less likely to receive CT than adenocarcinoma histology (OR 0.345, 95%CI 0.159-0.725, p = 0.006). Conclusions: Poor survival outcomes are observed in patients with early stage cervical cancer harboring intermediate risk features when adjuvant radiotherapy is delayed. This outcome was not corrected by addition of chemotherapy.

e17024 Background: A multicenter phase II trial was conducted to assess the efficacy and toxicity of paclitaxel and nedaplatin as the initial postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for high-risk uterine cervical cancer. Methods: The patients with FIGO stages IB1-IIA2 squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix were enrolled. Histologic confirmation of lymph node metastasis was mandatory. Intravenous paclitaxel 175 mg/m(2) over 3hours and nedaplatin 80 mg/m(2) over 1 hour were administered on day 1 of a every 28 day cycle, of which there were 5 cycles after radical hysterectomy. Results: 62 patients were enrolled into the study protocol from November 2011 to July 2015. The median age of patients was 48.5 years (range; 28-64). Median tumor diameter was 37 mm (0-34). 10 patients (16.1%) had parametrial invasion, 44 (71.0%) had deep stromal invasion, and 53 (85.5%) had lymph-vascular invasion. 30 patients (48.4%) had one metastatic lymph node, 11 (17.7%) had two, 3 (4.8%) had three, 5 (8.1%) had four and 13 (21.0%) had five or more. With a median follow-up of 36.9 months (range: 17.2-61.5), the 2-year progression-free survival rate and pelvic disease progression-free rate were 78.9% (95% CI, 68.5% to 89.3%) and 85.0% (95% CI, 75.8% to 94.3%), respectively. The 2-year overall survival rate was 93.3% (95% CI, 86.8% to 99.8%). Adverse events were almost acceptable. Grade 3-4 adverse events (NCI-CTC ver4.0) that occurred in 5% or more patients were neutropenia (60.7%) and infection (6.6%). The proportion of patients who completed 5 cycles of treatment was 90.3%. Conclusions: Adjuvant chemotherapy with paclitaxel and nedaplatin for patients with high-risk cervical cancer after radical hysterectomy was demonstrated to be an effective and feasible treatment. Phase III trial should compare this with concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Clinical trial information: 000005605.
