Abstract

To evaluate preliminary results in terms of toxicity, local tumour control, and survival after preoperative concomitant chemoradiation for operable bulky cervical carcinomas. Between December 1991 and October 2001, 42 patients (pts) with bulky cervical carcinomas stage IB2 (11 pts), IIA (15 pts), and IIB (16 pts) with 1/3 proximal parametrial invasion. Median age was 45 years (range: 24-75 years) and clinical median cervical tumour size was 5 cm (range: 4.1-8 cm). A clinical pelvic lymph node involvement has been observed in 10 pts. All patients underwent preoperative external beam pelvic radiation therapy (EBPRT) and concomitant chemotherapy during the first and the fourth radiation weeks combining 5-fluorouracil and cisplatin. The pelvic dose was 40.50 Gy over 4.5 weeks. EBPRT was followed by low-dose-rate uterovaginal brachytherapy with a total dose of 20 Gy in 17 pts. After a rest period of 5-6 weeks, all pts underwent class II modified radical hysterectomy with bilateral lymphadenectomy. Para-aortic lymphadenectomy was performed in eight pts without pathologic para-aortic lymph node involvement. Twenty-one of 25 pts who had not received preoperative uterovaginal brachytherapy underwent postoperative low-dose-rate vaginal b...Continue Reading
