NCT00895349

Brief Summary

The purpose of this trial is to improve the clinical management and outcome of patients with locally advanced cervical cancer by using positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) imaging. There is considerable debate worldwide regarding the utility of PET for staging cervical cancer. Although there are studies on the accuracy (sensitivity and specificity) of PET in cervical cancer, there are currently no prospective randomized studies on how PET information affects treatment decisions and outcomes.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

    2 years

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Event free survival (EFS) of all patients.

    5 years

  • Overall Survival (OS) of all patients.

    5 years

  • Economic and Quality of Life analyses of all patients.

    2 years

  • Standardized Uptake Value (SUV) in predicting the EFS and OS of all patients.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexfemale
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Women with newly diagnosed histologically confirmed FIGO Stage IB-IVA carcinoma of the cervix, including squamous, adenosquamous or adenocarcinoma. Women not suitable for surgery due to comorbidities (medical or other conditions) are also considered eligible.
  • Age equal to or greater than 18 years
  • Being considered for treatment with curative intent using concurrent chemotherapy and pelvic RT.

You may not qualify if:

  • ECOG performance status greater than 2.
  • Other cervical cancer tumour types (e.g. neuroendocrine, serous).
  • Carcinoma of the cervical stump.
  • Prior hysterectomy.
  • Patients who, at the time of the initial evaluation, have already undergone a whole body PET-CT within the last 6 months.
  • Contraindications to 18FDG PET-CT or CT of the abdomen and pelvis.
  • Inability to lie supine for imaging with PET-CT.
  • Contraindication to radiotherapy (i.e., significant Crohn's disease).
  • Contraindication to cisplatin chemotherapy (i.e., non-reversible renal failure).
  • Inadequate bone marrow function: ANC less than 1.5 X 10\^9, platelets less than 100 X 10\^9.
  • Inadequate renal function: Creatinine greater/equal to 150 micromol/L
  • Inadequate hepatic function: Bilirubin greater than 1.5 X ULN and SGOT and Alkaline Phosphatase greater than 3 X ULN.
  • History of another invasive malignancy within the previous 5 years with the exception of non-melanoma skin cancer.
  • Other medical conditions that may preclude chemo-radiation therapy.
  • Known pregnancy or lactating.
  • +1 more criteria
