Brief Summary

Cisplatin-based chemoradiation (CCRT) has been considered as the standard care for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC). Nevertheless, increasingly more radio-resistant tumors still recur. IMRT including Rapid-Arc have obvious advantage in the dose distribution and organ protection, and positron emission tomography (PET) with F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and Comet analysis have good sensitivity for detecting sites and radiosensitivity of disease. These may be helpful to individualized CCRT of LACC. Three hundred LACC patients are enrolled in the study, who were with FIGO stages IB2-IVA and had no para-aortic lymphadenopathy (\>10 mm) assessed by PET-CT or MRI. All the patients received definitive radiotherapy consisting of external beam whole pelvic RT and HDR-ICBT. The cumulative linear quadratic equivalent dose (EQD2) was 70-75Gy prescribed at point A. Cisplatin 30 mg/m2 weekly was administered concurrently for 5 courses. 2-4 cycles TP (Taxol 135 mg/m2, D1 and DDP 25 mg/m2, D1-3) regimen sequential chemotherapy were performed if complete response (CR) not achieved according to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or PET-CT after CCRT. Hypothesis of the study is that CCRT and sequential chemotherapy is safe. Based on FDG-PET/CT and Comet assay, higher doses can be safely delivered individually to accurate tumor volume, while the doses to bladder and rectum are relative low. Comet and FDG-PET/CT-guided IMRT including RapidArc may improve survival in terms of time to progression (TTP), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) and less treatment-related toxicity. The data will be observed and analyzed.

PET/CT and Comet assay guided IMRT

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

18F-FDG PET/CT and Comet assay guide IMRT Based on FDG-PET/CT and comet analysis, higher doses of irradiation can be delivered to low sensitivity tumor region, so as to achieve individualized treatment.

Biological: 18F-FDG PET/CT and Comet assay guide IMRT

PET/CT and Comet assay guided RapidArc

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

18F-FDG PET/CT and Comet assay guide RapidArc: 1.A Rapid-Arc plan for cancer of the cervix uteri improved the sparing of organs at risk (OARs) with uncompromised target coverage. 2.Based on FDG-PET/CT and comet analysis, higher doses of irradiation can be delivered to low sensitivity tumor region, so as to achieve individualized treatment.

Biological: 18F-FDG PET/CT and Comet assay guide RapidArc

RapidArc

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

RapidArc: A maximum DR of 600 MU/min was set for comparing the 7f-IMRT treatment time. Two 360° coplanar arcs (one clockwise arc rotated from 181° to 179° and the other counter-clockwise arc rotated from 179° to 181°) sharing the same isocentre were used.

Biological: RapidArc

7f-IMRT

SHAM COMPARATOR

seventy-five patients received IMRT. The 7f-IMRT gantry angles were 0°, 51°, 102°, 153°, 204°, 255° and 306°, with 20 intensity levels and a dose rate of 400 monitor units (MU)/min. Doses were delivered using the step-and-shoot method.Conventional fractionation was used in all patients for a total dose 45-50.4 Gy with 6 MV high-energy photons.
