Concurrent Chemotherapy/ Radiation Therapy National Cancer Institute Clinical Announcement, February 1999 “… five randomized phase III trials show an overall survival advantage for cisplatin-based therapy given concurrently with radiation therapy” “… strong consideration should be given to the incorporation of concurrent cisplatin-based chemotherapy with radiation therapy in women who require radiation therapy for treatment of cervical cancer”

Indications for Concurrent CT/RTProven Benefit 1. As post surgical adjuvant for IB/IIA node, parametrial, margin positive 2. As definitive treatment (without routine Sx) in Stage IB2 3. As definitive treatment for Stage IIB-IVA
Unproven or Questionable Benefit for Concurrent CT/RT • 1. Post surgical adjuvant for Stage IB with negative nodes but high risk features (size, depth, CLS) • 2. For para-aortic nodal involvement • In Stage IIB-IVA where RT delivery is optimized and hemoglobin levels maintained • For recurrent disease
Future Directions: • Optimize RT ! • Attempts to overcome anemia/hypoxia. Concurrent Chemo/Radiation in Ca Cervix
3. Determine if benefits of CT/RT accrue to only some subsets of patients: Define subgroups likely to have therapeutic gain by characteristics defined by, e.g. a. ‘conventional’ staging b. functional imaging (MRI, PET) c. molecular markers d. Gene assays e. DNA/Plat adduct assays f. Dynamic oxygenation status Chemo/Radiotherapy in Ca Cervix
4. Identify ‘better’ agents to pelvic control tailored to specific molecular characteristics: - Tirapazamine - Taxanes, Gemcitabene - antiangiogenics - exploit molecular targets that block proliferation /invasion or sensitize tumours (Cox-2) or target activated oncogenes(e.g.RAS) 5. Explore adjuvant as well as concurrent schedules to distant metastases. 6. Define existing acute and late toxicities and choose strategies to minimize them. Chemo/Radiotherapy in Ca Cervix
