Phase II study of a new multidisciplinary therapy using once every 3 week carboplatin plus dose-dense weekly paclitaxel before and after radical hysterectomy for locally advanced cervical cancer.

Abstract：

BACKGROUND:We proposed a novel treatment strategy, consisting of triweekly cisplatin plus dose-dense weekly paclitaxel before and after radical hysterectomy without adjuvant radiation therapy to treat locally advanced cervical cancer. However, cisplatin-related severe non-hematologic toxicities were frequent during this strategy. This study aimed to assess the applicability of replacing cisplatin with carboplatin in our proposed strategy. METHODS:Women with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) 2008 stage IB2, IIA2, or IIB cervical cancer received three cycles of carboplatin (based on an area under the curve of six), each 21 days apart, starting on day 1, and 80 mg/m2 of paclitaxel on days 1, 8, and 15 of each 21-day cycle before undergoing radical hysterectomy. Patients with one or more high-risk factors, including lymph vascular invasion, parametrial invasion, lymph-node metastasis, or positive margins, received three additional cycles of chemotherapy after hysterectomy. Concurrent chemoradiation therapy was only applied to those patients who failed to respond to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. RESULTS:Between September 2014 and July 2016, 50 women (13 women with FIGO stage IB2, 5 with stage IIA2, and 32 with stage IIB) were enrolled in this study. The overall response rate to chemotherapy was 92%, including 22% with pathological complete response. Forty-nine women (98%) completed the planned radical hysterectomy, and 11 (22%) women with one or more high-risk factors received three additional cycles of chemotherapy. Only four women (8%) received concurrent chemoradiation therapy after surgery. The 2- and 3-year progression-free survival rates were 88.0% and 83.8%, respectively, and the 2- and 3-year overall survival rates were 98.0% and 95.4%, respectively. Only two patients reported grade 3 or higher non-hematologic toxicities including grade 3 nausea in one patient and grade 3 liver dysfunction in one patient. CONCLUSIONS:Replacement the platinum agent resulted in equivalent efficacy, with reduced toxicity, in women with locally advanced cervical cancer. This strategy could considerably diminish the application of radiation therapy without reduced survival. A study to identify those patients who will benefit from this new multidisciplinary strategy is warranted.
