Study summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficiency and safety of weekly Cisplatin /Liposome paclitaxel concurrent chemoradiothrapy in the treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer in elderly women.

Read the detailed description

Concurrent radiotherapy is the standard treatment of inoperable cervical cancer .Due to the physical conditions, elderly patients usually associated with medical complications, so generally just receive radiotherapy alone. Recently, some retrospective studies have shown that the impact of chemotherapy did not cause an increase in the complication rate among elderly patients as compared to younger patients with cervical cancer, and may improve the survival when concurrent with radiotherapy. Cisplatin and paclitaxel are two effective drug in treating cervical cancer, but whether they are safe enough for elderly when concurrent with radiotherapy, there are no clearly reports. In this study ,we replace the conventional dose chemotherapy with weekly cisplatin or lipsome paclitaxel , to compare the efficiency and safety of weekly cisplatin / liposome paclitaxel concurrent chemoradiotherapy and radiotherapy alone in the treatment of cervical cancer in elderly patients.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Objective Response Rate

    Objective Response Rate: Complete response (CR)+ Partial response (PR) rates base on RECIST evaluation system.

    Time frame: 1 month after the treatment completed

  2. Adverse Events

    Record the Number of participants with adverse events and the Grades of the AE according to CTCAE v3.0

    Time frame: Participants will be followed from the treatment begin to 1 month after the treatment end.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Local Control Rate

    Time frame: Participants will be followed every year for the duration of 5 years

  2. Tumor Free Survival Rate

    Time frame: From date of randomization until tumor recurrence or metastasis,assessed up to 5 years

  3. Overall Survival Rate

    Time frame: From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause,assessed up to 5 years
