<h4>Background</h4>This is an updated version of the original Cochrane review published in The Cochrane Library 2009, Issue 3. Most women with early cervical cancer (stages I to IIA) are cured with surgery or radiotherapy, or both. We performed this review originally because it was unclear whether cisplatin-based chemotherapy after surgery, radiotherapy or both, in women with early stage disease with risk factors for recurrence, was associated with additional survival benefits or risks.<h4>Objec ...[more]

Project description:We conducted a prospective study to assess the non-inferiority of adjuvant chemotherapy alone versus adjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) as an alternative strategy for patients with early-stage (FIGO 2009 stage IB-IIA) cervical cancer having risk factors after surgery. The condition was assessed in terms of prognosis, adverse effects, and quality of life. This randomized trial involved nine centers across China. Eligible patients were randomized to receive adjuvant chemotherapy or CCRT after surgery. The primary end-point was progression-free survival (PFS). From December 2012 to December 2014, 337 patients were subjected to randomization. Final analysis included 329 patients, including 165 in the adjuvant chemotherapy group and 164 in the adjuvant CCRT group. The median follow-up was 72.1 months. The three-year PFS rates were both 91.9%, and the five-year OS was 90.6% versus 90.0% in adjuvant chemotherapy and CCRT groups, respectively. No significant differences were observed in the PFS or OS between groups. The adjusted HR for PFS was 0.854 (95% confidence interval 0.415-1.757; P = 0.667) favoring adjuvant chemotherapy, excluding the predefined non-inferiority boundary of 1.9. The chemotherapy group showed a tendency toward good quality of life. In comparison with post-operative adjuvant CCRT, adjuvant chemotherapy treatment showed non-inferior efficacy in patients with early-stage cervical cancer having pathological risk factors. Adjuvant chemotherapy alone is a favorable alternative post-operative treatment.

Project description:Background and purposeAlthough cytotoxic platinum-based adjuvant chemotherapy (pACT) has been recommended for patients with completely resected early-stage (ES) non-small-cell lung cancer (ES-NSCLC), therapeutic regimens for NSCLC have evolved in the past two decades. The study was aimed to examine the effectiveness of postoperative pACT for resected ES-NSCLC patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) or adenocarcinoma (ADC) according to real-world data.Methods and patientsInverse probability treatment weighting (IPTW) was used to adjust baseline characteristics between the group receiving pACT and those not receiving any treatment (observation, OBS) within 3 months after curative surgery. Cox regression models were used to compare overall survival (OS) and treatment failure-free survival (TFS) between the groups.ResultsOf 31,208 patients with ES-NSCLC, 4700 undergoing complete tumor resection were eligible, with a mean follow-up period of 4.5 years. The pACT (n = 2347) and OBS (n = 2353) groups were well-balanced after IPTW. The median OS differed between the pACT and OBS groups (77.2 vs. 75.5 months, adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] = 0.87, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.79-0.95, p = 0.003), and the 5-year survival rates were 58.2% and 55.3%, respectively (p < 0.001). In the SCC group, pACT was superior to OBS in OS (75.0 vs. 57.4 months, aHR = 0.74, 95% CI = 0.62-0.88, p = 0.001) and TFS (32.7 vs. 21.8 months, aHR = 0.74, 95% CI = 0.63-0.86, p < 0.001). Both OS and TFS did not differ between two groups in those with ADC.ConclusionReal-world data indicated that pACT confers a survival benefit for resected ES-NSCLC patients with SCC but not ADC, which needs to be verified by a large sample of randomized controlled studies.

Project description:ObjectiveTo examine the effectiveness of systemic chemotherapy following radical hysterectomy for women with intermediate-risk stage IB cervical cancer.Materials and methodsThis is a retrospective analysis of a previously organized nation-wide cohort study examining 6,003 women with stage IB-IIB cervical cancer who underwent radical hysterectomy between 2004 and 2008 in Japan. Survival of 555 women with stage IB cervical cancer in the intermediate-risk group (deep stromal invasion > 50%, large tumor size > 4 cm, and lympho-vascular space invasion [LVSI]) were examined based on adjuvant therapy patterns: chemotherapy alone (n = 223, 40.2%), concurrent chemo-radiotherapy (n = 172, 31.0%), and radiotherapy alone (n = 160, 28.8%).ResultsThe most common intermediate-risk pattern was LVSI with deep stromal invasion (n = 216, 38.5%). The most common chemotherapeutic choice was taxane/platinum (52.2%). Women with adenocarcinoma/adenosquamous histology were more likely to receive chemotherapy (P = 0.03), and intermediate-risk pattern was not associated with chemotherapy use (P = 0.11). Women who received systemic chemotherapy had disease-free survival (5-year rate, 88.1% versus 90.2%, adjusted-hazard ratio (HR) 0.98, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.52-1.83, P = 0.94) and cause-specific survival (95.4% versus 94.8%, adjusted-HR 0.85, 95% CI 0.34-2.07, P = 0.71) similar to those who received concurrent chemo-radiotherapy on multivariable analysis. Similar results were seen among 329 women with multiple intermediate-risk factors (5-year rates for disease-free survival, chemotherapy versus concurrent chemo-radiotherapy, 87.1% versus 90.2%, P = 0.86; and cause-specific survival 94.6% versus 93.4%, P = 0.82). Cumulative local-recurrence (P = 0.77) and distant-recurrence (P = 0.94) risks were similar across the adjuvant therapy types.ConclusionsOur study suggests that systemic chemotherapy may be an alternative treatment choice for adjuvant therapy in intermediate-risk stage IB cervical cancer.

Project description:BackgroundOlder women with breast cancer are underrepresented in clinical trials, and data on the effects of adjuvant chemotherapy in such patients are scant. We tested for the noninferiority of capecitabine as compared with standard chemotherapy in women with breast cancer who were 65 years of age or older.MethodsWe randomly assigned patients with stage I, II, IIIA, or IIIB breast cancer to standard chemotherapy (either cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and fluorouracil or cyclophosphamide plus doxorubicin) or capecitabine. Endocrine therapy was recommended after chemotherapy in patients with hormone-receptor-positive tumors. A Bayesian statistical design was used with a range in sample size from 600 to 1800 patients. The primary end point was relapse-free survival.ResultsWhen the 600th patient was enrolled, the probability that, with longer follow-up, capecitabine therapy was highly likely to be inferior to standard chemotherapy met a prescribed level, and enrollment was discontinued. After an additional year of follow-up, the hazard ratio for disease recurrence or death in the capecitabine group was 2.09 (95% confidence interval, 1.38 to 3.17; P<0.001). Patients who were randomly assigned to capecitabine were twice as likely to have a relapse and almost twice as likely to die as patients who were randomly assigned to standard chemotherapy (P=0.02). At 3 years, the rate of relapse-free survival was 68% in the capecitabine group versus 85% in the standard-chemotherapy group, and the overall survival rate was 86% versus 91%. Two patients in the capecitabine group died of treatment-related complications; as compared with patients receiving capecitabine, twice as many patients receiving standard chemotherapy had moderate-to-severe toxic effects (64% vs. 33%).ConclusionsStandard adjuvant chemotherapy is superior to capecitabine in patients with early-stage breast cancer who are 65 years of age or older.

Project description:Platinum (Pt) derivatives such as cisplatin and carboplatin are the class of drugs with proven activity against triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). This is due to the ability of Pt compounds to interfere with the DNA repair mechanisms of the neoplastic cells. Taxanes have been efficacious against estrogen receptor-negative tumors and act by disruption of microtubule function. Due to their distinct mechanisms of action and routes of metabolism, the combination of the Pt agents and taxanes results in reduced systemic toxicity, which is ideal for treating TNBC. Also, the sensitivity of BRCA1-mutated cells to taxanes remains unsolved as in vitro evidence indicates resistance against taxanes due to BRCA1 mutations. Recent evidence suggests that the combination of carboplatin and paclitaxel resulted in better pathological complete response (pCR) in patients with TNBC, both in neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings. In vitro studies showed sequential dependency and optimal time scheduling of Pt- and taxane-based chemotherapy. Also, combining carboplatin with docetaxel in the NAC regimen yields an excellent pCR in patients with BRCA-associated and wild-type TNBC. TNBC is a therapeutic challenge that can be tackled by identifying new therapeutic sub-targets and specific cross-sections that can be benefitted from the addition of Pt- and taxane-based chemotherapy. This review summarizes the merits as well as the mechanism of Pt- and taxane-based adjuvant and neoadjuvant chemotherapies in early TNBC from the available and ongoing clinical studies.

Project description:In the last decades platinum-based neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) has been recognized as a reliable therapeutic strategy in patients with un-resectable advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). However, the molecular changes induced by NACT at miRNA level, and their prognostic role has not been clarified until now. In order to uncover miRNAs that are altered in EOC tumor which received NACT, we performed whole-miRNA analysis on 82 FIGO Stage IIIC-IV high-grade serous (HGS) tumors, whose samples had been collected at complete primary debulking (PDS) and at interval-debulking surgery (IDS) after fter 4 courses of NACT.

Project description:ObjectiveThis study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of different platinum adjuvant chemotherapy regimens for early-stage resected non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).DesignSystematic review with network meta-analysis of randomised trials.Data sourcesPubMed, EMBASE, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science and Scopus Google Scholar were searched through 12 March 2021.Eligibility criteriaEligible randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the postoperative platinum chemotherapy regimen with the observation-controlled group or comparing two platinum chemotherapy regimens head-to-head were included.Data extraction and synthesisThe primary outcome was the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy regimens including relapse-free survival (RFS), overall survival (OS), 2-year, 3-year, 5-year RFS rate and OS rate. The secondary outcome was the rate of grade 3-4 toxicity assessments. Cochrane Handbook (V.5) was used for the risk of bias assessment. Analyses were performed using R software V.4.3.1.Results20 RCTs with a sample size of 5483 were enrolled in meta-analysis. The chemotherapy group had a significant RFS and OS advantage compared with the observation group (HR 0.67; 95% CI 0.56 to 0.81, p<0.0001; HR 0.80; 95% CI, 0.73 to 0.88, p<0.0001, respectively). Compared with the observation arm, only the 'cisplatin_vinorelbine' regimen had a significant RFS and OS advantage (HR 0.63; 95% CI 0.43 to 0.87; HR 0.74; 95% CI 0.63 to 0.87, respectively) while the remaining chemotherapy regimens had no significant difference of efficacy compared with the observation group. In terms of the safety of adjuvant chemotherapy, the incidence of haematological toxicities and nausea/vomiting was not significantly higher in the 'cisplatin_vinorelbine' arm than in other chemotherapy group.ConclusionThis study summarised the adjuvant cytotoxicity chemotherapy regimens for patients with early-stage resected NSCLC. Our analysis may provide some guiding significance for the clinicians when determining the optimal chemotherapy regimen.

Project description:Surgery is regarded as the primary treatment modality for early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but even after complete resection, a substantial percentage of these patients eventually develop local recurrence or distant metastases. Therefore more effective treatment strategies to reduce lung cancer mortality and recurrence rate are needed. Only recently has the use of adjuvant chemotherapy become standard in early stage NSCLC, at least for stage II and resected IIIA NSCLC. Controversies remain about the benefit for stage I patients. Five-year survival improvements of 5% to 10% have been reported with cisplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy from multiple large randomized phase III clinical trials and meta-analyses. Questions remain as to which patients benefit and which regimens are best. In this paper, important clinical research in the field of adjuvant chemotherapy of NSCLC is reviewed.

Project description:ObjectiveTo evaluated the oncologic outcomes associated with platinum-based adjuvant chemotherapy following concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) in the management of patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC).MethodsA total of 695 patients with FIGO stage IB2, IIA2, IIB-IVA LACC treated at 6 medical facilities were enrolled and divided into 2 groups: 478 were assigned to CCRT alone (CCRT group) and 217 to adjuvant chemotherapy after CCRT (CCRT-ACT group). The treatment outcomes were retrospectively compared and reported after the propensity score matching (PSM) analysis.ResultsWith a median follow-up of 56.4 months, no statistically significant differences were found in overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), progression-free survival (PFS) and distance metastasis-free survival (DMFS) between 2 groups. In CCRT-ACT group, patients with lymph nodes involvement or squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) had significantly longer DMFS, but no significant benefit in survival outcomes were observed with more than 2 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy. Moreover, patients with a high level of CA125 (>20.5U/mL) or SCC-Ag (>22.8μg/L) had a relatively better DFS or PFS, and grade 3-4 acute hematological toxicity, late urinary and lower gastrointestinal complications and diarrhea symptom were more frequent in CCRT-ACT group.ConclusionsAdjuvant chemotherapy after CCRT has a potential role in further improving disease control for LACC patients with lymph nodal-metastasis or SCC with a high level of CA125 or SCC-Ag. Due to increased treatment-related complications and diarrhea symptom affecting the quality of life, post-CCRT adjuvant chemotherapy with excessive cycles was not be considered as the most appropriate choice in general.
