Adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery can improve clinical outcomes for patients with IB2-IIB cervical cancer with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radical surgery.

ABSTRACT: The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of postoperative treatments based on pathological response for cervical cancer patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) followed by radical surgery. Firstly, a total of 756 cervical squamous cell cancer (SCC) patients with FIGO IB2-IIB were included in this retrospective study. Then data from a prospective cohort of 393 patients was employed for further validation. Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were assessed. In the retrospective study, SCC patients who accepted adjuvant chemotherapy after radical surgery had a relatively better OS than those who received no therapy (P?=?0.08, HR?=?0.57). The result was more noticeable in the prospective cohort study (P?=?0.006, HR?=?0.28). In the combined analysis, adjuvant chemotherapy improved clinical outcomes compared with no therapy (P?=?0.002 and 0.04 for OS and DFS). Particularly for patients with extra-cervical residual disease, adjuvant chemotherapy improved OS (log-rank P?=?0.008, 0.004 and 0.001 in the retrospective, prospective and combined studies). Optimal response patients had good outcomes even without therapy. Our study indicates that adjuvant chemotherapy can benefit clinical outcomes for SCC patients with NACT followed by radical surgery, especially those with extra-cervical residual disease. For optimal response patients, there may be no need for further treatment. This finding needs to be validated in more future studies.

Project description:BackgroundThis study was to compare the efficacy and safety between neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radical surgery (NACT+RS) and radiotherapy only (RT) or concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) for treatment of patients with stage IB2, IIA, or IIB cervical cancer.MethodThe electronic databases of PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched to screen relevant studies from their inception to October 2018. Clinical data including overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and adverse events were extracted. Egger's test was used to evaluate the publication bias, and sensitivity analysis was conducted to estimate the robustness of results.ResultsFinally, three randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and two case-control studies consisting of 1,275 patients with stage IB2, IIA, or IIB cervical cancer were included in the current study. Overall, pooled results showed no significant differences in OS ((hazard ratio (HR) = 0.603, 95%CI = 0.350 - 1.038) and DFS (HR = 0.678, 95%CI = 0.242 - 1.904) for patients treated with NACT+RS compared with RT only or CCRT, but the subgroup analysis showed that the OS and DFS were significantly longer in the NACT+RS groups than the RT or CCRT group (OS: HR = 0.431, 95%CI = 0.238 - 0.781, p = 0.006; DFS: HR = 0.300, 95%CI = 0.187 - 0.482, p < 0.001) for the population with median follow-up time of more than 60 months. For adverse events, the incidence of thrombocytopenia in the NACT+RS group was significantly higher than that in the RT only or CCRT group (relative risk (RR) = 3.240, 95% CI 1.575-6.662), while the incidence of diarrhea was significantly lower than that in the RT only or CCRT group (RR = 0.452, 95% CI =0.230-0.890).ConclusionThese findings suggest that the short-term therapeutic effects of the two treatments may be possibly equal for patients with stage IB2-IIB cervical cancer, but the long-term effects for improving OS and DFS may be better using NACT+RS compared with the RT only or CCRT.

Project description:Background: The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) has been identified as a predictor of chemotherapy efficacy for a variety of cancers, and we aimed to determine its ability to predict the response to chemotherapy and its long-term prognosis for patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) who have underwent platinum-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). Methods: The date from 210 patients (133 in the training cohort and 77 in the validation cohort) with CSCC who received NACT were analyzed retrospectively. The association between SII and the pathological complete response (pCR) was determined using Pearson's chi-square test, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and Logistic regression analysis. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional regression model were used to assess the relationship between SII and progression-free survival (PFS) or overall survival (OS). Results: The calculated optimal SII cutoff values for pCR and survival were 568.7051 and 600.5683, respectively, and patients were divided into two groups: a low SII group (≤568.7051 or ≤600.5683) and a high SII group (>568.7051 or >600.5683). A high SII was associated significantly with a lower pCR. Further analysis determined that SII was a more efficient predictor of pCR than the prognostic nutritional index, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio. Upon multivariate logistic analysis, SII proved to be an independent risk factor to predict the pCR of patients with CSCC. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated that PFS and OS rates were significantly higher in the low-SII group compared with those in the high-SII group. Additional multivariate analysis indicated that the SII is an independent prognostic factor for patients with CSCC treated with NACT. Conclusion: The results confirmed that the pre-treatment SII is not only an independent predictor of pCR but also an independent prognostic factor of CSCC patients treated with platinum based NACT.
