Prediction of out-of-field recurrence after chemoradiotherapy for cervical cancer using a combination model of clinical parameters and magnetic resonance imaging radiomics: a multi-institutional study of the Japanese Radiation Oncology Study Group

Hitoshi Ikushima et al.

Summary: The study found that combining MRI radiomics with clinical parameters improves the accuracy of predicting out-of-field recurrence after chemoradiotherapy for cervical cancer. Para-aortic lymph node metastasis was identified as a significant prognostic factor impacting the outcome.

Positron Emission Tomography-Guided Bone Marrow-Sparing Radiation Therapy for Locoregionally Advanced Cervix Cancer: Final Results From the INTERTECC Phase II/III Trial

Casey W. Williamson et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of PET-BMS-IMRT on efficacy and toxicity for patients with locoregionally advanced cervical cancer. The results showed that PET-BMS-IMRT significantly reduced acute grade >= 3 neutropenia compared with standard IMRT, without affecting long-term outcomes. There was weak evidence of an association between pretreatment ALC and OS.

Dose-effect relationship between vaginal dose points and vaginal stenosis in cervical cancer: An EMBRACE-I sub-study

Henrike Westerveld et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the relationship between vaginal dose points and vaginal stenosis in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer. The results showed that higher doses to specific vaginal dose points were significantly associated with G >= 2 vaginal stenosis. Other risk factors included vaginal involvement, older age, shorter vaginal reference length, and the use of a specific applicator.

Large volume was associated with increased risk of acute non-hematologic adverse events in the hybrid of intracavitary and interstitial brachytherapy for locally advanced uterine cervical cancer: preliminary results of prospective phase I/II clinical trial

Naoya Murakami et al.

Summary: The feasibility and reproducibility of the hybrid of intracavitary and interstitial brachytherapy were demonstrated in a multi-center prospective clinical trial. High-risk clinical target volume >= 35 ml was associated with an increased risk of any grade of acute non-hematologic adverse events related to the hybrid of intracavitary and interstitial brachytherapy.

Human papillomavirus-independent cervical cancer

Andreina Fernandes et al.

Summary: This review provides an overview of HPV-independent cervical cancer, evaluating diagnostic techniques, molecular profiles, and clinical outcomes. HPV-independent tumors have distinct molecular characteristics, higher proliferative activity, and generally worse oncological outcomes.

TP53 mutants and non-HPV16/18 genotypes are poor prognostic factors for concurrent chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced cervical cancer

Ikumi Kuno et al.

Summary: In locally advanced cervical cancer, TP53 mutation, large tumor diameter, and non-HPV16/18 genotype were independently correlated with poor progression-free survival, despite receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy.

Why not de-intensification for uterine cervical cancer?

Naoya Murakami et al.

Summary: In the management of cervical cancer, low-risk patients can achieve favorable local control with de-escalated treatment intensity. Factors such as tumor reduction ratio, tumor size, and total treatment time can be used to identify these low-risk patients.

Pembrolizumab for Persistent, Recurrent, or Metastatic Cervical Cancer

N. Colombo et al.

Summary: Adding pembrolizumab to chemotherapy significantly improves progression-free and overall survival in patients with persistent, recurrent, or metastatic cervical cancer when compared to placebo. Anemia and neutropenia are the most common grade 3 to 5 adverse events.

HPV ctDNA detection of high-risk HPV types during chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced cervical cancer

L. Cabel et al.

Summary: The study designed HPV droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) assays for blood detection and monitored blood HPV circulating tumor DNA (HPV ctDNA) levels in patients with LACC undergoing CRT. Results showed successful detection of HPV ctDNA in 69% of patients before CRT, with a correlation between HPV-ctDNA levels and HPV copy number in tumors. Detection of HPV-ctDNA before CRT was associated with tumor stage and lymph node status, while positive detection during follow-up was linked to lower disease-free and overall survival rates.
