Adjuvant chemotherapy after radiotherapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy for pelvic lymph node-positive patients with locally advanced cervical cancer: a propensity score matching analysis

Yidi Yuan et al.

Summary: This retrospective study of 159 patients with pelvic lymph node-positive cervical squamous cell carcinoma found that adjuvant chemotherapy significantly improved the 3-year distant metastasis-free survival. Further prospective studies are needed to confirm the therapeutic efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of adjuvant chemotherapy after chemoradiation for locally advanced cervical cancer

Nanda Horeweg et al.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the effect of adjuvant chemotherapy on overall survival and progression-free survival after chemoradiation. Eight eligible studies were included, and the results showed that adjuvant chemotherapy did not significantly improve both survival rates. However, there was evidence of publication bias in the analysis.

Effect of Adjuvant Chemotherapy in Stage III Cervical Cancer Patients Treated with Concurrent Chemoradiation: A Multicenter Study

Muhammed Mustafa Atci et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) after concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) in stage III cervical cancer (CC) patients. The results showed that AC increased the 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients receiving CCRT.

Role of adjuvant chemotherapy after concurrent chemoradiotherapy in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer

Lingna Kou et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) after concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). The results showed that ACT after CCRT did not provide significant survival benefits but induced adverse effects. Further large-scale randomized controlled trials are needed before recommending this regimen.

Neoadjuvant and Adjuvant Treatments Compared to Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy for Patients With Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer: A Bayesian Network Meta-Analysis

Yunfeng Qiao et al.

Summary: This study identified the most effective treatment mode for locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) through a network meta-analysis. The results showed that concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) and CCRT plus adjuvant chemotherapy (CT) are likely to be the most optimal treatments in terms of both overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) for LACC. Future studies should focus on comparing the efficacy of these two treatment modalities.

Summary: This study built radiomics-based prediction tools for overall survival (OS) in local advanced cervical cancer patients treated with different chemotherapy strategies, and constructed a decision aid for adjuvant chemotherapy.

Is There a Place for Adjuvant Chemotherapy in the Treatment of Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer?

Dora Cerina et al.

Summary: Previous studies have shown inconsistent results regarding the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) for locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) after concurrent chemoradiation (CCRT) therapy. The negative results of the OUTBACK trial on ACT in LACC provide some insights. However, further research is needed to determine the optimal position of ACT in the treatment of LACC.

Summary: Every year, the American Cancer Society projects the numbers of new cancer cases and deaths in the United States, with the latest data showing a significant decline in lung cancer mortality, while prostate cancer mortality has plateaued and breast and colorectal cancer mortality have slowed. Improvements in treatment have accelerated progress against lung cancer, leading to a record drop in overall cancer mortality.

Adjuvant Systemic Therapy after Chemoradiation and Brachytherapy for Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Nanda Horeweg et al.

Summary: The study summarized the impact of adjuvant chemotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer. The addition of platinum-pyrimidine antagonist or platinum-taxane did not significantly improve overall survival, but did increase toxicity. These adjuvant treatment strategies are not suitable for all patients.

Worldwide trends in cervical cancer incidence and mortality, with predictions for the next 15 years

Shujuan Lin et al.

Summary: Cervical cancer burden is correlated with socioeconomic development, with most countries showing stable or decreasing trends in incidence and mortality rates, especially in those with effective screening programs and HPV vaccination. Predicted trends for the next 15 years were consistent with observed trends among analyzed countries.

Comparison between curative concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by adjuvant chemotherapy and curative concurrent chemoradiotherapy alone in patients with locally advanced cervical carcinoma: a meta-analysis

Xiaofang Yang et al.

Summary: CCRT followed by ACT did not prolong OS and PFS, but showed advantages in reducing LFR and DM compared to CCRT alone. It increased acute toxicities without raising late toxicities. Further research on the efficacy of CCRT followed by ACT for LACC is needed.

A Multi-Institutional Retrospective Analysis of Oncologic Outcomes for Patients With Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer Undergoing Platinum-Based Adjuvant Chemotherapy After Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy

Ning Wu et al.

Summary: The study found that adjuvant chemotherapy after concurrent chemoradiotherapy may improve disease control in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer, especially those with lymph node metastasis, squamous cell carcinoma, and high levels of CA125 or SCC-Ag. Treatment-related complications and diarrhea symptoms may be increased with excessive cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy, impacting quality of life.
