Current principles for radiotherapy in cervical cancer

Abstract: Cancer of the uterine cervix is most common in countries that do not have access to cervical cancer screening and prevention programs. Treatment of cervical cancer varies significantly between countries (adjusted to stage) and is dependent on medical resources. Radiotherapy for the treatment of gynecological malignancy has been used with different techniques for treating the local tumor and regional lymph nodes. This review discusses recommendations of radiotherapy for cervical cancer according to stage.

“…External beam radiotherapy (RT) with or without concomitant chemotherapy, followed by an intracavitary brachytherapy, can be considered as a standard treatment protocol for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer. [1][2][3][4] To reduce radiationinduced complications, it is recommended that patients be treated with comfortably full bladders. [5][6][7] To this end, various bladder preparation protocols are used, aiming to produce a consistent and reproducible bladder volume (BV).…”

“…o escore Fact-cx no pré-tratamento variou de 66,0 a 149,8 com média de 110,9. na última semana, o escore variou de 65,2 a 151,0 com média de 110,8, não havendo diferença estatisticamente significativa entre as médias prétratamento e na última semana (p=0,966). ao analisar os domínios do Fact-cx de forma isolada, observou-se que os domínios bem-estar funcional e preocupações foram os que apresentaram menores médias de escores tanto na entrevista pré-tratamento ( (20,6) Muito/ muitíssimo 7 (20,5) 7 (20,6) com o presente estudo. no entanto, mesmo considerando o caráter exploratório, esses resultados sugerem que o tratamento não exerceu efeito negativo na QVrs.…”

“…complicações tardias como sangramento, estenose e ulcerações retais, além de encurtamento e estreitamento da vagina, são mais raras e ocorrem geralmente nos três primeiros anos após o tratamento 4 . embora já tenham sido estabelecidos os benefícios na sobrevida e no controle local proporcionados pela radioterapia, os efeitos adversos, agudos ou tardios parecem impactar de forma negativa na qualidade de vida das pacientes, principalmente no que diz respeito à função sexual [6][7][8] .…”

“…Although radiotherapy for cervical cancer has been widely used, the emergence of radioresistance has deeply affected its treatment effect ( Kaidar-Person et al, 2012 ; Han et al, 2021 ). Consequently, overcoming the radiotherapy resistance of cervical cancer and finding related accurate biomarkers are essential and urgently needed.…”
