Treatment Interruption During Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy of Uterine Cervical Cancer; Analysis of Factors and Outcomes

Abstract: Background: To evaluate factors which effect treatment interruption during concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) and overall survival in patients with uterine cervical cancer stage IB2-IVA in Srinagarind Hospital. Materials and Methods: Between January 2006 and December 2007, 107 patients with stage IB2-IVA as FIGO staging, 2000, were treated with CCRT in Srinagarind Hospital. Factors which caused treatment interruptions and impacted on overall survival were reviewed and analyzed. Results: Twenty of 107 patients… Show more

“…According to the literature, 70-92% of the patients receive the planned number; in the present study 5 courses of DDP were received by 65.7% of the patients, which can be crucial for the efficiency of the treatment, since receiving fewer than 5 chemotherapy courses is related with a worse prognosis for the patients. [33][34][35][36] According to the literature the age and undergone surgery do not influence the planned course of radiochemotherapy. 34,35 Similarly, in our own research the surgery and age did not influence the interval in radiotherapy, although the age influenced the number of chemotherapy courses.…”
