Abstract:
Abstract: Objective To investigate the clinical outcome in advanced cervical cancer patients treated with CT-guided three-dimensional intracavitary brachytherapy combined with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and cisplatin chemotherapy. Methods Among 97 advanced cervical cancer patients selected for retrospective analysis, 55 patients received CT-guided three-dimensional intracavity brachytherapy combined with IMRT and cisplatin chemotherapy (observation group), and the other 42 patients were treated with two-dimensional intracavitary brachytherapy combined with IMRT and cisplatin chemotherapy (control group). The treatment outcome, radiation damage to organs-at-risk, and 3-year prognostic outcomes were compared between two groups. Results After radiochemotherapy, the proportion of CR+PR patients in observation group was 98.18%, higher than 88.10% in control group (P<0.05). The average radiation dose and 2.0 cm3 radiation dose to the small intestine, bladder and rectum were significantly lower in observation group than in control group (P<0.05), and the incidences of myelosuppression, radiation proctitis and radiation cystitis in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group (P<0.05). After 3 years of follow-up, the survival rate in observation group was close to that of control group (P>0.05), but the 3-year median survival time in observation group was longer than that in control group (P<0.05). Conclusion CT-guided three-dimensional intracavity brachytherapy combined with IMRT and cisplatin chemotherapy is more effective than two-dimensional intracavity brachytherapy combined with IMRT and cisplatin chemotherapy, with less radiation damage to organs-at-risk and longer survival time.
