A Study Of Moderately Hypo-Fractionated External-beam Radiotherapy With Concurrent Chemotherapy and High Dose Rate Brachytherapy In Cervical Cancer
Sponsor: Ain Shams University
Summary
Cancer of the uterine cervix is one of the most common gynecologic cancer diagnosis and cause of death among gynecologic cancers worldwide .The two major histologic types of cervical cancer are squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma and the preinvasive disease that corresponds with these histologies share many of the same risk factors . Cancer cervix can be treated definitively with concurrent chemoradiation (external beam radiotherapy and chemotherapy) followed by high dose rate brachytherapy. Treatment duration can be shortened by increasing the dose per fraction of treatment, which can improve survival rates, reduce the risk of treatment failure, reduce costs and patient exposure.

Interventions
moderate hypofractionation external beam radiotherapy
30 patients will receive external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) 40 Gy / 16 fractions with additional 6:10 Gy boost on positive pelvic L.Ns if found either sequential or simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) (according to patient tolerability) with IMRT or VMAT technique followed by High-dose rate (HDR) Brachytherapy 28 Gy /4 fractions 7 Gy per fraction over 2 weeks.Concurrent weekly cisplatin 40 mg/m2 will be received . -Concurrent weekly carboplatin AUC 2 will be received if cisplatin is not tolerated (creatinine clearance 40:60 ml/min) . HDR brachytherapy boost will be given 28 Gy/ 4 fractions 7 Gy per fraction over 2 weeks to be started within a week after the end of external beam radiotherapy sessions.
