Accelerated Brachytherapy + Chemo Radiation
for Cervical Cancer
The standard treatment for locally advanced cervical cancer is well established as a combination of chemotherapy and radiation, typically over 25-28 daily fractions with the addition of a brachytherapy boost to the primary tumor. An important component to treatment efficacy is overall treatment time. Prolongation of overall treatment time has been shown to lead to worse local control and overall survival; thus, strategies to effectively deliver radiation efficiently is required. This is a pragmatic feasibility study to determine the impact of upfront brachytherapy combined with hypofractionated external beam radiation for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (FIGO 2018 stage IB3-IVA) on late gastrointestinal and genitourinary toxicity, oncologic outcomes including recurrence free survival, and systemic and local immune response.
