Trial Title:
Effects of Chemotherapy on Circulating Tumor Cells and Recurrences in Cervical Cancer Patients

Time perspective:
Prospective
Summary:
Cervical cancer is a major health problem for Chinese women. It is estimated that nearly
100,000 new cervical cancer cases occur in China every year, which accounts for about 20
percent of global new cases. Surgery and radiotherapy are two major radical treatment
methods for IB-IIB cervical cancer. Unlike the United States and some other countries,
most of operable women with IB-IIB cervical cancer received radical surgery other than
radiotherapy in China. Patients with recurrence risk factors (lymph node metastasis, deep
stromal invasion, positive lymphatic vascular space, et al. ) also received adjuvant
therapy after surgery, such as radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy that are recommended in
the NCCN guidelines. However, in China a substantial part of patients especially those
admitted to tertiary hospitals received several courses of chemotherapy instead of
radiotherapy if they had recurrence risk factors .
In our previous study, we found that patients with intermediate risk factors (deep
stromal invasion, positive lymphatic vascular space, bulky tumor>4cm) had better
disease-free survival and recurrence-free survival when they received chemotherapy
compared with radiotherapy. The objective in this study is to investigate whether the
advantage of postoperative chemotherapy is a result of circulating tumor cells (CTC) in
some of the patients with intermediate risk factors.
