ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

This study was to evaluate the treatment outcomes and prognostic factors of patients treated with salvage radiotherapy for the treatment of isolated lymph node recurrence of cervical cancer.

METHODS:

Between 1990 and 2009, 22 cervical cancer patients with lymph node recurrence who had previously undergone radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection were treated with salvage radiotherapy with (n=18) or without (n=4) chemotherapy. Of the 22 patients, 10 had supraclavicular lymph node recurrence, 9 had para-aortic lymph node, and 3 had inguinal lymph node. The median total radiotherapy dose was 60 Gy (range, 40 to 70 Gy). Initial pathologic findings, latent period to lymph node recurrence and other clinical parameters such as squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag) level and concurrent chemotherapy were identified as prognostic factors for survival.

RESULTS:

The median follow-up period after salvage radiotherapy was 31.2 months (range, 12.1 to 148.9 months). The 5-year progression-free and overall survival rates of all patients were 32.7% and 30.7%, respectively. Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (p=0.009) and longer latent period to lymph node recurrence (>18 months vs. 8 ng/dL vs. < or =8 ng/dL, p=0.008) and longer latent period to lymph node recurrence (p=0.040) for overall survival. Treatment failure after salvage radiotherapy occurred in 14 (63.6%) for the 22 patients (in field, 2; out of field, 10; both in and out field, 2). Grade 3 acute skin (n=2) and hematologic toxicity (n=1) developed in 3 patients.

CONCLUSION:

For isolated lymph node recurrence of cervical cancer, salvage radiotherapy with concurrent chemotherapy should be considered, especially in patients with a long-term progression-free period.
