ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the efficacy and side effect of paclitaxel liposome for neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in locally advanced cervical cancer. Methods This study were included 265 cervical cancer patients staging Ⅰb2 and Ⅱa2 who underwent paclitaxel-platinum NACT followed by radical surgery from June 2008 to December 2016 in the Cancer Hospital , Peking Union Medical College, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. All patients were classified into two groups with 106 patients in paclitaxel liposome group and 159 patients in traditional paclitaxel group. The difference in clinicopathologic characteristics, efficacy and side effect were analyzed retrospectively between the two groups.Results (1)Clinicopathologic characteristics: there were no significant difference in clinicopathologic characteristics between the two groups, including age, body mass index, clinical stage, pathological histology, cycles of NACT, combined platinum regimen, lymph-vascular space invasion, lymph node metastasis, deep stromal invasion, and postoperative adjuvant therapy (all P>0.05). (2) Efficacy: after NACT, the overall response occurred in 90 (15 complete response plus 75 partial response) of 106 cases in the paclitaxel liposome group versus 131 (21 complete response plus 110 partial response) of 159 cases in the traditional paclitaxel group without statistical significance (84.9% vs 82.4%; χ2=0.291, P=0.590). A total of 248 patients received surgery after NACT and were evaluable in survival. The 5-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) rate and 5-year overall survival (OS) rate of these patients was 85.1% and 88.2%. The 5-year RFS rate in the paclitaxel liposome group was 85.9% compared with 85.2% in the traditional paclitaxel group, while the corresponding 5-year OS rate was 88.5% and 88.7%, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in efficacy between the two groups (P=0.968, P=0.797). (3) Side effect: the incidence of allergic reaction between the paclitaxel liposome group and the traditional paclitaxel group was 0 versus 1.9% (3/159) without statistical significance (P=0.277). But the incidence of neurotoxicity in the paclitaxel liposome group significantly decreased compared with the traditional paclitaxel group (6.6% vs 15.7%, P<0.05), as well as the incidence of alopecia (67.9% vs 79.2%, P<0.05) and myalgia (17.9% vs 28.9%, P<0.05). However, significant differences were not found in terms of hematological toxicity, gastrointestinal reaction, and hepatic function damage (P>0.05). Conclusion In paclitaxel-platinum NACT of local advanced cervical cancer, paclitaxel liposome can achieve similar efficacy compared with traditional paclitaxel, but paclitaxel liposome is helpful in decreasing the toxicity of neurotoxicity, alopecia and myalgia.
