Objectives
I. Determine whether weekly cisplatin improves locoregional control and survival when added to a regimen of radiotherapy and adjuvant extrafascial hysterectomy in patients with bulky Stage IB carcinoma of the cervix. II. Determine the relative toxicities of radiotherapy plus cisplatin vs. radiotherapy alone in these patients.
Entry Criteria
Disease Characteristics:
Histologically confirmed, previously untreated, Stage IB carcinoma of the cervix of one of the following histologies: Squamous cell carcinoma Adenocarcinoma Adenosquamous carcinoma Bulky disease required, i.e., at least 4 cm or barrel shaped Pelvic and para-aortic lymph nodes must be radiographically or surgically negative Positive or suspicious lesions on CT scan or lymphangiogram require negative fine-needle aspiration cytology or histologic confirmation of negative nodes Entry within 8 weeks of diagnosis required
Prior/Concurrent Therapy:
Biologic therapy: Not specified Chemotherapy: No prior systemic chemotherapy Endocrine therapy: Not specified Radiotherapy: No prior pelvic irradiation Surgery: No prior partial or total hysterectomy
Patient Characteristics:
Age: Any age Performance status: GOG 0-3 Hematopoietic: WBC at least 3,000 Platelets at least 100,000 Hepatic: Bilirubin no greater than 1.5 x normal SGOT no greater than 3 x normal Renal: Creatinine no greater than 2.0 mg/dl Other: Able to undergo surgery and complete therapy and follow-up No prior or concomitant second malignancy except nonmelanomatous skin cancer
Expected Enrollment
317 patients will be entered at an estimated accrual rate of 55 patients/year.
Outline
Randomized study. Arm I: Radiotherapy followed by Surgery. External beam irradiation using x-rays with a minimum energy of 4 MeV plus intracavitary irradiation using Cesium, Ce; followed by extrafascial hysterectomy. Arm II: Radiotherapy plus Radiosensitization/Chemotherapy followed by Surgery. External beam plus intracavitary irradiation as in Arm I; plus Cisplatin, CDDP, NSC-119875; followed by extrafascial hysterectomy.Published Results

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
