Brief Title: Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy and Radical Surgery in Stage IIB Cervical Cancer
Official Title: Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy and Radical Surgery Versus Concurrent Chemoirradiation in FIGO Stage IIB Cervical Cancer
Study ID: NCT02595554
Brief Summary: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) and radical surgery (RS) may have a possible better outcome to concurrent chemoirradiation (CCRT) in stage IIB cervical cancer. We try to verify such a hypothesis in terms of survival and treatment related morbidity.
Detailed Description: Patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IIB cervical cancer are eligible for our study. They will receive cisplatin based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) 3 cycles followed by radical surgery (RS) (type III to V radical hysterectomy plus systematic pelvic lymphadenectomy) (arm A) or external beam radiation (EBRT) with concurrent weekly platinum 40mg/m2 followed by brachyradiotherapy (arm B).
