Comparative assessment of late toxicity in patients of carcinoma cervix treated by radiotherapy versus chemo-radiotherapy – Minimum 5 years follow up

A randomised trial was carried out comparing chemo-radiation (CTRT) vs. radiotherapy (RT) in patients of carcinoma cervix and showed similar rates of pelvic disease control, disease free survival and overall survival. Late toxicity is presented. Between December 2000 and July 2006, 180 patients of carcinoma cervix were randomly assigned to RT + weekly cisplatin (n = 94) or RT alone (n = 86). Late toxicity was prospectively scored using RTOG...
