Summary

The main goal of this trial is to assess the safety and response rate to concomitant chemotherapy and external hypofractionated radiotherapy followed by brachytherapy in patients with clinical stage III cervical cancer. The trial will take place in the National Cancer Institute (INCan). Patients will be randomized into two groups: chemotherapy with external standard fractionated radiotherapy (45 Gy in 25 fractions) followed by brachytherapy or chemotherapy with external hypofractionated radiotherapy (37.5 Gy in 15 fractions) followed by brachytherapy.

Conditions

Interventions

RADIATION

Hypofractionated therapy

All patients will be treated with an external beam of 37.5 Gray in 15 fractions (2.5 Gray / fraction). They will be treated once a day, 5 days a week. If photon energy 6 MV or 10 MV is used, the patient should be treated with a 4-field technique using the anterior/posterior field and 2 lateral fields. The specification of the dose is in terms of a dose to a point at or near the center of the target volume. For all field dispositions, the dose specification point is the common isocenter of all beams.

RADIATION

Standard therapy

All patients will be treated with external beam radiotherapy with 50 Gray in 25 fractions (1.8-2 Gray / fraction). They will be treated once a day, 5 days a week. If photon energy 6 MV or 10 MV is used, the patient should be treated with a 4-field technique using anterior/posterior fields and 2 lateral fields. The specification of the dose is in terms of a dose to a point at or near the center of the target volume. For all field dispositions, the dose specification point is the common isocenter of all beams.
