Chemoradiation after chemotherapy for metastatic cervical cancer can provide chemo-free time

1

This study reviewed 38 patients with stage IVB cervical cancer treated with chemotherapy and evaluated for consolidative chemoradiation.
2

Eighty-four percent of patients had squamous cell histology, and all received platinum-based chemotherapy as first-line treatment.
3

Fifty-three percent of patients received consolidative chemoradiation, resulting in a median treatment-free interval of 13.7 months.
4

Overall survival for patients receiving consolidative chemoradiation was 26.7 months, compared to 14 months for those who progressed on first-line chemotherapy.
5

Factors associated with ineligibility for chemoradiation included prior prescription for pain medications and anticoagulation for venous thromboembolism.
