Purpose or Objective

Current FIGO and TMN staging in cervical cancer allow adequate staging but do not provide sufficient prognostic information. Findings based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) may provide prognostic information. Purpose: To investigate the application of a simple but comprehensive tumor score (T-score) in LACC.

Purpose or objective: To investigate the application of a simple but comprehensive tumor score (T-score) in locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC).

Material and Methods

Twenty-six patients diagnosed of LACC treated between Dec 2019 and Feb 2022 with chemoradiotherapy and image-guided adaptive brachytherapy (IGABT),
were analyzed. FIGO stage: IB 11.5%, IIA 11.5%, IIB 11.5%, IIIA 3.8% and IIIC 61.6%. The involvement of 8 anatomical locations (cervix, left parametrium, right parametrium, vagina, bladder, ureter, rectum and uterine body) was scored according to an ordinal scale from 0 to 3 points. The total sum of points constituted the T-score. Statistics: T-test, chi-square, Kaplan-Meier and log-Rank test.

Results

Median follow-up: 8.5 months (1-28). Median volume HRCV: 32,9cc (12-51.3), median D90: 91,30Gy (80-94.90) and median T-score: 4 (2-9). T-score >4 correlated with larger IGABT target volume (HRCTV) (35cc vs 32cc for T-score ≤4; p= 0.053), and the use of interstitials needles (61% vs 15% for T-score ≤4; p=0.041). Two-y overall survival was 76%. There were a non-significant trend toward worse 2-y distant metastasis-free survival and pelvic relapse-free survival for T-score >4 (60% vs 75%, p=0.1; and 75% vs 100%, p=0.07, respectively)



Conclusion

In this small single-center series T-score, has showed clinical utility as prognostic factor and can predict parameters for IGABT such as volume and interstitial needle application.
