Locally advanced cervical cancer has a dismal prognosis, with a high local failure rate and a poor survival rate. To improve the cure rate for advanced carcinoma of the cervix, we initiated a study of intra-arterial (I-A) chemotherapy with cisplatin via the uterine artery prior to definitive radiotherapy. I-A chemotherapy via the internal iliac artery has been used to treat advanced cervical cancer; however, access by way of the uterine artery has not been tested for this purpose. Thirty-four patients with central tumor > or = 5 cm in anteroposterior diameter observed on CT scans were treated with I-A chemotherapy. I-A chemotherapy consisted of unilateral catheterization of the uterine artery using 120 mg/m2 cisplatin. After assessment of I-A chemotherapy, all but 3 patients were treated with a combination of whole-pelvis external irradiation and intracavitary irradiation. The 3 patients underwent external radiotherapy alone. Twenty-seven of 34 patients treated were evaluable for response to I-A chemotherapy. Eleven patients (41%) experienced a partial response. Seventy-six percent of the 34 patients treated with I-A chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy exhibited a complete response by the end of treatment. Toxicity was well tolerated and no death due to treatment occurred. The 2- and 5-year actuarial survival rates were 64 and 55%, respectively. The crude incidences of pelvic recurrence and distant metastasis observed at a median follow-up of 54 months were both 47%. This study for locally advanced cervical cancer suggests there is benefit to be derived from our I-A chemotherapy followed by radical radiotherapy.

D002945 Cisplatin An inorganic and water-soluble platinum complex. After undergoing hydrolysis, it reacts with DNA to produce both intra and interstrand crosslinks. These crosslinks appear to impair replication and transcription of DNA. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin correlates with cellular arrest in the G2 phase of the cell cycle.
