Thus, to deliver a cumulative EQD2 ≥60 Gy to pathologic

nodes accounting a pelvic external beam radiation dose of

45 Gy in 25 fractions (44.3 in EQD2) and these estimations,

we propose nodal SIB of 2.2 Gy x 25 (55 Gy, 55.9 in EQD2)

in the obturator, external and internal iliac nodes, 2.3 Gy

x 25 (57.5 Gy, 58.9 in EQD2) in the common iliac nodes,

and 2.4 Gy x 25 (60 Gy, 62 Gy in EQD210) in the para-aortic

nodes (where the BT contribution can be considered as

negligible).

Conclusion

The contribution of brachytherapy to the treatment of

pelvic nodes is significant: around 5 Gy in the obturator,

internal iliac, and external iliac areas and 2.5 Gy in the

common iliac, allowing the use of simultaneous integrated

boost. However, important individual variations have

been observed and evaluation of the genuine individual

brachytherapy

contribution

is

recommended.

Purpose or Objective

Although brachytherapy (BT) is a mainstay of the

treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer, there are

only scarce data on its efficiency in cervical cancer with

bladder invasion. The aims were to report the treatment

outcomes in this particular situation, as well as

vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) incidence and its prognostic

factors.

Material and Methods

Consecutive patients with locally advanced cervical

cancer and bladder invasion treated in our institution from

1989 to 2015 were identified. Demographic and tumor

features, treatment characteristics, VVF rate,

progression-free survival (PFS), local control rate (LCR),

and overall survival (OS) were reviewed. Baseline

magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans reviews were

carried out blind to the clinical data with focus on

radiological parameters potentially correlated to the risk

of VVF (necrosis, tumor height of bladder involvement,

tumor volume). Times were calculated from the date of

diagnosis. Survival were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier

method and the Cox proportional hazards model.

Results

Seventy-one patients were identified. Bladder invasion

was diagnosed either on imaging in 59% or

endoscopically/histologically proven in 41%. All patients

received pelvic external beam radiotherapy (EBRT), 45 Gy

in 25 fractions ± nodal boost to macroscopically involved

lymph nodes. Nineteen of the 21 patients with para-aortic

nodal metastases received para-aortic EBRT. Concurrent

platinum-based chemotherapy (CT) was used in 76%,

neoadjuvant CT was used in 14%. After EBRT, 64 patients

(90%) received uterovaginal BT (low-dose rate in 48%,

pulsed-dose rate in 52%). Eight patients had VVF at

diagnosis. Among the 63 patients without VVF at diagnosis,

14 patients (22.2%) developed VVF later on: four before

(28.6%) and ten (71.4%) after BT (median time to onset:

3.5 months after the start of EBRT). Twelve of the 22

patients (54.5%) who presented VVF, either at diagnosis or

during follow-up, needed surgery (urinary or bowel

diversion ± pelvectomy). Estimated OS, PFS and LCR at 2

years were 57.3% (44.9-68.8), 45.0% (32.3-58.5) and 69.1%

(54.4-80.7) respectively. Presence of para-aortic nodal

metastases was significantly associated with poorer OS on

multivariate analysis (HR=4, p<0.001). Only the presence

of necrosis in the anterior part of the tumor on baseline

MRI was strongly associated with the risk of subsequent

VVF (57% vs O% at 1 year, HR=16.7, p=0.011 on a

multivariate analysis taking into account the tumor

volume). No correlation was found between bladder dose

and risk of VVF.

Conclusion

A curative intent strategy including BT as part of local

treatment is feasible in patients with bladder invasion,

with a rate of 22% of post-treatment VVF. MRI has a strong

predictive value of VVF occurrence. This result has to be

confirmed in an independent cohort. Prognosis remains

poor in regard to lower-staged lesions, with a high risk of

out-of-field failure. Intensification of systemic therapies

should be considered.
