Tumour size, volume, and marker expression during radiation therapy can predict survival of cervical cancer patients: A multi-institutional retrospective analysis of KROG 16-01
Gynecologic Oncology Dec 15, 2017
Lee JH, et al. - Researchers performed a multi-institutional study to assess the prognostic impact of tumour parameters, such as tumour size (TS), tumour volume (TV), and marker expression, on the survival of patients with cervical cancer receiving radiation therapy (RT). In this study, tumour parameters such as tumour volume reduction rate, squamous cell carcinoma antigen reduction rate, pre-RT TS, and mid-RT TV were recognized as the independent and strong prognostic parameters for these patients. This scoring system-based prognostic factor analysis might provide help to develop optimized treatment plans for cervical cancer patients during RT.
