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 Nov 06, 2017
HoonLee J, et al. - This multi-institutional study was performed to assess the prognostic impact of tumour parameters, such as tumour size (TS), tumour volume (TV), and marker expression, on survival during radiation therapy (RT) for cervical cancer patients. Findings revealed that tumour parameters such as tumour volume reduction rate, squamous cell carcinoma antigen reduction rate, pre-RT TS, and mid-RT TV were independent and strong prognostic parameters for these patients. They suggested the utility of this scoring system-based prognostic factor analysis in developing optimized treatment plans for cervical cancer patients during RT.
