[Efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy in metastasizing cervix carcinoma. A pilot study].
There are reported preliminary results of a pilot-study in the postoperative adjuvant treatment of cervical carcinoma with involvement of the iliac lymph nodes. It was done a prospective randomized study. There were 3 groups of treatment: adjuvant chemotherapy with a combination of Cisplatin and 5-Fluorouracil over 6 cycles; adjuvant chemotherapy like in the first group over 3 cycles plus Telecobalt-irradiation till the doses of 50 Gy in the small pelvis; and postoperative irradiation with Telecobalt till the doses of 50 Gy in the small pelvis. The fate of 41 patients could be evaluated. There were no statistical differences between the 3 groups in age, histology, staging and follow-up. Also the survival rate and the rate of the disease-free time didn't show a significant difference, but it seems, that the chemotherapy with Cisplatin and 5-Fluorouracil could be able to improve the poor prognosis of the cervical carcinoma with metastases.
