Gustavo Viani: A Game Changer in Cervical Cancer RT?

Gustavo Viani, Professor at the Faculty of Medicine of Botucatu, São Paulo State University (UNESP), shared on LinkedIn:

“Can 20 Fractions Compete? A Game Changer in Cervical Cancer RT?

The HYPOCx-iRex Phase II RCT investigated a 44 Gy/20F regimen vs standard 45 Gy/25F in LACC. Here’s what they found

Objective
Compare safety and efficacy of hypofractionated chemoradiation vs conventional RT.

Methods

  • n=40, open-label RCT
  • IMRT + IGABT + cisplatin
  • HYPO arm = 44Gy/20F
  • CVRT arm = 45Gy/25F

Results

  • OTT: ↓ 39 vs 47 days (P<0.001)
  • GI Gr≥3: HYPO 43% vs CVRT 32%
  • Para-aortic control at 24 mo: HYPO 100% vs 71% (P=0.003)
  • HRQoL ↓ during RT, recovered after

Conclusion

  • HYPO is feasible, efficient, and may enhance nodal control. Awaiting long-term data.”
