Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Age 18 or more Cervical squamous cell carcinoma/adenocarcinoma / adenosquamous cell carcinoma Stage IIIC1r carcinoma cervix diagnosed by MRI pelvis and CECT thorax and abdomen or PET CT or proven pathologically. Highest pelvic node should be 1 cm below the aortic bifurcation. Can undergo concurrent chemoradiation with cisplatin based chemotherapy Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score 0-2 Women of childbearing age must have a pregnancy test (serum or urine) within 7 days before enrollment, and the result is negative, and they are willing to use appropriate contraceptive methods during the test

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients with paraaortic node involvement on CT scan (documented by imaging or pathology). Patients with inguinal node involvement confirmed by FNAC. Patients who need elective coverage of the inguinal region. Stage IVA or Stage IVB disease Uncontrolled severe infections Patients with synchronous malignancies who need treatment for another tumor. Patients with prior history of malignancy excluding cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia or basal cell carcinoma of the skin. Liver cirrhosis, decompensated liver disease, chronic renal insufficiency, and renal failure Presence of uncontrolled or severe comorbidities which preclude safe concurrent chemoradiation e.g Myocardial infarction, severe arrhythmia, and grade 2 or more congestive heart failure (NYHA classification). Prior history of renal transplantation Horseshoe kidney or single kidney History of severe allergic reaction to platinum-containing chemotherapy drugs Patients with accompanying diseases or other special circumstances that seriously endanger the safety of patients or affect the completion of the study

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the para-aortic nodal recurrence rate between the two armsTimepoint: 3 years

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the progression-free survival (PFS) between the two arms (Time point: 3 years) To compare the distant recurrence rate between the two arms. (Time point: 3 years) To compare the pelvic nodal recurrence rate between the two arms (Time point :3 years) To compare the local failure rate between the two arms (Time point : 3 years) To compare the cumulative incidence of acute and late toxicities between the two arms. Toxicity will be reported using CTCAE V.5.0. To compare the global quality of life, symptom experience, body image scale scores between the two arms at the end of external beam radiotherapy, and at 6 months, 1 year, 2 year and 3 years. EORTC QLQC30 and CX24 modules will be used for evaluating the QOL of patients. Timepoint: 3years
