Survival, treatment pattern, and treatment outcome in patients with cervical cancer metastatic to distant lymph nodes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cervical cancer with nodal involvement beyond the pelvis was considered as distant nodal metastasis in the previous International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics staging system. With the improvement of cancer-directed therapies, some of these patients can receive curative treatment. Classifying them as distant metastasis may result in underestimation of their prognosis as well as undertreatment. However, limited research has been conducted on the survival and treatment pattern in distant lymphatic metastatic cervical cancer.

Objective

To investigate the survival, treatment pattern, and treatment outcome of patients with cervical cancer metastasized to distant lymph nodes (DLN) beyond the pelvis.

Methods

Patients with stage III-IV cervical cancer fro
