2. Lymph node status in cervical cancer
● Previously FIGO Staging was essentially clinical.
● Lymph node status did not contribute to FIGO stage BUT impact survival
Stage 5 year survival
IB/IIA 95 vs 78% (Kim SM IJGC 2000).
● Surgical para-aortic nodal involvement increases with stage from about 5% in
patients with stage I disease to 25% in those with stage III disease
3. Adding notation of r (imaging) and p (pathology) to indicate the findings that are used to allocate the case
to Stage IIIC.
IIIC Involvement of pelvic and/or para‐aortic lymph nodes,
irrespective of tumor size and extent (with r and p notations)c
IIIC1 Pelvic lymph node metastasis only
IIIC2 Para‐aortic lymph node metastasis
4. How to detect PA nodes?
Sensitivity Specificity
Ultra sonogram Variable
CT-scan
Pelvis >8mm
PA >10mm
70-80% 85-92%
MRI
Size, rounded, irregular margin, clustering, necrosis
60-80% 80-90%
PET CT 85-91% 95%
*Surgerical – gold standard
5. So, should all patients undergo surgical LN
sampling?
● Requires advanced surgical skills.
● Since 85% of cases presently occur in low‐resource settings-skill and
infrastructure not widely available
● Cochrane Review (2013) - Pre‐treatment surgical para‐aortic lymph node
assessment in locally advanced cervical cancer lacks sufficient data
● Pathological confirmation is the gold standard but imaging can be used to
interpret disease extent.
NO
6. How to treat PA nodes?
● Extended field Radiotherapy (EFRT)
○ 2D
○ 3D
○ IMRT / VMAT
7. 2D Technique
● Based on X-ray simulation
● Dose distribution not seen
● Toxicity was concern
○ No dose escalation
○ CT+RT difficult
14. • A biologic response, as measured by the
change in SUV for metastatic lymph nodes,
was observed at a dose threshold of 54 Gy.
We recommend that involved lymph nodes be
treated to this minimum dose
What Dose ?
>54Gy

25. 1. Contour the inferior vena cava and aorta.
2. The superior extent should be the left renal vein.
3. The inferior extent should be the level of the bifurcation of the aorta.
26. 4. Expand the aorta by a margin of 10 mm anteriorly, posteriorly
and medially, and 15 mm laterally.
5. Expand the inferior vena cava by 8 mm anteriorly and medially,
and 6 mm posteriorly and laterally.
29. Conclusions
● If PAN+ (FIGO IIIC) consider EFRT with concurrent cisplatin.
● No role of prophylactic EFRT at present but is area of active
investigation
● IMRT/VMAT reduces toxicity and improves compliance to
concurrent chemo-radiotherapy
● Consensus Contouring Guideline is available for uniformity.
Surgical series suggest that the incidence of para-aortic nodal involvement increases with stage from about 5% in patients with stage I disease to 25% in those with stage III disease
. The type of imaging modality or pathology technique used should always be documented.
PA nodal inv
olvement is difficult. 8% of PET-CT –ve pt have positive PALNSurgicopathological assessment of lymph node involvement requires advanced surgical skills, whether performed by conventional or minimally invasive surgery. Since 85% of cases presently occur in low‐resource settings, the required professional skills and infrastructure facilities are presently not widely available. Pathological confirmation is the gold standard but imaging can be used to interpret disease extent.
The choice of imaging modality for nodal evaluation has not been fixed by FIGO. It depends upon the availability of the imaging modality and patients’ affordability. Non‐availability of an imaging modality should not be a reason for undue delay in initiation of treatment.
FIGO does not define criteria to discriminate between malignancy and inflammation/infection on imaging, which is left to the discretion of the clinician. The clinician must opine on whether these look suspicious enough to upstage the case or not.
The best available technology should be used for assessment, and the lowest appropriate stage should be assigned—i.e., when in doubt assign the lower stage.
At the present time, lack of facilities universally is recognized and clinical assessment of staging with the use of other facilities as available is permissible. The method of assigning the stage is to be recorded and reported.
