CARCINOMA CERVIX STAGE II B POST RT + CT WITH LOCAL RECURRENCE

CASE 1

• CLINICAL HISTORY: Patient was diagnosed with

carcinoma cervix stage II B with pelvic lymphnode in Nov

2008. Patient was treated with radical radiotherapy with

EBRT technique with a dose of 46 Gy / 23 # and single

fraction of brachytherapy along with concurrent

chemotherapy with weekly Cisplatin. Patient was on

regular follow up and found to have loco regional

recurrence in Aug 2009 in the cervix. Was referred here for

further management.

•PET CT scan on 03.09.09 revealed mild prominent cervix, metabolically active

node measuring 9 mm in the posterior lip of cervix, consistent with recurrence.

All treatment options were discussed with the patient and was planned for

cyberknife treatment.

TREATMENT GIVEN: Patient was planned and treated with PET CT

based Cyberknife treatment with a dose of 30 Gy / 5 # / 5 days to the

recurrent lesion in the cervix from 29.09.09 to 03.10.09. Patient tolerated

the therapy well.

CASE 2

Patient presented in Jun`07 with complaints of pain in lower abdomen and bleeding P/V, was evaluated by a Gyaenacologist at Thane, and diagnosed as Ca Cervix and was referred to Dr. Satish Kamath who evaluated further and diagnosed as locally advanced Ca Cervix. Was treated with 2 cycles of Neo adjuvant chemotherapy with 5 Fluro - Uracil + Cisplatin followed by Wertheims hysterectomy on 03.08.07,

• HPR revealed Squamous cell carcinoma, Grade II / III , Perineural extension +, Bilateral iliac lymphnodes involved.

• Patient received adjuvant CT + RT with EBRT – 50 Gy / 25 # followed by HDR Brachytherapy, 6 Gy / 3 # along with weekly Cisplatin in Nov`07.

• Patient was asymptomatic for 1 year and in Nov `08 presented with pain in the left Inguinal region, Ultrasound revealed Lymphnode recurrence in pelvis..

• Patient did not receive any treatment till Jun`09, re-evaluation revealed pelvic recurrence with left lower limb oedema, left hydronephrosis with left iliac mass. Patient was referred here for second opinion and further management

• PET CT at HCG BIO revealed pelvic recurrence with no distant metastasis. It was decided to consider the patient for Cyberknife treatment.

• Bowel and bladder habits are regular. Appetite normal.

• Not a known case of DM / TB / CAD / HTN.

• No loss of weight.

Ultrasound: Color Doppler Evaluation of Veins of Left Lower Extremity done on 18.06.09 at Gune Medical Centre, Ambernath revealed No evidence of deep vein thrombosis. (Superficial thrombosis noted involving long saphenous vein)

Ultrasound : Abdomen and Pelvis done on 18.06.09 at Gune Medical Centre, Ambernath revealed Tumor recurrence likely in L.I.F and moderate left Hydronephrosis.

CT Scan of Abdomen and Pelvis ( Oral+IV

Contrast) done on 19.06.09 at Om Shree Siddhi

Scanning & Diagnostic Centre, Thane revealed

Post op status is seen. Soft tissue is seen along the

left lateral pelvic side wall as described with extension

to the left lateral wall of the bladder. This is seen to

encase the left ureter with resultant left sided

hydronephrosis as well as hydroureter. This is S/O

recurrent local metastatic disease.

Whole Body PET CT Scan done on 26.06.09 at HCG, Bangalore revealed Status post hysterectomy.

• No obvious vaginal vault recurrence.• 5.5 x 5.0 x 3.7 cm predominantly necrotic metabolically

active left iliac metastatic Lymphnode infiltrating left obturator internus muscle and adherent to the bladder wall.

• 1.5 x 0.8 cm metabolically active right common iliac metastatic.

• No pulmonary hepatic, adrenal or osseous metastases.• Atrophic left kidney with moderate hydroureteronephrosis.

Recommend correlation with renogram.• Diffuse subcutaneous edema in the proximal thigh, likely

due to left iliac vein obstruction and possibly lymphatic obstruction.

• Whole body PET CT scan on 17.04.10 revealed large

necrotic metabolically active mass in the uterine cervix extending to

bilateral pelvic fat stranding, likely representing post radiation changes

versus neoplastic extension, multiple enlarged metabolically active

pelvic, bilateral iliac – inguinal and lower retroperitoneal lymphnodes –

metastatic, multiple enlarged / enhancing neck, mediastinal and

bilateral axillary lymphnodes. While these may represent

inflammatory / infectious etiology, possibility of metastatic

Patient was treated with radiotherapy with EBRT technique with a dose of 50 Gy / 25 # to the pelvic region from 01.02.08 to 07.03.08 followed by brachytherapy with a dose of 12 Gy / 2 # on 19.03.08 and 26.03.08.
