Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Uterine Cervical Cancer
Uterine Cervical Neoplasms
Cervical Cancer
Interventions
Procedure: radical hysterectomy + pelvic lymph node dissection
Radiation: Pelvic RT
Registration Number
NCT01755897
Lead Sponsor
Huazhong University of Science and Technology
Brief Summary

We will conduct a trial to determine whether paclitaxel/cisplatin (TP) as an adjuvant chemotherapy after radical surgery improve disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS), as well as the quality of life (QoL) among early-stage (FIGO stage IB-IIA) cervical cancer patients with risk factors.
