Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Maximum Tolerated Dose of Integrated Boost Radiation Therapy, Administered With IMRT Technique With Concurrent Chemotherapy (Cisplatin).During RT to 6 weeks post RT

Concurrent radiation therapy and chemotherapy is the standard of care for node positive cervical cancer. While there are several acceptable means to boost the disease in the low pelvis (i.e. brachytherapy, IMRT, or external beam), there is limited research into boosting gross disease in the pelvis or para-aortic region. This protocol is designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose of treating tumor bearing regions within the abdomen and pelvis, using an integrated boost technique and concurrent chemotherapy.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Acute Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT)6 weeks following treatment

Acute DLT will be defined based on the side effects inherent from radiation therapy for gynecologic cancers, including effects on bowel, bladder, and skin.Since integrated radiation dose escalation is unlikely to substantially affect the hematopoietic system, only non-hematologic, grade 3-4, acute toxicity will be considered the primary dose-limiting toxicity (acute DLT). Dose limiting toxicity will include any of the following during treatment or within 6 weeks of completion: Acute Grade 3-4 enteritis or proctitis, Acute Grade 3-4 bladder toxicity, Acute Grade 4 dermatologic toxicity.

Disease Free Survival (DFS)3 years after treatment
Overall Survival (OS)3 years after treatment
Number of Participants With Late Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT)3 years following treatment

Late DLTs will be defined at grade 3-4 GI or GU toxicity with onset after 6 weeks of treatment.

Time to Local-regional Control With Integrated Boost Radiation Therapy (TTLR)3 years following treatment

Local-regional control is defined as local control without any nodal recurrence.

Time to Distant Recurrence (TTDR)3 years after treatment
