- Brief Summary
Cervical cancer isthe most common cancer among females in rural India. The standard treatment ischemo-radiotherapy. Five year survival remains around 50% only in locallyadvanced cervical cancer with most patients recurring within the initial 2years. Immune evasion by various mechanisms is one of the ways of resistance totreatment in various cancers. Immune profiling of tumour micro-environment(TME) before treatment will help identify tumours that are inherentlyimmunosuppressed and therefore expected to have poor responses to standardanti-cancer treatment. This immune profiling will also help in future to conducttrials using hypofractionated (> 5 Gy/ fraction) radiotherapy to make theTME immune-inflamed. In the proposed pilot study, 60 patients oflocally advanced (Stage IB2 – IIIB) cervical cancer will be recruited forimmunoprofiling and will be treated with standard chemoradiation followed bybrachytherapy. Paraffin embedded primary tumour biopsy will be subjected toimmunohistochemistry (IHC). IHC for CD8 and regulatory T cell infiltration intumour (CD4 and FOXP3) will be performed. Similarly M2 macrophages will beidentified by IHC for CD 68. Early clinical response will be assessed at theend of external beam radiotherapy and 3 months after completion ofbrachytherapy. Progression free survival at 18 and 24 months will be noted andcorrelated with the immune profile of pretreatment biopsy. Clinical responseswill be graded as progressive disease, stable disease, partial response andcomplete response. Uni-variate analysis by log rank test for survival data willbe attempted.
