    ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION: There is a shortage of therapeutical agents for invasive cervical cancer in late stages of development; however, a number of promising molecules are currently in early phases of development. AREAS COVERED: This review briefly discusses the current achievements in treating cervical cancer with an emphasis in emerging agents based on a literature search on pubmed and related sites for cervical cancer information. This is not a systematic review. EXPERT OPINION: In advanced disease, modest survival gains have been achieved with cisplatin doublets. Contrariwise, chemoradiation has increased survival rates in locally advanced disease, but there is still room for improvement. Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor and anti-epidermal growth factor receptor monoclonal antibodies are promising molecules that are at present in late-phase development, but a high number of miscellaneous agents are in early development. Strong experimental bases support that the 'Achilles' heel' of cervical cancer are the HPV-E6/E7 oncogenes. Unfortunately, agents aimed at targeting these cervical cancer-driven players are found in very early development; hence, major research efforts must be focused on developing technological strategies for their effective targeting using nucleic acid-based vehicles for safe and effective delivery to cancer cells as well as accelerating the search for small-molecule inhibitors of E6/E7 themselves or their interacting cellular proteins.

  • Article: Anemia in cervical cancer patients
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Iron deficiency and tumor bleeding are common causes of anemia in cervical cancer. Anemia has a negative prognostic influence, and its correction is thought to improve prognosis; therefore, most patients are treated with either transfusion and/or erythropoietin. At present little is known about the value of iron stores replenishment to increase hemoglobin levels in this setting. Untreated cervical cancer patients with a hemoglobin <12 g/dL were randomized to intramuscular iron or to transfusion. Iron dose was calculated according to [weight (kg) × (15 − actual Hb) × 2.4]+500 and administered by injections of 200 mg daily. In both arms, patients who did not achieve at least 10 g/dL hemoglobin before or during chemoradiation were transfused. Patients received standard pelvic radiation plus six weekly doses of cisplatin. Hematic counts were performed before starting chemoradiation and weekly thereafter. Fifteen patients were studied; six were assigned to iron and nine to transfusion. Mean basal hemoglobin levels were 9.9 and 9.5 g/dL respectively. Total iron, saturation index, binding capacity, and ferritin were within normal limits, although there was a high variability among the patients. The mean total dose of iron administered was 1229 mg. Two weeks after randomization, hemoglobin increased to 10.9 and 10.2 g/dL respectively. At wk 1 of treatment and thereafter, levels were higher in the iron arm, in whom the values were close or higher than 12 g/dL (p=0.03). The median number of units transfused were 0 in the iron group and 2 in the transfusion (p=0.02) arm. Parenteral iron seems to be effective to increase hemoglobin in cervical cancer patients.

  • Article: Pharmacokinetic evaluation of gemcitabine hydrochloride for the treatment of cervical cancer.
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION: Cervical cancer is the third most prevalent cancer in females worldwide. When advanced, the disease requires primary radiation concurrent with chemotherapy. However, chemotherapy alone is the standard treatment for recurrent/persistent/metastatic disease. AREAS COVERED: Areas covered in this review include the treatment of advanced cervical cancer with gemcitabine as radiosensitizer, either alone or in combination with cisplatin. The use of gemcitabine for recurrent/persistent/metastatic cervical cancer is also reviewed. EXPERT OPINION: Statistically significantly better survival rates are achieved with cisplatin doublets against cisplatin alone, in the management of recurrent/persistent/metastatic cervical cancer. The choice of the cisplatin doublet with paclitaxel, vinorelbine, gemcitabine and topotecan arms should be based on physician preference, pre-existing morbidity and patient-related factors. In advanced disease, a recently reported Phase III trial establishes the novel regimen of concurrent gemcitabine plus cisplatin and external radiation, followed by brachytherapy and two adjuvant 21-day cycles of gemcitabine plus cisplatin, as significantly improving survival outcomes when compared with the current standard of care. The increased acute toxicity of this regimen is clear; however, this should not deter its incorporation into clinical practice, in that the toxicity is predictable and manageable; nevertheless, the occurrence of late toxicity and survival at longer follow-up time are reasonable concerns in this regimen.

    Article: Primary malignant melanoma of the uterine cervix treated with ultraradical surgery: a case report.
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Primary melanomas of the uterine cervix are rare tumors with no more than 60 cases reported in the world literature. Poor prognosis is considered for the neoplasia itself as well as for diagnostic tardiness. There is no standard treatment; however, radical surgery is the treatment cornerstone. Our aim was to present the case of a 34-year-old woman with a primary malignant melanoma in the uterine cervix with affectation of the posterior face of the vagina without metastasis. Total infraelevator pelvic exenteration and adjuvant radiotherapy was performed. The patient was under surveillance for 8 years of followup without evidence of local or distant disease. The majority of case reports found suggests radical hysterectomy as the treatment indicated for these patients. Notwithstanding this, survival is very short when patients are treated in this manner. Based on our results and on those reported in the literature, we propose initial treatment with total pelvic exenteration as optimal management for this neoplasia in its initial form.

  • Article: A double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized phase III trial of chemotherapy plus epigenetic therapy with hydralazine valproate for advanced cervical cancer. Preliminary results.
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: The reversing of epigenetic aberrations using the inhibitors of DNA methylation and histone deacetylases may have therapeutic value in cervical cancer. This is a randomized phase III, placebo-controlled study of hydralazine and valproate (HV) added to cisplatin topotecan in advanced cervical cancer. Patients received hydralazine at 182 mg for rapid, or 83 mg for slow acetylators, and valproate at 30 mg/kg, beginning a week before chemotherapy and continued until disease progression. Response, toxicity, and PFS were evaluated, and 36 patients (17 CT + HV and 19 CT + PLA) were included. The median number of cycles was 6. There were four PRs to CT + HV and one in CT + PLA. Stable disease in five (29%) and six (32%) patients, respectively, whereas eight (47%) and 12 (63%) showed progression (P = 0.27). At a median follow-up time of 7 months (1-22), the median PFS is 6 months for CT + PLA and 10 months for CT + HV (P = 0.0384, two tailed). Although preliminary, this study represents the first randomized clinical trial to demonstrate a significant advantage in progression-free survival for epigenetic therapy over one of the current standard combination chemotherapy in cervical cancer. Molecular correlates with response and survival from this trial are pending to analyze.

  • Article: Pharmacotherapy options for locally advanced and advanced cervical cancer.
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Cervical cancer continues to be a significant health burden worldwide. Globally, the majority of cancers are locally advanced at diagnosis; hence, radiation remains the most frequently used therapeutic modality. Currently, the value of adding cisplatin or cisplatin-based chemotherapy to radiation for the treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer is strongly supported by randomized studies and meta-analyses. Nevertheless, despite these significant achievements, therapeutic results are far from optimal; thus, novel therapies need to be investigated. A recent, randomized, phase III trial has shown for the first time that combination chemotherapy with cisplatin and gemcitabine concurrently with radiation improves parameters of survival over cisplatin alone and establishes a new standard for the management of locally advanced cervical cancer. On the other hand, advanced disease, presenting either as an International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IVB or as persistent or recurrent to primary therapy without local curative options, remains a devastating group of diseases with no options other than palliative chemotherapy. Recent results from the GOG (Gynecologic and Oncologic Group)-204 study demonstrate that cisplatin-doublets with paclitaxel, vinorelbine, gemcitabine or topotecan only produce small improvements in survival, although with different toxicity patterns; hence, patient-related factors are important when choosing any one of these regimens. The role of targeted therapies both in locally advanced and advanced disease is promising, but still at an investigational stage.

    Article: Serous adenocarcinoma of the fallopian tube, associated with verrucous carcinoma of the uterine cervix: a case report of synchronic rare gynecological tumors.
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Synchronous gynecological tumors are rare; it is even rarer to find the rarest of gynecological tumors that of the fallopian tube, together with a histological sub-type as rare as verrucous cervix. We report a synchronic fallopian tube adenocarcinoma and a verrucous cervical cancer. A 85-year-old woman with postmenopausal genital hemorrhage, endometrial biopsy was reported as squamous metaplasia, an exploratory laparotomy was performed finding a tubal tumor diagnosed as adenocarcinoma, a staging procedure was performed. Final staging revealed IB1 cervical carcinoma and IA G3 fallopian tube carcinoma. Adjuvant treatment with chemotherapy was not accepted by the patient. The patient has remained in follow-up, and at 9 months, there has been no documented evidence of recurrent disease. Reasons for our presentation of this work are: first, due to the rarity of these, and second, because of the usefulness of possessing a case report for establishing a norm for later behavior with respect to treatment of these patients.

    Article: Brachytherapy versus radical hysterectomy after external beam chemoradiation: a non-randomized matched comparison in IB2-IIB cervical cancer patients.
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: A current paradigm in the treatment of cervical cancer with radiation therapy is that intracavitary brachytherapy is an essential component of radical treatment. This is a matched retrospective comparison of the results of treatment in patients treated with external beam chemoradiation (EBRT-CT) and radical hysterectomy versus those treated with identical chemoradiation followed by brachytherapy. In this non-randomized comparison EBRT-CT protocol was the same in both groups of 40 patients. In the standard treated patients, EBRT-CT was followed by one or two intracavitary Cesium (low-dose rate) applications within 2 weeks of finishing external radiation to reach a point A dose of at least 85 Gy. In the surgically treated patients, radical hysterectomy with bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection and para-aortic lymph node sampling were performed within 7 weeks after EBRT-CT. Response, toxicity and survival were evaluated. A total of 80 patients were analyzed. The patients receiving EBRT-CT and surgery were matched with the standard treated cases. There were no differences in the clinicopathological characteristics between groups or in the delivery of EBRT-CT. The pattern of acute and late toxicity differed. Standard treated patients had more chronic proctitis while the surgically treated had acute complications of surgery and hydronephrosis. At a maximum follow-up of 60 months, median follow-up 26 (2-31) and 22 (3-27) months for the surgery and standard therapy respectively, eight patients per group have recurred and died. The progression free and overall survival are the same in both groups. The results of this study suggest that radical hysterectomy can be used after EBRT-CT without compromising survival in FIGO stage IB2-IIB cervical cancer patients in settings were brachytherapy is not available. A randomized study is needed to uncover the value of surgery after EBRT-CT.

    Article: Human papillomavirus (HPV) in breast tumors: prevalence in a group of Mexican patients.
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Breast cancer is one of the main health problems in developed countries, occupying first place in mortality in women. It is well-known that there are risk factors associated with breast cancer development. Nonetheless, in 50-80% of cases known risk factors have not been identified, this has generated the attempt to identify new factors related with this neoplasia as viral infections. The aim of this work is investigate the prevalence of HPV DNA in patients with breast lesions at the Instituto Nacional de Cancerologia de Mexico. Fifty-one cases of breast cancer were selected from the files of the institute and compared by age and tumor size with 43 cases of non malignant breast lesions (fibroadenoma, fibrocystic disease and phyllodes tumor). Paraffin embedded specimens were selected, HPV DNA was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequenced for different types of HPV in case of positivity for HPV-DNA. Descriptive analysis of clinical and pathological variables was performed and comparisons between positive and negative cases was done. All patients were mexican, mean age was 53.3, median age of menarche was 13 and median tumor size 9 cms. Cervicovaginal cytology was performed to all patients, 1 patient (1.9%) of cancer group had HPV and none in the other group, no cases were diagnosed with cervical dysplasia. In the group of carcinomas 36 (70.5%) were negative and 15 (29.4%) were positive to HPV-DNA, 10(66.6%) were positive for HPV 16, 3(20%) for HPV 18, two cases (13.4%) were positive for both. In the group of benign conditions all were negative to HPV-DNA. Presence of HPV in breast cancer in our group of cases is high in comparison to other authors; larger numbers of cases need to be analyzed in order to establish the exact role of this virus in the pathogenesis of breast cancer.

  • Article: Weekly topotecan as second- or third-line treatment in patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer.
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Topotecan is active in advanced or metastatic cervical cancer even in patients who have received prior cisplatin-based chemotherapy, although hematologic toxicity has limited its use. Studies in cervical cancer have utilized topotecan administered on days 1-5 of each 21- or 28-day cycle. Alternative schedules, such as weekly schemes, have proven to ameliorate hematological toxicity. The objective of this study was to analyze the results of weekly topotecan as second- or third-line therapy in advanced or metastatic cervical cancer. Eligible patients had histologically confirmed cervical carcinoma, measurable disease, and at least one prior chemotherapy regimen. Topotecan was administered at a dose of 3 mg/m(2) (maximum, 5 mg per dose) diluted in 250 ml of normal saline in a 30-min infusion weekly for every 28 days. We assessed response and toxicity. Twenty-two patients entered this study. Eighteen patients were evaluable for toxicity and response. Patients received a mean 3.5 courses (range, 1-6 courses). No complete or partial responses were observed; five (27.7%) patients exhibited disease stabilization as maximum response (two in irradiated sites, and three in lung/mediastinum). Median progression-free interval was 3.5 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.75-4 months) and median overall survival was 7 months (95% CI: 6-8.7 months). Weekly topotecan administration achieved disease stabilization in 27.7% of heavily pre-treated patients. The achievement could be of worth in this setting in which disease prolongation is desirable.

    Article: Radiation-sparing managements for cervical cancer: a developing countries perspective.
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Cervical cancer is the seventh most frequent cancer worldwide but more than 80% of cases occur in developing countries. Till date, radiation therapy with external beam and brachytherapy remains as the core treatment for most stages of cervical cancer. However, radiation treatment protocols and equipment modelled on the best developed countries can be seldom applied directly to developing countries owing to financial constraints and lack of qualified personnel, thus, a substantial proportion of patients do not have access to even palliative radiation therapy. Treatment options when the standard therapy is either not available or difficult to reproduce in particular settings is highly desirable with the potential to save lives that otherwise could be lost by the lack of adequate treatment. These options of treatment ideally had to have show, 1) that these are not inferior to the "standard" in terms of either survival or quality of life; 2) that these can be delivered in settings were the "standard" is not available or if available its quality is poor; and 3) that the treatment option be accepted by the population to be treated. Based on these considerations, it is obvious that cervical cancer patients, particularly those who live in countries with limited resources and therefore may not have sufficient radiation therapy resources are in need of newer therapeutical options. There is now a considerable amount of information emanating from clinical studies where surgery has a major role in treating this disease. These forms of "radiation-sparing" treatments include total mesometrial resection that could make unnecessary the use of adjuvant radiation; neoadjuvant chemotherapy that could avoid the use of adjuvant radiation in around 85% of patients and preoperative chemoradiation that could make brachytherapy dispensable. The feasibility and therapeutical value of these potential forms of management need to be prospectively evaluated.

    Article: Radiosensitizers in cervical cancer. Cisplatin and beyond.
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Cervical cancer continues to be a significant health burden worldwide. Globally, the majority of cancers are locally advanced at diagnosis; hence, radiation remains the most frequently used therapeutical modality. Currently, the value of adding cisplatin or cisplatin-based chemotherapy to radiation for treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer is strongly supported by randomized studies and meta-analyses. Nevertheless, despite these significant achievements, therapeutic results are far from optimal; thus, novel therapies need to be assayed. A strategy currently being investigated is the use of newer radiosensitizers alone or in combination with platinum compounds. In the present work, we present preclinical information on known and newer cytotoxic agents as radiosensitizers on cervical cancer models, as well as the clinical information emanating from early phase trials that incorporate them to the cervical cancer management. In addition, we present the perspectives on the combined approach of radiation therapy and molecular target-based drugs with proven radiosensitizing capacity.

    Article: Routine management of locally advanced cervical cancer with concurrent radiation and cisplatin. Five-year results.
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Globally, cervical cancer primarily affects socially disadvantaged women. Five randomized trials were the foundation for adopting cisplatin-based chemotherapy during radiation as the standard of care for high-risk patients after primary radical hysterectomy who require adjuvant radiation and for locally advanced patients treated with definitive radiation. These results were obtained in clinical trials performed in carefully prepared academic centers; hence, we sought to determine whether these results could be reproduced when patients were treated on an out-of-protocol basis. We reviewed the files of 294 patients with locally advanced cervical cancer who received radiation plus weekly cisplatin as routine management between 1999 to 2003, and analyzed treatment compliance, response rate, toxicity, and survival. A total of 294 patients who received radiation and cisplatin were analyzed. Mean age was 43.8 years (range, 26-68 years). The majority of cases were squamous cell carcinoma (87.8%), and distribution according to International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage was as follows: IB2-IIA, 23%; IIB, 53.3%, and IIIB, 23%; there were only two IVA cases. Overall, 96% of patients completed external beam, and intracavitary therapy. The majority of patients (67%) received the planned six courses of weekly cisplatin. Complete responses were achieved in 243 (83%) patients, whereas 51 (17%) had either persistent (32 patients, 10.8%) or progressive (19 patients, 6.4%) disease. At median follow-up (28 months; range, 2-68 months), 36 patients (12.2%) have relapsed (locally 30.5, and systemically, 69.5%). The most common toxicities were hematologic and gastrointestinal, in the majority of cases considered mild-moderate. At median follow-up (28 months; range, 2-68 months), overall and progression-free survival are 76.5 and 67%, respectively. Our results support use of chemoradiation with six weekly applications of cisplatin at 40 mg/m2 during external radiation for routine management of locally advanced cervical cancer.

    Article: Prognostic significance of pathological response after neoadjuvant chemotherapy or chemoradiation for locally advanced cervical carcinoma.
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Cisplatin-based chemoradiation is the standard of care for locally advanced cervical cancer patients; however, neoadjuvant modalities are currently being tested. Neoadjuvant studies in several tumor types have underscored the prognostic significance of pathological response for survival; however there is a paucity of studies in cervical cancer investigating this issue. Four cohorts of patients with locally advanced cervical carcinoma (stages IB2-IIIB); included prospectively in phase II protocols of either neoadjuvant chemotherapy with 1) cisplatin-gemcitabine, 2) oxaliplatin-gemcitabine, 3) carboplatin-paclitaxel or 4) chemoradiation with cisplatin or cisplatin-gemcitabine followed by radical hysterectomy were analyzed for pathological response and survival. One-hundred and fifty three (86%) of the 178 patients treated within these trials, underwent radical hysterectomy and were analyzed. Overall, the mean age was 44.7 and almost two-thirds were FIGO stage IIB. Pathological response rates were as follows: Complete (pCR) in 60 cases (39.2%), Near-complete (p-Near-CR) in 24 (15.6 %) and partial (pPR) in 69 cases (45.1%). A higher proportion rate of pCR was observed in patients treated with chemoradiotherapy (with cisplatin [19/40, 47.5%]; or with cisplatin-gemcitabine [24/41, 58.5%] compared with patients receiving only chemotherapy, 6/23 (26%), 3/8 (37.5%) and 8/41 (19.5%) for cisplatin-gemcitabine, oxaliplatin-gemcitabine and carboplatin-paclitaxel respectively [p = 0.0001]). A total of 29 relapses (18.9%) were documented. The pathological response was the only factor influencing on relapse, since only 4/60 (6.6%) patients with pCR relapsed, compared with 25/93 (26.8%) patients with viable tumor, either pNear-CR or pPR (p = 0.001). Overall survival was 98.3% in patients with pCR versus 83% for patients with either pNear-CR or pPR (p = 0.009). Complete pathological response but no Near-complete and partial responses is associated with longer survival in cervical cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy.
