Abstract
- Abstract Background Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) is the standard of care for locally advanced cervical cancer. In this study, we analyzed the pretreatment clinical and 18F‐fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) characteristics of patients with locally advanced cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) to develop a scoring prototype for risk stratification. Methods Two cohorts were constructed in this study. Cohort 1 comprised patients with cervical SCC with 2009 FIGO stage III‐IVA or stage I–II with positive pelvic or para‐aortic lymph node (PALN) on PET/CT from AGOG09‐001 trial. Cohort 2 comprised patients with similar characteristics who had received adequate therapy in our hospital between 2016 and 2021. Pretreatment patient characteristics and PET/CT parameters including maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) and metabolic tumor volume (MTV) of primary tumor and nodal SUVmax were assessed for cancer‐specific survival (CSS) using multivariate Cox regression. Results Analysis of combined data from cohorts 1 (n = 55) and 2 (n = 128) indicated age ≥ 66 years, primary tumor MTV ≥87 mL, and positive PALN on PET/CT to be independently significant adverse predictors for CSS (p
