Applied standard methods of cervical cancer (CC) treatment have several disadvantages in terms of local and systemic toxicity and the risks of local recurrence. Our study proposed the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in a dose-dense mode, followed by radical hysterectomy, in order to improve the results of treatment of locally advanced CC (IB2-IIB stages) (FIGO)/T1b2-2bN0M0 (TNM).</p><p><bold>Aim</bold>. Improvement of immediate and long-term results in treatment of locally advanced CC IB2-IIB stages (FIGO), determining the immediate effectiveness of dose-dense NACT, based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data, and the identification of prognostic factors for tumor response to chemotherapy.</p><p><bold>Materials and methods</bold>. Between April 2016 to November 2019 120 women with IB2-IIB stages (FIGO) were included in this study. Of these, 58 patients underwent 3 cycles of intensified NACT according to the AP scheme (cisplatin 75 mg/m<sup>2</sup>, doxorubicin 35 mg/m<sup>2</sup>) and 62 patients underwent NACT according to the TR scheme (cisplatin 60 mg/m<sup>2</sup>, paclitaxel 60 mg/m<sup>2</sup>). The assessment of the effect of intensified NACT was performed according to the RECIST 1.1 criteria according to MRI data. Also 2 retrospective groups of patients were recruited: group I - surgical treatment without preoperative chemotherapy (25 patients with IB2-IB3 stages (FIGO) from November 2009 to August 2019), group II - concurrent chemoradiotherapy (44 patients with stage IIB cervical cancer (FIGO) from January 2013 to June 2018).</p><p><bold>Results</bold>. Complete clinical response was detected in 12 (10.0 %) patients, partial response - in 69 (57.5 %) patients, stable disease - in 35 (29.2 %) patients, progression was observed in 4 cases (3.3 %). After NACT in a dose dense mode, due to an objective clinical response (complete response, partial response and stable disease for stage IIA according to RECIST 1.1 criteria), 99 (82.5 %) patients underwent surgical treatment. For 21 (17.5 %) patients due to the absence achievement of objective clinical response (stable disease for stage IIB according to RECIST 1.1 criteria or progression), performed concurrent chemoradiotherapy. During the observation period, 113 (94.2 %) patients remained alive. Mortality for the first year was 1.7 % (2 cases). There was a coincidence of the results of a complete response according to MRI in 11 (91.7 %) cases out of 12 cases with the pathology data. According to multivariate analysis, it was revealed that parametrial invasion, according to the histological examination of the surgical material, is an independent prognostic factor for recurrence. According to comparative evaluation of disease-free survival curves between groups of IB2-IIB stages (FIGO) patients who received and did not receive dose-dense chemotherapy, it was found that disease- free survival in the group with NACT was higher compared to the group without NACT (<italic>p</italic> = 0.03, the <italic>log-rank</italic> criterion).</p><p><bold>Conclusions</bold>. The use of dose-dense NACT is an effective treatment mode for patients with IB2-IIB CC (FIGO), which in most cases allows achieving a tumor response with subsequent improvement in immediate and long-term results and can be considered as an alternative to standard treatment for locally advanced CC.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Введение</bold>. Рак шейки матки (РШМ) является важной проблемой общественного здравоохранения во всем мире. Применяемые стандартные методы лечения имеют ряд недостатков в отношении как местной и системной токсичности, так и рисков локального рецидива. с целью улучшения результатов лечения местно-распространенного РШМ IB2—IIB стадий (FIGO)/T1b2—2bN0M0 (TNM) в нашем исследовании было предложено применение неоадъювантной химиотерапии (НАХТ) в интенсифицированном режиме с последующей радикальной гистерэктомией при объективном клиническом ответе опухоли.</p><p><bold>Цель исследования</bold> - улучшение непосредственных и отдаленных результатов лечения местно-распространенного РШМ IB2-IIB стадий (FIGO), определение непосредственной эффективности проводимой интенсифицированной НАХТ на основании данных магнитно-резонансной томографии (МРТ) и выявление прогностических факторов ответа опухоли на химиотерапию.</p><p><bold>Материалы и методы</bold>. С апреля 2016 г. по ноябрь 2019 г. в ФГБУ «НМИЦ онкологии им. Н.Н. Петрова» Минздрава России в исследование было включено 120 пациенток с морфологически подтвержденным РШМ IB2-IIB стадий (FIGO). из них 58 пациенткам было проведено 3 цикла интенсифицированной НАХТ по схеме АР (цисплатин 75 мг/м<sup>2</sup>, доксорубицин 35 мг/м<sup>2</sup>) и 62 пациенткам - по схеме ТР (цисплатин 60 мг/м<sup>2</sup>, паклитаксел 60 мг/м<sup>2</sup>). Оценка эффекта интенсифицированной НАХТ выполнялась согласно критериям RECIST 1.1 по данным МРТ. для определения наиболее значимых факторов прогноза, анализа выживаемости по Каплану-Мейеру и регрессионного анализа Кокса были набраны 2 ретроспективные группы больных: I группа - хирургическое лечение без предоперационной химиотерапии (25 больных РШМ IB2-IB3 стадий (FIGO) в период с ноября 2009 г. по август 2019 г.), II группа - сочетанная химиолучевая терапия по радикальной программе (44 больных РШМ IIB стадии (FIGO) в период с января 2013 г. по июнь 2018 г.).</p><p><bold>Результаты</bold>. согласно критериям RECIST 1.1, в результате проведенной интенсифицированной НАХТ полный клинический ответ был выявлен у 12 (10,0 %) пациенток, частичный ответ - у 69 (57,5 %), стабилизация - у 35 (29,2 %), прогрессирование отмечалось у 4 пациенток (3,3 %). После проведенной НАХТ в интенсифицированном режиме ввиду объективного клинического ответа (полный регресс, частичный регресс и стабилизация процесса для IIA стадии по критериям RECIST 1.1) 99 (82,5 %) пациенткам было выполнено хирургическое лечение, 21 (17,5 %) пациентке ввиду отсутствия достижения объективного клинического ответа (стабилизация для IIB стадии по критериям RECIST 1.1 или прогрессирование) был проведен курс химиолучевой терапии по радикальной программе. за время наблюдения в живых остается 113 (94,2 %) пациенток. летальность за 1-й год составила 1,7 % (2 случая). было отмечено совпадение результатов полного ответа по данным МРТ с данными патоморфологического исследования в 11 (91,7 %) случаях из 12. Путем многофакторного анализа выявлено, что инвазия в параметральную клетчатку по данным гистологического исследования операционного материала является независимым прогностическим фактором рецидива. При сравнительной оценке кривых безрецидивной выживаемости между группами пациенток с РШМ IB2-IIB стадий (FIGO), которые получали и не получали интенсифицированную НАХТ, было выявлено, что безрецидивная выживаемость в группе с НАХТ была выше по сравнению с группой без НАХТ (<italic>р</italic> = 0,03, <italic>log-rank</italic>-критерий).</p><p><bold>Выводы</bold>. Применение интенсифицированной НаХТ является эффективным методом лечения больных РШМ IB2- IIB стадий (FIGO), позволяющим в большинстве случаев добиться ответа опухоли с последующим улучшением непосредственных и отдаленных результатов, и может быть рассмотрено как альтернатива стандартному лечению местно-распространенного РШМ.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>locally advanced cervical cancer</kwd><kwd>dose-dense neoadjuvant chemotherapy</kwd><kwd>MRI assessment</kwd><kwd>pathological response</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>местно-распространенный рак шейки матки</kwd><kwd>интенсифицированная неоадъювантная химиотерапия</kwd><kwd>МРТ-оценка</kwd><kwd>патоморфологический ответ</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Sung H., Ferlay J., Siegel R. et al.
