Outcomes of concurrent radiotherapy and weekly paclitaxel/carboplatin therapy in cervical cancer: a retrospective
Purpose Of Investigation:
To determine if concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) with paclitaxel and carboplatin is effective, convenient, and tolerable for cervical cancer treatment.
Materials And Methods:
The authors retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 49 patients. Primary outcomes included progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). The Cox proportional hazards model was adjusted for all prognostic factors in the multivariable analysis.
Results:
Over the median follow-up time of 32 months in a sample consisting of 87.8% (43/49) squamous cell carcinoma and 12.2% (6/49) adenocarcinoma, two-year PFS and OS rates were 67.2% and 80.9%, respectively. In univariate analyses, stage, histology, performance status, tumor size, and age were significant vari- ables for OS; only histology was significant in the multivariable analysis. Acute toxicity grade 3 or 4 neutropenia (85.7%), diarrhea (32.7%), and late toxicity grade 3 or 4 (12.2%) were detected.
Conclusions:
For cervical cancer treatment, CCRT with paclitaxel/car- boplatin is satisfactory.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Guidelines for Writing Outcome
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...
