Abstract

This study aimed to compare the outcomes of RT modalities among patients who met different HIR criteria based on multicentric real-world data over 15 years. The enrolled patients, who were diagnosed with FIGO I-II EC from 13 medical institutes and treated with hysterectomy and RT, were reclassified into HIR groups according to the criteria of GOG-249, PORTEC-2, and ESTRO-ESMO-ESGO, respectively. The trends in RT modes utilization were reviewed using the Man-Kendall test. The rate of VBT alone increased from zero in 2005 to 50% in 2015, which showed a significant upward trend (p < 0.05), while the rate of EBRT + VBT utilization declined from 87.5% to around 25% from 2005 to 2015 (p > 0.05). There were no significant differences in OS, DFS, LRFS, and DMFS between VBT alone and EBRT ± VBT in three HIR cohorts. Subgroup analyses in the GOG-249 HIR cohort showed that EBRT ± VBT had higher 5-year DFS, DMFS, and LRFS than VBT alone for patients without lymph node dissection (p < 0.05). Thus, VBT could be regarded as a standard adjuvant radiation modality for HIR patients. EBRT should be administrated to selected HIR patients who meet the GOG-249 criteria and did not undergo lymph node dissection.
