Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Extended field radiotherapy  Para aortic nodal volume will be added to the pelvic nodal volume and PTV tumor in Pelvic node positive cervical cancer which will receive 45Gy/25#/5weeks. Simultaneous integrated boost of 55Gy/25#/5weeks will be delivered to positive pelvic nodes. Concurrent cisplatin will be given every week with external radiotherapy. External Radiotherapy will be followed by brachytherapy.

Brief Summary  

There is a paucity of prospective  studies comparing pelvic versus extended field  radiation with concurrent chemotherapy (CCT).  

The current study is based on the hypothesis that addition of prophylactic Extended Field Radiotherapy is expected to result in better Para- aortic lymph nodal control and hence, an improved distant control. Further, the use of image guided external radiotherapy techniques will allow for dose escalation to the involved pelvic nodes without increasing morbidity.  The goal of this study is to compare EFRT with standard pelvic radiotherapy in terms of  QOL, acute normal tissue response  and early treatment outcomes  in patients of cervical cancer with pelvic lymph nodal disease at the time of diagnosis.
