BACKGROUND: To investigate the prognostic factors affecting long-term survival in locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) patients treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 192 naive LACC (stage IIB-IVA) patients who underwent intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with concurrent platinum-based chemotherapy in Xiangya Hospital from January 2014 to June 2017. The clinicopathological factors of all patients were collected. To explore the relationship between factors and prognosis, survival rates were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate the effect of various factors on overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). The nomogram and calibration curves were generated on the basis of survival analysis. RESULTS: The median follow-up time was 39.5 months. There-year rates of OS and PFS were 89.1% and 82.8%. LACC patients with non-squamous cell carcinoma [NSCC, including adenocarcinoma or adenosquamous carcinoma (AC/ASC)], advanced stage (IIIA-IVA), initially positive lymph node (pelvic or para-aortic lymph node, PLN/PALN), and a lower pretreatment hemoglobin (HGB) level (< 126 g/L) had lower survival rates. In univariate analysis, patients with NSCC, advanced stage, PLN or PALN metastasis had worse OS. Patients with NSCC, advanced stage, PLN or PALN metastasis, and a lower pretreatment HGB level had worse PFS. In multivariate analysis, NSCC and PALN metastasis were independent prognostic parameters of OS. NSCC, PALN metastasis and a lower pretreatment HGB level were independent prognostic parameters of PFS. CONCLUSIONS: NSCC and PALN metastasis were poor prognostic factors of OS and PFS, a lower pretreatment HGB level was an independent prognostic factor of PFS in LACC patients treated with CCRT.
