Abstract
PURPOSE: Bevacizumab is the only therapeutic target approved for patients with persistent, recurrent or advanced cervical cancer from a phase III study that combined with chemotherapy; it proves a significant increase in overall survival. To retrospectively assess the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab as the first-line treatment in patients from usual clinical practice with recurrent/persistent or advanced cervical cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Treatment consisted of cisplatin 50 mg/m2 or carboplatin AUC 5 plus paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 for 6-8 cycles and bevacizumab 15 mg/kg every 3 weeks up to progression or unacceptable toxicity. The endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), response rates (RR) and toxicity. RESULTS: Twenty-seven patients were included from January 2014 to June 2017, with a median follow-up 10, 1 months. Eleven percent had recurrent/persistent disease and 89% had metastatic disease at diagnosis. The prior exposition to platinum was 70%. The median PFS and OS were 9, 6 and 21, 5 months, respectively. There was an increase of fistula formation (22%). All of them had pelvic and peritoneal disease at the beginning of treatment and previous treatment with chemoradiotherapy; non-incidence differences were found according to the type of platinum agent used. There were two treatment-related deaths, one from intestinal perforation and another from severe sepsis. CONCLUSION: Finally, although our study does have certain limitations, we believe that it can provide useful information and encouraging evidence that the routine use of bevacizumab as part of first-line treatment of patients with advanced cervical cancer may be associated with outcomes comparable with those obtained in GOG240 study.
