GYN Flashcards
Cervical Screening
Age <21: no screening regardless of 1st coitus age
- Age 21-29: cytology q.3 yrs w/o HPV co-test
- Age 30-65: co-test q.5 yrs (cytology+HPV) or cytology q.3yrs.
- Age 65+: No further testing if 3 prior negative cytologies or 2 negative prior co-tests
Cervical Staging
IA1: <3mm depth
IA2: 3-5mm
IB1 – macro < 2 cm (and >5 mm depth)
IB2 – macro 2-4 cm
IB3 – macro > 4cm (bulky!)
IIA1: upper 2/3 vagina < 4cm: (small size therefore group with IB1 for tx)
IIA2: upper 2/3 vagina > 4cm
IIB - parametria
IIIA – lower 1/3 vagina
IIIB – pelvic SW, hydro, kidney dysfunction
IIIC1 – pelvic nodes
IIIC2 – PA nodes
IVA/T4: bladder, rectum, or beyond true pelvis
IVB/M1: distant organs
Cervix 1A1 no LVI treatment
(only group not needing nodal management)
1) Cold knife cone, if negative margins, then simple hysterectomy (if fertility not desired)
2) Fertility sparing: CKC (want margins ≥3mm, no LVI) if positive margins repeat cone or trachelectomy
3) Inoperable: definitive brachy (7.5 x5)
Cervix IA2
1) Mod rad hyst + pelvic LND/SNB > risk stratified RT/CRT (Sedlis/Peters)
2) Fertility sparing: Rad trach + PLND/SNB, or CKC with neg margins and PLND/SNB
3) Definitive RT (pelvic RT+brachy, 75Gy)
Cervix IB1-2 and IIA1
1) Rad hyst + PLND + PA sampling > risk stratified RT/CRT (Sedlis/Peters)
2) Last fertility sparing option for IB1, up to 2cm, no LVI, path node neg: rad trachelectomy+ PLND/SND
3) Definitive RT (80+Gy)
Cervix IB3, IIA2+
Cervix IB3, IIA2+ ie >4 cm or advanced
CRT ->brachy boost
Cervix Post op Whole Pelvis RT indications
Sedlis 2 of 3 factors:
LVSI
> 4cm
>1/3 stromal invasion
Cervix Post op Chemo RT
(Peters)
Positive margins (<3 mm)
Positive nodes
Parametrial inv (surprise FIGO IIB)
Cervix pelvic targets
Targets (definitive or postop):
- gross disease (cervix and entire uterus if definitive), vagina, parametria/uterosacrals, and pelvic LN
- always: Pelvic LN: obturator, internal/external iliac, presacral
- Cover common iliacs if pelvic LN + (to bifurcation of aorta)
- Extended field to level of renal vessels (or higher, ~5cm above highest LN) if common iliacs or PA involved
- Inguinal nodes if IIIA (distal vagina involved)
IMRT? indicated for SIB to gross nodes, extended field, or postop (TIME-C trial for postop cervix and endometrial, IMRT reduced pt reported acute GI and GU toxicity). Otherwise, prob safest to say 3DCRT.
*parametria positive – 45, then boost parametria to 54
3DCRT fields (postop or definitive): All to 45 Gy (50.4Gy if EBRT alone)
Cervix
AP/PA:
sup: L4/L5 at int/ext iliac nodes (bifurcation of common iliacs)
- if pelvic nodes +, tx common iliac nodes (L3/4 – bifurcation of aorta)
inf: 3 cm below inf vaginal inv or inferior obturator (whichever is lower)
lat: 2 cm on pelvic brim (don’t block SI joints or femoral head)
Lat field:
- anterior: 1 cm anterior to pubic symphysis
- posterior: entire sacrum (don’t split!)
Cervix post op dose
Post-op
- Treating for Sedlis criteria, negative margins and negative LN: 45 Gy to pelvis
- Treating for Positive margins: 45 Gy to pelvis, parametrial boost as above to 54 Gy, vaginal cylinder boost 4Gy x 3 to surface (EQD2 62.4-67Gy) – goal 60-66Gy to areas of concern for positive margins
Parametrial Boost – 54 Gy, if involved, with IMRT
-3D borders – AP/PA – lower sup border to bottom of SI joint, 4-4.5 cm wide midline block – all other borders stay the same
Cervix Treatment flow
CRT - > exam/MRI at 4 weeks -> Brachy twice weekly after EBRT separated by 72 hours, finish all in 8 weeks
Cervix HDR goals
Target
D90 > 100% Rx (>80-85Gy EQD2)
Point A >65Gy (for CT/MR guided/optimized brachy)
Cervix OAR constraints
- Small Bowel: D2cc <65Gy EQD2
- Rectum: D2cc <65Gy EQD2
- Sigmoid: D2cc <65Gy EQD2
- Bladder: D2cc <80Gy EQD2
- Cumulative:
- Vagina:
- -upper < 120 Gy
- -mid < 80 Gy
- -lower < 60 Gy
- Fem head < 45
Endometrial staging
- IA: endometrium or <50% MMI
- IB:_>_50% MMI
- II – cervical stromal inv
- IIIA – serosa, adnexa
- IIIB – vagina or parametrial involvement
- IIIC1 - PLN : N1
- IIIC2 - PALN : N2
- IVA – bladder, bowel
- IVB – distant met
