Abstract:Objective To investigate the dynamic changes of abnormal protein Tumor (TAP) in cervical cancer during concurrent chemoradiotherapy, and the relationships between TAP and clinical features and prognosis analysis of patients with cervical cancer. Methods A total of 89 patients with locally advanced cervical cancer were enrolled in this study from April 2012 to April 2015 in our hospital. All the patients received concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Radiotherapy was carried out with external radiotherapy and brachytherapy, concurrent chemotherapy with cisplatin(40 mg/m2, weekly), TAP was detected in different time points pre- , intro- and post- chemoradiotherapy, the dynamic changes of TAP pre- and post- chemoradiotherapy were compared and analyzed, and the relationships between TAP and clinical features and 2-year survival rate were further analyzed. Results TAP was significantly correlated with vaginal invasion, tumor size, lymph node metastasis and clinical stage (P < 0.05), the positive rate of TAP preand post- treatment was 65/89 (73.0%) and 27/89 (30.3%), respectively; the difference was statistically significant(P < 0.05). TAP status after chemoradiotherapy were closely related to 2-year survival rate of the patients (P < 0.05).Further analysis of Cox regression showed that TAP after chemoradiotherapy and clinical stage were independent prognostic factors of cervical cancer. Conclusion TAP can reflect the degree of disease progression in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer, which can be used as a prognostic factor.
