Highlights:
• INTERLACE first randomised PH3 trial in Locally advanced cervical cancer in more than 2 decades to demonstrate a clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvement in both OS and PFS .
• The IC drugs are widely available and relatively cheap so removing many potential economic barriers to adoption.
• Growth factors -GCSF/Filgrastim should be used as needed to ensure patients complete the chemotherapy (IC & cisplatin)
• Essential to BEGIN the external beam radiation within 7 days of last dose ( #6) of IC.
• Remember OVERALL treatment time for the RADIATION- 96% in trial completed both EXTERNAL BEAM & BRACHYTHERAPY within 56 days.
