Background: Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) is standard treatment for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC). However, little is known on the real-world treatment patterns and outcomes among LACC patients. This study evaluated patient characteristics and treatment patterns of LACC patients, and real-world outcomes among patients receiving CCRT as the first treatment after diagnosis (CCRT-first) in US academic and community settings. Methods: Data were drawn from the ConcertAI Oncology Dataset, a US-based electronic medical record dataset. We included adult patients diagnosed between 2010-2018 with LACC, defined as stage IB2-IIB with node involvement or stage III-IVA cervical cancer, with squamous cell carcinoma (excl. verrucous), adenocarcinoma (excl. clear cell and endometroid), or adenosquamous carcinoma. Patients with prior immunotherapy or a second primary cancer (other than in situ or non-melanoma skin cancer) were excluded. Patients were followed from initial diagnosis through end of the second regimen of systemic anti-cancer therapy, end of record, or death, whichever occurred first. Patient characteristics and treatments were reported overall and in CCRT-first patients. Among CCRT-first patients, real-world time on CCRT treatment (rwTOT), recurrence-free survival (rwRFS), and progression-free survival (rwPFS) among patients with persistent disease were estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods. Results: Overall, 300 patients with LACC were included. At LACC diagnosis, median age of patients was 51 years, 53.7% were White, 30.0% were Black, 48.0% were peri/postmenopausal, 89.3% had squamous cell histology, 75.3% had stage III disease, 92.7% had no evidence of performance status impairment, 50.3% were treated in community settings, and 21.7% had only public insurance (11.0% Medicaid, 10.7% Medicare; 56.3% had no documentation of insurance). Distributions were similar among CCRT-first patients. First treatment after diagnosis included CCRT (N=229), surgery (N=28), systemic therapy (N=11), and radiation therapy alone (N=5). 27 were untreated, and 29 patients received CCRT after another therapy. Of the 229 CCRT-first patients, median (95% CI) rwTOT was 1.6 (1.4-1.7) months; 78.2% received cisplatin within CCRT, and median duration of cisplatin treatment was 35 days; 28.4% received a systemic therapy after CCRT, and 11.8% further initiated a second systemic therapy. 27 patients had recurrent disease after complete response (median rwRFS not reached). 179 patients had persistent disease after CCRT, among whom median (95% CI) rwPFS was 29.7 (16.9-59.3) months from CCRT start. Conclusions: In US clinical practice during 2010-2018, most LACC patients received CCRT as the first treatment after diagnosis. The high proportion of patients who develop persistent disease after CCRT indicates a need for improved first treatment options.
