Abstract Objective This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of extended-field intensity-modulated radiation therapy combined with concurrent chemotherapy in patients with cervical cancer with positive para-aortic lymph nodes (PALN). Methods From September 2007 to December 2014, a total of 59 patients who had cervical cancer with para-aortic lymph node metastasis were treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy at our institution. A dose of 45–50.4 Gy in 25–28 fractions with extended-field intensity-modulated radiation therapy was prescribed to planning target volume, and a dose of 30–36 Gy in 5–6 fractions was prescribed to Point A with high-dose-rate brachytherapy. A concurrent first-line cisplatin-based chemotherapy regimen was used. Results The median duration of follow-up was 32.1 months (range, 3.2–103.7 months). The 2- and 3-year overall survival, disease-free survival and local control rates were 69.0 and 52.8%, 45.0 and 41.3% and 83.4 and 81.0%, respectively. Distant metastasis was the major pattern of treatment failure, which occurred in 26 patients (44.1%). The incidence of Grade 3 or greater acute hematologic, gastrointestinal and genitourinary toxicity was 50.9, 1.7 and 3.4%, respectively. Only one patient had both Grade 3 late gastrointestinal and genitourinary toxicity. Conclusions The study found that extended-field intensity-modulated radiation therapy combined with concurrent chemotherapy was safe and effective in patients who had cervical cancer with positive PALN.
