Studies - CRT

Study 1 - 1989 - 1996 UK
33 patients with stage II A/B were treated with the chemotherapy of Single Agent Carboplatin(C) and then Radiation Therapy(RT) . Those 33 were compared to 80 that were treated with RT alone. The 5 year relapse free survival rate (RFS) for the 33 treated with CRT was 96.9%. The 5 year RFS of the 80 treated with RT alone was 80.7%.

Study 2 (Same Medical Group) - 1998 - 2006 UK
26 patients treated with CRT. There was no reported grade 3/4 toxicity. Their 3 year RFS is 100%.


Dr. Logsdon talked with these doctors in person about treating me with this method. The doctors were happy to hear it from what I've been told. Dr. Miller gave me all my options but was leaning towards CRT for sure. CRT it is.
