Aims: The present study was aimed to assess the impact of Hyperthermia along with Radiotherapy on the outcomes of treatment in locally advanced carcinoma cervix. Materials and Methods: Present study is a retrospective analysis of cancer cervix patients treated with radiotherapy and hyperthermia+/- chemotherapy from Jan 2012 to Jan 2018. Total twenty patients were included in this study. Among Twenty patients 12 patients received (HT+RT) while 8 patients received chemotherapy along with hyperthermia and Radiotherapy, (HT+RT+CT). All patients received EBRTdose 50 Gy in 25 fractions and 5 weeks. All patients were prescribed once a week or twice a week hypertermia for 5 weeks along with radiotherapy. Boost was given to primary disease either via brachytherapy or EBRT. Results: Complete response observed 75% of patients in RT+HT group. Similarly in RT+HT+CT group also 75% patients had complete response. Mean overall survival of 46.98 months with a median follow up time of 22 months. On univariate analysis significant impact of Hyperthermia fractions with (Hazard Ratio = 6.426 (95% CI 1.06 – 38.80), P value = 0.021) and radiation boost with (Hazard Ratio = 4.32 (95% CI 0.86 – 21.48), P value = 0.049) observed. On multivariate near about significance for Hyperthermia Fractions once a week as compared to twice a week (Hazard Ratio = 20.08 (95% CI 1.33 – 303.74), (P value = 0.030). Four patients developed pelvic recurrence. Mean recurrence free survival was 41.17 months. Kaplan Meier survival analysis was used as univariate analysis. P- value < 0.05 considered statistical significant. Conclusion: Combination of hyperthermia and radiotherapy shows better over all survival and hyperthermia is good option in patients with locally advanced carcinoma cervix who are not eligible for chemotherapy.
