Brief Summary

The main objective of this study is to determine whether neoadjuvant chemotherapy with Carboplatin and paclitaxel plus standard cisplatin-based chemoradiation with extended fields improves overall survival rates compared to standard therapy alone in women with cervical cancer with paraaortic lymph node involvement. Women in the experimental arm will receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel every 21 days during 3 cycles followed by standard therapy with extended field external radiation therapy and concomitant chemotherapy. Women in the control arm will receive standard therapy with extended field external radiation therapy and concomitant chemotherapy. 310 patients will be recruited during 4.5 years, with 3 years of follow up period.
