Objective Compare the differences in survival prognosis of cervical cancer patients with lymph node metastasis under different treatment modalities, and explore the influence of related high-risk factors in the prognosis with different treatment. Methods The clinical data of a total of 102 cervical cancer patients accompanied by lymph node metastasis admitted to Peking University People's Hospital from January 2016 to January 2024 were reviewed. The survival outcomes of radical surgical followed by adjuvant therapy and radical concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) in patients with various high-risk factors were analyzed to guide the selection of clinical treatment regimens. Results ①A total of 52 patients in stageⅢCr, 44 patients in stage ⅢCp and 6 patients in stage Ⅳ were included. Among whom 65 patients underwent lymph node dissection followed by adjuvant therapy and 37 patients chose radical CCRT. There was no significant difference in the overall survival and disease-free survival between these two groups (P=0.934). ② Histopathological type,diameter of tumor lesion and parametrial infiltration were independent predictors of tumor recurrence and patient survival outcomes (P<0.05). The size of preoperative metastatic lymph nodes affects the choice of treatment methods. ③ The incidence of toxic and side effects in patients receiving dual treatment was 40.00%, which was significantly higher than that in the CCRT group. The incidences of hematological toxicity, radiation enteritis and cystitis in the latter group were higher than those in the former group. Conclusions Pathological type,diameter of tumor lesion,parauterine invasion, and the size of metastatic lymph nodes are important factors guiding the selection of treatment plans for cervical cancer patients accompanied by lymph node metastasis. It is necessary to combine clinical high-risk factors, the patient's general condition and will, and comprehensively formulating individualized treatment strategies.
