Red Flag Origin

DefinitionFrailty profile precluding standard cisplatin-based chemoradiation in cervical cancer: ECOG ≥3, OR (age ≥75 with Charlson ≥3), OR composite (age ≥70 + albumin <3.0 + ≥2 comorbidities). Routes to carboplatin-CRT substitution or RT-alone (less efficacy but tolerable).

Notes

Cisplatin radiosensitizer requires CrCl ≥60 — elderly often fall below. Carboplatin-CRT (AUC 2 weekly) is acceptable substitute when cisplatin intolerable, though less radiosensitizing per non-randomized comparisons. Frail elderly with severe comorbidity: RT-alone (≥80 Gy total to point A via brachytherapy boost) preserves curative intent without chemo toxicity — 5y OS lower (~50% vs ~70% for CRT in stage III) but meaningful palliation. Avoid bevacizumab in elderly with HTN / vascular disease.
