Our aim was to review our experience with sequential adjuvant therapy using cisplatin and ifosfamide chemotherapy and radiotherapy after surgical staging. A retrospective study of 43 patients from 1995 to 2004 was undertaken. Survival was calculated using the Kaplan–Meier method and compared by the log-rank test. The Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to assess the effect of treatment on survival after adjustment for age and stage. Twenty-eight patients received adjuvant chemotherapy and 28 patients had adjuvant radiotherapy. Twenty-one patients underwent sequential adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Tumor recurrence occurred in 14 patients at a median duration of 10 months. The overall 2- and 5-year survival was 64% and 60%, respectively. The 2- and 5-year survival for stage I and II diseases was both 95%, while the 2-year survival for stage III and IV diseases was 25%. Patients who underwent sequential adjuvant therapy had an improved survival compared with patients who did not follow the protocol (P = 0.024). Our results with sequential adjuvant therapy are encouraging and justify future randomized trials. %U https://ijgc.bmj.com/content/ijgc/16/3/1364.full.pdf
