Study of a Strategy Integrating Adjuvant Radiation Therapy Versus Strategy Based on Monitoring in the Treatment of Carcinomas Spinocellular With High Risk of Recurrence
Randomized Comparative Multicenter Phase III Study of a Strategy Integrating Adjuvant Radiation Therapy Versus Strategy Based on Monitoring in the Treatment of Carcinomas Spinocellular With High Risk of Recurrence
Centre Leon Berard
266 participants

INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate a strategy integrating adjuvant radiation therapy versus strategy based on monitoring in the treatment of carcinomas spinocellular with high risk of recurrence (SCC). The investigators will compare the disease-free survival (DFS) of patients treated with adjuvant radiation therapy versus surveillance in high risk of recurrence SCC. The main question it aims to answer is: Is DFS different between the "adjuvant radiotherapy" group and the "surveillance" group? Participants will: * be distributed in one of the two arms * will be followed up every 4 months for 2 years, then every 6 months (clinical examination, identification of concomitant treatments, imaging, quality-of-life questionnaire) * followed up until their death or their progression whether local, regional or metastatic

Interventions
Patients will receive an adjuvant radiotherapy corresponding to an equivalent dose of 45 to 50 Gy (Equivalent Dose in 2 Gy Fractions \[EQD2\] with a tumor alpha/beta ratio of 10 Gy) delivered on the operating bed. Patients will be treated by : * either external radiation therapy using high-energy electrons or photons: * 45 Gy in 15 fractions of 3 Gy * 50 Gy in 25 fractions of 2 Gy * or interstitial brachytherapy or brachytherapy via skin applicators: * 36 Gy in 8 fractions of 4.5 Gy * 36 Gy in 9 fractions of 4 Gy * 40 Gy in 8 fractions of 5 Gy Radiation therapy should be started within 8 weeks after surgery (or 10 if delayed healing). Patients will be monitored regularly until the date of the first relapse (local, regional or metastatic), or until the date of death (if no relapse). Regardless of the type of relapse, remedial treatments will be left to the the investigator's discretion up to the first metastatic relapse.
