 Background : This study aimed to assess the in - field lymph node ( LN ) failure rate according to LN size and to investigate effect of LN size on the survival outcome of patients with locally advanced cervical carcinoma treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy ( CCRT ) . 
 Methods : A total of 310 patients with locally advanced cervical carcinoma treated with CCRT were enrolled in retrospective study . LN status was evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging . All patients received conventional external beam irradiation and high - dose rate brachytherapy , and concurrent cisplatin - based chemotherapy . In - field LN failure rate according to LN size was analyzed . 
 Conclusion : A LN of less than 10 mm in size in an imaging study is controlled by CCRT . On the other hand , in LN of more than 10 mm in size , the in - field LN failure rate increase and the prognosis deteriorate . Therefore , a more aggressive treatment strategy is needed .
