Brief summary: This is a mutlicentric, open-label non-randomized, national, 2-stage phase II trial to assess efficacy and safety of a weekly Carboplatin-Paclitaxel adjuvant chemotherapy after intensity modulated extended-field chemoradiation in patient suffering from of locally advanced cervical cancer with para-aortic positive nodes.

Detailed description: This is a mutlicentric, open-label non-randomized, national, 2-stage phase II trial to assess efficacy and safety of a weekly Carboplatin-Paclitaxel adjuvant chemotherapy after intensity modulated extended-field chemoradiation in patient suffering from of locally advanced cervical cancer with para-aortic positive nodes.

Patients

* will be registered in the first part of the study at diagnosis and will receive a first part of treatment corresponding to a standard of care (standard concomitant radio-chemotherapy, "Part 1 of the study").
* will be included in the second part of the study for the second part of treatment (experimental adjuvant chemotherapy, "Part 2 of the study"), providing they fulfill eligibility criteria at this stage (no progression during Part 1 of the study and no medical contra-indication to the study treatment).

The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy with Carboplatin-Paclitaxel administrated in adjuvant situation after concomitant radio-chemotherapy in terms of Progression Free Survival (PFS) in patients treated for a locally advanced cervical cancer presenting positive lombo-aortic lymph nodes.

Eligibility criteria: PART 1:

Inclusion Criteria:

* Female patient aged more than 18 years old
* Histological diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma or adenosquamous cell carcinoma of the cervix
* With locally advanced cervical cancer (FIGO stage IIIC2)
* With para-aortic or iliac common nodes positive on PET-scan or after laparoscopic surgical staging if PET-scan negative
* ECOG Performance Status ≤ 2
* Adequate hematologic function: Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≥ 1,500/mm3, platelets ≥ 100,000/mm3, hemoglobin ≥ 10g/dL
* Adequate renal function: creatinine clearance (estimated according to MDRD formula) ≥ 60ml/min/1.73m²
* Adequate hepatic function: Aspartate aminotransferase (ALT)/ Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 × upper normal limit (UNL); Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x UNL (except in case of Gilbert's disease)
* Negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to treatment for women of childbearing potential. For non-menopaused women, if not surgically sterilized, willing to accept the use of an effective contraceptive regimen during the treatment period and at least 6 months after the end of treatment
* Absence of contraindication to receive the products used in this study (products used in concomitant/ adjuvant chemotherapy) according to the most recent SmPC of these products (available at http://base-donnees-publique.medicaments.gouv.fr/)
* Patient is willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study including undergoing treatment and scheduled visits and examinations including follow-up
* Patient covered by the French "Social Security" regime

* Patient with bilateral hydronephrosis unless at least one side has been stented
* Prior diagnosis of Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis or sclerodermia
* Other uncontrolled intercurrent disease including, but not limited to: active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia
* Known hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs, study drug classes, or excipients in the formulation
* Pregnant or breastfeeding woman,
* Participation in another therapeutic trial with an experimental molecule for the current disease

* Person under guardianship or curatorship

PART 2:

Inclusion Criteria:

* Maintained consent
* Adequate hematologic function: Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≥ 1,500/mm3, platelets ≥ 100,000/mm3, hemoglobin ≥ 10g/dL

  * extended field CT-RT delivered by IMRT: 45-50Gy according the dosimetry limitation histogram dose volume (HDV) in whole pelvis and Para Aortic volumes + concomitant boost on macroscopic nodes defined as PET-positive
  * associated with weekly Cisplatin (40mg/m²)
  * followed by image guided brachytherapy. Patient will be eligible even in case of temporary stop of radiation therapy, provided she has received a total dose of 45Gy and a concomitant boost. Patient should have received at least 3 injections of Cisplatin 40mg/m² during radiation therapy.

Exclusion Criteria:
