ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of arterial interventional chemotherapy on bulky cervical cancer. Methods One hundred and twenty-six patients with bulky cervical cancer were randomly divided into two groups. Arterial interventional chemotherapy group(n =74, C gronp), and radiotherapy group(n =52 R group). Patients in C group underwent internal iliac arterial infusion chemotherapy by using Seldinger technique. The chemotherapy regimens of cervical squamous cell carcinoma were prescribed including cisplatin and BLM, and cervical adenocarcinoma were prescribed including cisplatin and ADM and VCR. Patients in R group were only given radiotherapy Ir192 high-dose rate intracavitary radiotherapy was performed with A point dose at 24 Gy. Both groups of patients were followed up after two weeks. Results The tumor regression rate of C group was 93.24 %, significantly higher than 71.15 % in R group(P 0.05). The 3-year recurrence rate between the two groups had obvious difference(P 0.05). Conclusion Neoadjuvant chemotherapy can effectively reduce tumor volume, and postoperative 3-year recurrence rate, increases surgery rate on bulky cervical cancer. But the effect on long-term survival rate needs to be evaluated further through long-term follow-up.
