Abstract:
Neuroendocrine small cell carcinoma is very rare in comparison with carcinoma of the cervix. In addition, it causes quite often metastasizes and has high recurrence rates. Furthermore, the mortality rate is high even among patients with early stage disease treated with common chemotherapy. We described a recurrent case of neuroendocrine small cell carcinoma, in which radiation therapy was delivered successfully but the disease relapsed during postoperative chemotherapy.
