Abstract:
Pelvic exenteration,first line salvage therapy for selected recurrent cervical cancer patients,is accompanied by a high operative mortality and loss of structure and function of pelvic organs.Advances in radiation therapy,especially 3-dimensional brachytherapy and stereotactic body radiotherapy,provide the opportunity to achieve similar efficacy of pelvic exenteration with acceptable complications and protect the structure and function of pelvic organs.
