Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effects and the side effects of three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy on recurrent cervical carcinoma with pelvic wall infiltration. Methods Twenty-one patients with recurrent cervical carcinoma infiltrating the pelvic wall were irradiated by three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy. The regimen was: total dose 30-52Gy,5-8.5Gy/f, 1f/2d. Results The rates of sciatic pain and leg edema relief response were 100 % and 61 % respectively. The CR+PR response rate was 71.4 %. The overall 1-, 2- and 3-year survival rates were 38 %, 14 % and 4 %. Conclusion Three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy is more effective than conventional radiotherapy and chemotherapy for recurrent cervical carcinoma infiltrating the pelvic wall. It doesn't increase the side-effects on the digestive system and the urinary system.
