Abstract:
Cervical cancer is a common malignant tumor in gynecology, and its morbidity and mortality rates rank the fourth among female malignant tumors. Lymph node metastasis is the most important pattern of metastasis and a critical independent prognostic factor for cervical cancer. Considering the high missed diagnosis rate of para-aortic lymph node metastasis, and the high treatment failure rate caused by para-aortic lymph node metastasis after cervical cancer treatment, a small number of clinicians have applied preventive extended-field radiotherapy in the treatment of patients with Ⅲ B and Ⅲ c1 cervical cancer in recent years. This article reviews the prognosis and side effects of preventive extended-field radiotherapy in patients with stage Ⅲ B and Ⅲ c1 cervical cancer.
