NAC with PT follow radical surgery was confirmed to prolong disease-free survival, as compared with radical hysterectomy alone. The results of this study suggest that NAC with PT might be a useful adjunct to surgery in the treatment of stage II SCC presenting as a bulky mass.
LNRH is a safe and feasible surgical management for bulky-stage cervical cancer patients (lesion ≥ 6 cm), and after NAC, the urinary and intestinal function of patients in LNRH group showed better recovery compared with functions in the LRH group. The technique is relatively new, and its oncologic efficiency has not yet been fully established. Prospective randomised controlled studies with an increased number of patients and long-term postoperative follow-up should be carried out to investigate the effect of this therapeutic strategy for bulky-stage cervical cancer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
