[Radiotherapy and radio-chemotherapy of cervical cancer]
Abstract
Radiotherapy has a significant role in the management of cervical cancer. Radiotherapy is indicated in two-thirds of all cervical cancer patients. Indications of radiotherapy are based on level I-II evidences in the vast majority of cases, although in some cases the use of radiotherapy is supported by the results of retrospective clinical trials. In this review, indications of curative and palliative irradiation and radio-chemotherapy are summarized and technological advances of contemporary external beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy are presented.
