Abstract:
:In the past decade, neoadjuvant and concomitant multimodality therapies have been studied in patients with cervical cancer. The past year has witnessed more pilot studies confirming the feasibility of multimodality therapy. It is now time to move to prospective randomized clinical trials to determine the effects on disease-free intervals, to examine survival rates, and to define the ideal chemotherapeutic regimen and relationship to radiation therapy or surgery.
