Radiation Therapy or Chemoradiation, Interstitial Brachytherapy in Combination With Hyperthermia in Advanced Cervical Cancer

August 10, 2017 updated by: University of Erlangen-Nürnberg Medical School

Multimodal Therapy of Advanced Cervical Cancer With Radiotherapy or Chemoradiation, Interstitial Brachytherapy in Combination With Hyperthermia

The combination of radiation therapy or chemoradiation with Interstitial brachytherapy for advanced cervical cancer (pN+, FIGO-Stage II B - IV A is standard of therapy. The radio- and chemosensitive effect of an additional hyperthermia might improve the clinical outcome.
