Abstract
Introduction. Women with locally advanced cervical cancer often treated with palliative uterine artery chemoembolization. Material and methods. Ten women with locally advanced cervical cancer has been investigated. The Group 1 has been consisted of 6 (60%) patients with primary uterine artery chemoembolization. In the Group 2 were 4 (40%) women in whom the endovascular procedure was performed after courses of chemoradiotherapy. Tumor size changes were evaluated using the magnetic resonance imaging. Results. After 3 months in the Group 1 patients a significant regression of the tumor size was observed. In the Group 2 there were no a significant regression of the tumor size. Выводы. Palliative uterine artery chemoembolization may be used in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer. Primary uterine artery chemoembolization is more effective, than endovascular procedure after courses of chemoradiotherapy.
