Comparative StudyThe Treatment of Pelvic Locoregional Recurrence of Cervical Cancer After Radical Surgery With Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy Compared With Conventional Radiotherapy: A Retrospective Study.
The aim of this study was to investigate the therapeutic response and toxicity of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) or conventional radiotherapy (c-RT) as adjuvant therapy in patients with pelvic locoregional recurrence of cervical cancer after radical surgery. ⋯ Intensity-modulated radiation therapy achieved outcomes superior to c-RT in patients with pelvic locoregional recurrence of cervical cancer after radical surgery. The acute and chronic toxicities were acceptable, and the adjacent organs at risk were well protected.

Clinical Application of Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Uterine Cervical Cancer.
This study aimed to investigate the application value of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in evaluating histological type as well as pathologic grade of uterine cervical cancer; and to investigate whether ADC values could reflect tumor cellular density. ⋯ Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging has a potential ability to indicate the histologic type of uterine cervical cancer. Apparent diffusion coefficient measurements of uterine cervical cancer can represent tumor cellular density, thus providing a new method for evaluating the pathological grade of tumor.
