[Long-term results of comprehensive treatment for cervical cancer with poor prognosis].

The data on a randomized treatment of 100 patients with locally advanced cervical carcinoma are discussed. Half of the patients received complex therapy while the rest--radiation alone (control). The modality also included immunotherapy with epithalamin 100 mg, intramuscularly, neoadjuvant intraarterial polychemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil 2 g/m2 and cisplatin 100 mg/m2, concurrent radiotherapy with an interval and 4-6 courses of adjuvant polychemotherapy. As a consequence, short-term results improved by 18.8% in cases tumor size under T3; end-results--by 14%. Improvement in survival was accounted for by causing tumor process to slow down considerably. The adjuvant polychemotherapy component was thought to be responsible for a 25.4% increase in one-year survival and 12.5%--in 3-year survival.
