  • The study evaluates the effectiveness of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) combined with concurrent radiochemotherapy (RCT) in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer, focusing on survival rates and prognostic factors.
  • A total of 207 patients with stages IIB-IIIB cervical carcinoma were analyzed, revealing a 5-year overall survival rate of 78% and a disease-specific survival rate of 84%.
  • Results showed that NACT led to higher objective response rates compared to exclusive RCT, with complete pathological responses observed in 61.2% of surgically treated patients.
