Neoadjuvant intraarterial chemotherapy for stage IIB-IIIB cervical cancer in Japanese women.

Chemoradiotherapy is currently the main treatment for locally advanced cervical cancer, but neoadjuvant intraarterial chemotherapy (IA-NAC) has been reported to achieve favorable results. This study investigated the efficacy of several different IA-NAC regimens. The subjects were 55 patients with stage IIB-IIIB cervical cancer who received IA-NAC between January 1991 and April 2006.
