Objective:
To investigate the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on cervical carcinoma and its association with clinical data.
Methods:
A total of 97 patients with stage Ib2 approximately IIIa of cervical cancinoma were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The effect of chemotherapy, factors associated with outcome of chemotherapy, and histology were analyzed.
Results:
Effective rate of chemotherapy was 86.6% which was associated with clinical stage and histology. Eight-four patients received radical hysterectomy. The histological grade of 17 patients was lowered, lymph nodes in 19 patients were positive, and 6 patients had parametrium invasion. One patient died within 1 year after the operation, and 5 patients recurred.
Conclusion:
The effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced cervical cancinoma is good. Surgery after chemotherapy can improve the prognosis and 5-year survival rate.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
