Neuroendocrine Carcinoma of Uterine Cervix: Stereotactic Radiotherapy for Brain Metastasis and Stereotactic Body...

A case of cervical neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) of the uterine cervix (NECUC) was presented. After total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy, a left renal tumor and a pancreatic lesion developed and were both diagnosed on pathological examination as metastases from NEC. In addition, a brainstem metastasis causing neurologic signs developed. The brain lesion was treated by stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) and the renal and pancreatic lesions by stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). Despite control of the renal and pancreatic lesions, multiple small lung metastases developed later. Recurrence and newly developed brain metastases were treated by repeat stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS)/SRT successfully. Chemotherapy was continued and controlled the lung metastases until three and a half years after the initial operation of the uterus.
