Gastrointestinal Cancer Found in the Cervix With Unknown Primary Site and Treated With Definitive Chemoradiation
1College of Medicine, University of Arizona, Tucson, USA.
Abstract:
Locally advanced gastrointestinal cancers and cervical cancers are usually treated with a multimodality approach. Our case report shows a patient who was found to have gastrointestinal cancer in the cervix, and no primary gastrointestinal cancer was found on workup. She underwent chemoradiation to the pelvis with concurrent capecitabine and then underwent cervical brachytherapy with tandem and ovoid. She initially had done well but then noticed increased symptoms at follow-ups. Unfortunately, she was found to have residual disease about 16 months after the completion of treatment. There have been no reports of treatment of gastrointestinal cancer in the cervix with an unknown primary site in the literature to our knowledge.
