Abstract:
Embolization therapy for control of bleeding has an important therapeutic role in gynecologic malignancies. This is the first report of a pelvic abscess as a sequela of embolic treatment for bleeding cervical cancer in a patient simultaneously receiving radiotherapy. Other complications of transcatheter embolizationare reviewed. Methods of preventing complications when embolization and radiation are combined are discussed.
