High-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy for mucinous adenocarcinoma endocervical-type--a case study.

چکیده
BACKGROUND Adenocarcinoma in cervical cancer has poorer response rate to treatment and requires longer time to achieve complete remission than squamous cell carcinoma [1]. Lower response to chemotherapy and radiotherapy is observed [2,3,4,5] and the optimal management remains undefined [1,4,6,7]. CASE We report a case of a 58-year-old woman with bulky mucinous adenocarcinoma endocervical-type G1, treated previously with radiochemotherapy with no visible response. After subsequent interstitial HDR brachytherapy (iHDR-BT) complete local remission was achieved. CONCLUSION Interstitial HDR brachytherapy in bulky mucinous adenocarcinoma endocervical-type may be the best treatment choice that allows to receive a complete local response.
