Conversion-oriented multimodal therapy enabling definitive surgery in a patient with FIGO stage IVA cervical cancer at high risk of fistula formation: a case report
To report a case of FIGO stage IVA cervical squamous cell carcinoma and explore a multimodal treatment strategy aimed at facilitating radical surgery, addressing the challenges of existing treatment options.
Key Findings:
Emergent hemostatic radiotherapy achieved rapid bleeding control and clinical stabilization.
An individualized conversion-oriented strategy allowed for adaptive replanning based on tumor regression.
Marked tumor regression was achieved, leading to successful radical surgery and pathologic complete response.
Interpretation:
The case suggests that a multidisciplinary strategy incorporating IGRT-based monitoring may facilitate radical surgery in selected high-risk patients with FIGO stage IVA cervical cancer, highlighting the need for tailored approaches.
Limitations:
Further clinical validation is required to establish the efficacy of the proposed treatment strategy, particularly in diverse patient populations.
Conclusion:
An individualized multimodal approach may improve outcomes for high-risk FIGO stage IVA cervical cancer patients, but additional studies are necessary to confirm these findings and address current treatment challenges.
