Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer
Conditions
Keywords
Cervical cancer, Nimotuzumab, Intensity-modulated radiation therapy, Concurrent chemoradiotherapy
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility and efficacy of preoperative nimotuzumab injection combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy for initially inoperable, locally advanced cervical cancer.
Interventions
Nimotuzumab 200mg per week will be administered concurrent with platinum-based chemotherapy and intensity-modulated radiation therapy. After the preoperative treatment, patients will be assessed for tumor response and operability. For those who are considered to be candidates for operation, radical surgery will be performed. \--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
