Author Name: VIRGINIA A. CIROLLA;
Abstract
Cervical cancer remains a significant global health concern, especially in low-income countries. Radiotherapy, including external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) and brachytherapy, plays a pivotal role in the curative treatment of cervical cancer across various stages. This review outlines the epidemiology, diagnosis, staging, and treatment modalities for cervical cancer, emphasizing the efficacy and role of combined chemoradiotherapy and brachytherapy. The document includes a detailed clinical case, highlighting outcomes and management strategies. The integration of radiotherapy into a multidisciplinary approach has shown improved survival rates and quality of life for patients.
