Les chimioradiothérapies dans les cancers du col utérin

Summary ent of uterine cervix carcinomas is based on radiotherapy and surgery. Prognosis of advanced carcinoma leads to the proposal of many combinations. Only concurrent radio-chemotherapy demonstrated some interests. Combination of radiotherapy and radiosensitisers failed to demonstrate any advantage and in some instances was associated with an adverse effect. Hydroxyurea and mitomycin C alone or associated were extensively tested without benefit. From modern combinations and recent studies, we could conclude that only cisplatin (and probably its derivates) can be included in future trials.
