Neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced cervical carcinoma in pregnancy

Abstract

To the authors' knowledge, these reports constitute the first description of the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix in pregnancy (MEDLINE 1966-1997). This therapeutic option should be considered in selected women with locally advanced cervical carcinoma who do not want termination of their pregnancy.
