CONCLUSION: The results indicate that NAC followed by surgery plus postoperative chemotherapy but no radiotherapy offers a viable option in the treatment of stage IB2-IIB cervical cancer. Although a relatively large incidence of postsurgical complications was observed among low-BMI patients, this treatment offers the advantage of minimizing radiation-induced morbidity, allowing...

Human papilloma virus often lurks in cervical tissue, and it can cause cancer there. But the infection is also often benign, particularly among young women. Biomarkers of transformation are proving useful in helping cytologists to decide when a suspicious-looking Pap result is truly a sign of trouble. (Source: Cancer Network)
