The Choice Between Definitive Radiotherapy and Surgery for Cervical Cancer With Different Histology in Current Clinical Practice

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For cervical cancer, the choice between definitive radiotherapy (RT) and surgery has long been a topic of debate. Clinical factors, including histology and tumor burden, have been examined in prior studies. Given recent advances in RT and the incorporation of concurrent chemotherapy, our study seeks to assess the optimal treatment modality for
