Abstract
The overall survival outcomes in this group of women with locally advanced cervical carcinomas treated with chemoradiotherapy are comparable to worldwide data. Despite the use of modern treatment protocols, a significant proportion of women developed locoregional recurrences and distant failures. Many poor prognostic factors have been identified as contributors to this, including pelvic nodal involvement, incomplete brachytherapy, pretreatment hemoglobin <120 g/L, and treatment time over 8 weeks.
