Abstract: Local recurrence is more frequent in postoperative cervical cancer patients with high-risk factors. It is confirmed that adjuvant pelvic radiotherapy (RT) for the cervical cancer patients after surgery with high-risk factors can improve local control but can′t improve the overall survival. Researches show that concurrent chemo-radiotherapy (CCRT) can improve survival rates compared with radiotherapy, but the adverse effects such as leucopenia and gastrointestinal toxicity are observed frequently. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has been developed to deliver a high radiation dose to an irregular target volume, with relative sparing of adjacent normal tissues. IMRT has excellent local tumor control and overall survival.
