Bilateral cervical cancer in a complete septate uterus with a double cervix and vagina: a case report
Cervical cancer is one of the most common malignant tumours of female reproductive system. Concurrent chemoradiotherapy is the standard treatment for locally advanced cervical cancer and brachytherapy is an irreplaceable part of cervical cancer radiotherapy. However, bilateral cervical cancer in a c...

description | Cervical cancer is one of the most common malignant tumours of female reproductive system. Concurrent chemoradiotherapy is the standard treatment for locally advanced cervical cancer and brachytherapy is an irreplaceable part of cervical cancer radiotherapy. However, bilateral cervical cancer in a complete septate is extremely rare. There is no standard consensus on the therapeutic management or follow-up owing to the rarity of this condition. This current case report presents an unusual case of a 25-year-old female patient with a double vagina and double uterus combined with a stage IIIC1r moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma in both cervices. This report introduces a treatment plan involving concurrent chemoradiotherapy for this rare and interesting case, focusing on a novel brachytherapy method, in which an intrauterine applicator, an applicator and an implantation needle were used. The tumours shrank significantly after chemotherapy and the novel brachytherapy. |
