Methods: From May 2005 to May 2009, 36 patients with recurrent cervical cancer were treated by 3D-CRT of 60-66 Gy and TP (docetaxel 70 mg/m^2, d1; cisplatin 20 mg/m^2, dl-d3; 21 days per cycle, totally 2 cycles) concurrent chemotherapy. Results: All of the patients had finished the 3D-CRT, the total response rate, complete response rate and partial response rate were 80.0% (28/35), 45.7% (16/35), and 34.3% (12/35), respectively. The pain-alleviation rate was 91.4% (32/35). The hemorrhage control rate was 94.3% (33/35). The median overall survival was 21.2 months. The 1-, 2- and 3-year survival rates were 54.3%, 37.1% and 22.8%, respectively. The life qualities of the patients were improved, without any treatment related death. Conclusion: Radiotherapy is effective and well-tolerated for recurrent cervical cancers, and it can promote regional control of the disease and prolong survival time.展开更多
