Ten women with locally advanced cervical cancer has been investigated. The Group 1 has been consisted of 6 (60%) patients with primary uterine artery chemoembolization. In the Group 2 were 4 (40%) women in whom the endovascular procedure was performed after courses of chemoradiotherapy. Tumor size changes were evaluated using the magnetic resonance imaging. Results. After 3 months in the Group 1 patients a significant regression of the tumor size was observed. In the Group 2 there were no a significant regression of the tumor size. Выводы. Palliative uterine artery chemoembolization may be used in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer.
