Abstract

Clinical observation of recurrent cervical and vaginal hemorrhage from a tumor in a 55-year-old patient with locally advanced cervical cancer is presented. The use of uterine artery embolization was ineffective. Subsequently, the following surgical interventions were performed: laparoscopy, clipping of internal iliac arteries on both sides, coagulation of gonadal arteries. Symptomatic radiation therapy to the pelvic region with hemostatic purpose based on vital indications was performed. Positive dynamics against the background of radiation therapy was noted: complete hemostasis was achieved. Conclusion. Symptomatic radiation therapy to the pelvic region can be applied with hemostatic purpose for vital indications in case of insufficient effectiveness of traditional methods to stop cervical and vaginal hemorrhage in patients with advanced cervical cancer. Key words: radiation therapy, cervical cancer, surgical treatment, cervical and vaginal hemorrhage, uterine artery embolization
