Usage of CT and tumor markers in the management of a patient with cervical cancer after colpocleisis for uterine prolapse

  • 1. Kochi Municipal Hospital, Kochi (Japan)

Description

A 79-year-old woman developed stage IIIb cervical carcinoma 13 years after colpocleisis for uterine prolapse. The patient was treated with external irradiation of 60 Gy and chemotherapy with 5-FU (100 mg/day) and Ok-432. The response of tumor could be monitored by serial changes in tumor markers, such as SCC, IAP, TPA, CEA, LDH, and ALP, and CT findings. Considering that colpocleisis makes it impossible to visualize the uterine cervix, the adequate selection of surgical procedure for uterine prolapse is required. (Namekawa, K.)
