About

The purpose of this study is to determine the therapeutic efficacy and complications of systemic consolidation therapy with paclitaxel plus carboplatin following radical hysterectomy and adjuvant chemoradiation for high risk early stage cervical cancer.

Full description

Systemic consolidation therapy with paclitaxel plus carboplatin (3 cycles per 3 weeks) following radical hysterectomy and adjuvant chemoradiation (3 cycles per 3 weeks) for high risk early stage cervical cancer will elevate the therapeutic efficacy by removing the microscopic metastatic lesions which could not be identified by naked eye and diagnostic imaging tests.
