Abstract

Cervical carcinoma is a common cancer. Metastatic disease will develop in 15% to 61% percent women, usually within the first two years of completing treatment. We present a case of a 56-year-old patient with a Stage IIIB carcinoma of the cervix, treated with chemoradiation, brachytherapy and surgery. Nine months after completion of primary treatment, she presented with latero-aortic metastatic adenomegalies. She received six courses of chemotherapy carboplatin+paclitaxel+bevacizumab, followed by maintenance by bevacizumab. After ten months of bevacizumab and three years after the diagnosis, the patient is alive, without further evidence of disease.
