The Safety and Efficacy of Intra-Arterial versus Intravenous Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Patients with Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer: A Meta-Analysis.

Conclusion: Platinum-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy was well tolerated in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer and showed moderate response activity. Compared to intravenous neoadjuvant chemotherapy, intra-arterial neoadjuvant chemotherapy had an evident advantage in terms of the clinical response while maintaining a similar toxicity rate. The clinical efficacy of intra-arterial neoadjuvant chemotherapy deserves further evaluation. PMID: 32184892 [PubMed]
