Management of oligo-metastatic and oligo-recurrent cervical cancer: A pattern of care survey within the EMBRACE research network

Chemo-radiation and image guided brachytherapy for cervix cancer is associated with excellent local control and disease-free survival in women with locally advanced cervix cancer. With advances in image guided brachytherapy and improved ability to dose escalate primary tumour and nodal targets, there is an evolving pattern of failure in aptients with cervix cancer. In the modern series, the predominant site of failure is distant followed by para-aortic nodal, local and pelvic nodal failure [1 –4].
