CERVICAL CANCER
This study included patients with locally advanced cervical cancer, as defined by the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) 2018 staging: histologically proven uterine cervical cancer of FIGO stage IIB, IIIA, IIIB, IIIC1, or IVA. This study used physical examination and diagnostic imaging to determine staging rather than surgical diagnosis.
