Objective: To discuss the application value of CT and MRI on advanced cervix cancer treated by Fuzheng Kangai Decoction combining RF local hyperthermia.
Method: Clinical and image profiles of 56 advancer cervix cancer patients treated by Fuzheng Kangai Decoction combining RF local hyperthermia were collected. All patients were randomly examined by CT or MRI before and after treatments. All images were researched and analyzed statistically by two separate experts.
Result: The 56 cases included 13 cases of Stage IIb, 32 cases of Stage III, and 11 cases of Stage IV. One case was treated by surgery because of colonic fistula caused by corpus uteri invasion. One case received double “J” tube implantation because of bilateral hydronephrosis and hydroureterosis. 23 cases’clinical stages were modified after image examination, among which 21 cases graded, two cases were downgraded, and nine cases were compared before and after treatments. The image diagnosed stage was influenced in three cases because of radiation proctitis.
Conclusion: Advanced cervix cancer patients treated by Fuzheng Kangai Decoction combining RF local hyperthermia achieved positive therapeutic effect. CT and MRI provided crucial directions to treatment.
