ADENOCARCINOMA OF THE CERVIX IN A RENAL-TRANSPLANT PATIENT

Treatment of cervical carcinoma in a renal transplant patient with a s ingle pelvic kidney presents several management dilemmas, Standard tre atment modalities are complicated by the patient's immunosuppressed st ate and the location of the transplanted kidney in the standard pelvic field, as well as other surgical risks, No information on the best ap proach to this clinical situation is available in the English language literature, We present this case to discuss factors considered in sel ecting a treatment plan and possible reasons for the rapid recurrence and demise of this patient.
