title: Combined modality therapy of gynecologic cancer.
abstract: In the treatment of gynecologic malignancies, various combinations of surgery, drugs, and radiation therapy are used with increasing frequency. An examination is made of data dealing with combined modalities in the treatment of tumors of the cervix, endometrium, and ovary. Although the efficacy of such treatments has not been established, they are increasingly popular. Newer studies now being conducted, together with newer drugs employed in combination with radiation therapy and surgery, can result in the benefits which to date have not been realized.
