title: Late recurrent carcinoma of the cervix: a report of an unusual case and course.
abstract: A patient with late recurrence of squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix after full course irradiation is presented. The recurrence was extensive and not amenable to surgery. She was reirradiated utilizing special treatment techniques and fields which resulted in long-term survival with acceptable morbidity. The need for case selection and individualization of treatment for patients with late recurrence is discussed.
