[Ureteral stenosis after treatment of uterine cervical cancer: post-radiotherapy fibrosis or neoplastic recurrence?].
Ureteral stricture occurring after radio surgical treatment of uterine cervix cancer does not necessarily express a recurrence of malignancy. The same radiological features may be seen after radiotherapy and then has an incomparably better prognosis. Having in mind the natural history of cancer of cervix we analysed 28 cases of such a tumor, treatment by radiotherapy and surgery. This study led us to defend several discriminating criteria between these 2 conditions. A diagnostic strategy is suggested.
