title: Successful treatment of neuroendocrine small cell carcinoma of the cervix metastatic to regional lymph nodes.
abstract: Neuroendocrine small cell carcinoma of the cervix is an aggressive tumor that is associated with a poor prognosis. No reports have described a patient with metastatic spread who has had long-term survival. A patient with neuroendocrine small cell carcinoma of the cervix metastatic to regional lymph nodes who is free of disease 92 months after multimodality treatment with radiation, surgery, and chemotherapy is described in this paper.
