title: [Successful treatment of primary small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix].
abstract: Primary small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix is a rare disease and associated with poor prognosis. Currently there are no guidelines regarding optimal treatment for this disease. This case report describes a successful approach with chemotherapy traditionally used for small cell lung cancer combined with intensity-modulated radiotherapy with concomitant chemotherapy followed by image-guided adaptive brachytherapy.
