Ureteric strictures in patients with cancer of the cervix uteri
The study analyzed 40 patients with cancer of the cervix uteri with evolving ureteric stricture after combined surgery or only radiotherapy. The highest rate of ureteric strictures was shown to occur in patients with Stage III tumor process (23%) and after combined treatment (90%). All the patients underwent a complex examination, involving clinical laboratory studies, ultrasound diagnosis, excretory urography, and renal scintigraphy, both before initiation of treatment and at different stages. Indications for treatments for ureteric strictures and management tactics for this cohort of patients were identified.
