Hello, Treatment options in recurrent cervical cancer is very limited. The management mainly depends on the primary treatment received and the site and extent of recurrence. In your case as the patient had already received chemoradiation, so in case of recurrence the only viable option remains is of carboplatin or cisplatin based chemotherapy. Despite treatment, the prognosis is guarded.
