Abstract

Solid tumors following myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) are rare and have no uniform treatment guidelines. The current study presents a rare case of a 47‑year‑old female diagnosed with cervical cancer (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage IIIB) with an eight‑year history of MDS. A multidisciplinary treatment discussion was organized and a rigorous treatment plan was developed. With injection of granulocyte colony‑stimulating factor and interleukin‑11 factor, transfusion of red blood cell suspension and close monitoring of the blood count, the patient was administered radiotherapy, specifically intensity modulated radiation therapy. However, a degree IV bone marrow suppression repeatedly assaulted, leading to interruption of the radiotherapy treatment. Eventually, the total dose received by point A (2 cm above the cervical os marker and 2 cm perpendicular to the uterine axis along the plane of the uterus) was 51 Gy. One month later, a gynecological examination and magnetic resonance imaging of the pelvis revealed that the treatment resulted in a complete remission. In conclusion, radiation therapy can still be implemented to obtain satisfactory local control when the hematopoietic function of the bone marrow is weakened due to long‑term MDS.
