Abstract
- It is estimated that approximately 35% of patients with invasive cervical cancer will have recurrent or persistent disease following therapy. The common metastatic sites of recurrent cervical cancer included the lung, liver and vertebra, however, colon metastases from cervical cancer were extremely rare. Recently we experienced a case of colonic metastasis in a patient with cervical cancer who had been treated with radiation and chemotherapy. We present this case with a brief review of literature.
