Which is the best timing to assess response after chemoradiation in locally advanced cervical cancer (BRILACC)? Open
Our findings suggest that 6 months following the end of exclusive treatment for LACC patients is the best time to detect complete radiological response (measured by MRI scan) after chemoradiation. Waiting this period of time before conclus…
