Analysis of cervical cancer cells treated with radio therapy or arterial infusion chemotherapy

Abstract

The present study was designed to analyze cervical cancer cells treated with radiotherapy or intraarterial infusion of CDDP using image analysis.
Total nuclear extinction (TE), 5 N-exceeding rate (5 NER) and nuclear area (NA) gradually increased following irradiation, in cervical cancer cases.
TE and 5 NER increased markedly following radiotherapy in good response cases. TE, 5 NER and NA were notchanged following irradiation in poor response cases.
5 NER, in good prognostic cases was higher than in poor prognostic cases, significantly among cervical cancer cases treated with radiotherapy.
5 NER and NA increased dramaticaly in good response cases treated with intraarterial infusion of CDDP.
