Abstract

We report the case of a 37-year-old woman with a right ventricular mass (detected by echocardiography and PET-CT) associated with cervical cancer. After radiation therapy there was no more evidence for a mass in the right ventricle. We wish to stress that, although the outcome for cervical cancer with cardiac metastases is still very poor, prognosis has improved with advanced imaging technology and radiation therapy.

摘要

我们报告了一例37岁女性患者，其右心室有一肿物（经超声心动图和正电子发射断层显像-计算机断层扫描[PET-CT]检测发现），与宫颈癌相关。放疗后，右心室肿物不再有证据显示存在。我们希望强调，尽管伴有心脏转移的宫颈癌预后仍然很差，但先进的成像技术和放疗已使预后有所改善。
