Multidisciplinary Therapeutic Approach In Cervical Cancer Patients

Abstract

Three hundred eleven patients were diagnosed histological as a cervix neoplasm in Vryheid District Hospital, Zululand Region, Kwazulu Natal Province from October 2004 until January 2008; one hundred ninety three patients were treated and followed up, 43 under multidisciplinary therapeutic approach and 150 with conventional modalities of treatments. One hundred eighteen patients weren’t properly treated and followed up, due to non treatment compliance and absenteeism to Primary Health Care and Hospital institutions. The Hysterectomies were necessary to be done in 58 patients from 193 total operated. The clinical evolution on the treated patients showed that the multidisciplinary approach was more effective than other isolated modalities of treatment. The level of recovering from their diseases on our 43 patients into the Natural and Bioenergetics Protocols was much better than others as well as the number of post operative and adjuvant complications were less. During the studied period 4 patients died from 43 into the Natural & Bioenergetics Protocols and 47 deaths were reported of 150 patients treated with conventional therapeutic modalities. The proper control, follow up and treatment of the patients affected by cervix neoplasm remains as a big challenge into the Health Department
