Achieving a five-year overall survival of 58%, platinum-based induction chemotherapy followed by thermoradiotherapy is an effective treatment for advanced-stage high-risk cervical cancer. However, treatment is accompanied by an unacceptably high prevalence of chemotherapy-associated TEE and acute kidney injury, as well as chronic kidney disease. Future studies should investigate the role of carboplatin in reducing toxicity and the effect of thromboprophylaxis in high-risk patients.
