Abstract

Neuroendocrine tumours of cervix are rare variety of carcinoma cervix. They have aggressive behaviour and poor outcome in most of the cases. They account for around 0.4% of all cancers of cervix. Rarity of this tumour makes it difficult to establish a management protocol. Here we report such a case where a different concurrent chemoradiotherapy plan was followed and patient showed good response.
