Core Tip
Core Tip: There is currently no specific Western medical treatment for managing the toxicity associated with radiotherapy in cervical cancer, making treatment challenging. Non-Western medicines may be less toxic and more effective than Western medicines. However, further evidence is required to substantiate these benefits.
