Abstract Objective: To explore and evaluate the neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NAC) and embolism for advanced cervical carcinoma before operation.

According to FIGO(2003), 13 cases were stage IIa, 34 cases were stage IIb, 15 cases were stage III, 6 cases were stage IV, including 63 cases squamous cell carcinoma, 5 cases adenocarcinoma. Results: All patients had no vagina bleeding after interventional procedure, including 63 cases succeeding in resection of tumor, the successful procedure rate reached 93%. Conclusion: NAC and embolism can reduce clinical symptoms and raise the successful operation rate. It provides an effective auxiliary treatment for uterine cervical carcinoma in the middle and late stage.
