- Abstract
Although patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have frequently accompanying malignancies, there are few documented cases in the literature of advanced cervical cancer patients with SLE. This report describes a case of advanced cervical cancer in a 39-year-old patient with a 20-year history of SLE (FIGO stage IIIb) and evaluates the immunological response of the tumor. The clinical course of this patient with SLE, with rapid growth of cervical cancer and a poor prognosis, may suggest that T cells play a key role in the growth of cancer.
