Popis: Objective The present study aims to compare the efficacy and side effects of a platinum-containing combination regimen and platinum single-drug concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) in patients with advanced cervical cancer (CC) and to understand the prognostic factors in patients with CC.Methods A total of 108 cases of CC treated in Wenzhou Central Hospital were retrospectively selected. Patients in the monotherapy (single-drug) group received external pelvic radiotherapy (RT) and platinum-based single-drug chemotherapy (CT). Patients in the combined group received external pelvic RT and platinum-containing CT. The efficacy, CCRT time, 3-year survival rate after treatment and side effects were compared between the two groups, and the prognostic factors were analysed.Results The total effective rate was 74.07% in the monotherapy group and 72.22% in the combined group (p = .828). The incidences of myelosuppression, gastrointestinal reaction and abnormal liver function in the grades III–IV combined group were significantly higher than those in the monotherapy group (p
