Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the
growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.
Radiation therapy uses high-energy x rays to kill tumor cells. Giving cisplatin together with
radiation therapy may be an effective treatment for cervical cancer.
PURPOSE: This trial studies how well cisplatin and radiation therapy work in treating
participants with HIV-associated locally advanced cervical cancer.
