Abstract
- During the period between 1972 and 1978, 226 patients were operated on for carcinoma of the uterine cervix at Hiroshima University, and 91 patients were treated by postoperative external irradiation. Patients with lymph node metastasis showed markedly lower five-year survival rates stage I: 44.4%; stage II: 45.0%) than those without lymph node metastasis (99.3% and 84.0%, respectively). In view of benefits of postoperative radiotherapy in the treatment of cervical cancer, only to the node positive and tumor rest patients is recommended.
