Carcinoma of the Cervix Complicating Pregnancy
Abstract
Of 266 cases of invasive carcinoma of the cervix, 17 cases were complicated by pregnancy. All were treated by radical Wertheim hysterectomy with Taussig node dissection followed by postoperative irradiation, resulting in a 100% five-year survival rate. Of these 17 cases of invasive carcinoma of the cervix, 12 were stage I and five were stage II (International). This paper outlines the treatment, complications, and survival rate. We believe this treatment protocol is the treatment of choice when invasive cervical carcinoma is complicated by pregnancy.This content is limited to qualifying members.
