Carcinoma of the Uterine Cervix Results of Radiation Therapy at a Regional Community Teaching Hospital
Abstract
ABSTRACTWe analyzed the results of radiation therapy for carcinoma of the uterine cervix in 144 patients treated at a regional referral hospital. The local control was good in early stage disease, with only two pelvic failure in 92 stages I and II patients. Survival at 40 months was 86%, 83%, 48%, and 75% for stages I, IIa, IIb, and IIb (barrel-shaped lesions), respectively. Many IIb lesions could have been staged as IIb (barrel-shaped lesions). Control and survival in late disease was poor. The complications were minimal.This content is limited to qualifying members.
