Long term results of treatment of carcinoma of cervix

In this survey of 602 patients treated for carcinoma of the uterine cervix during the period 1944--1968 (with a 100 per cent follow-up) survival rates at 5, 10, 15 and 20 years after radiotherapy were 41, 28, 18 and 11 per cent. The crude five-year cure rate of over 70 per cent for Stage I and 58 per cent for Stage II cases and an overall five-year survival rate of 42 per cent for all stages compares favourably with results published from other institutions in the United Kingdom.
