Description

We 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 failures 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
