Abstract
Results of combined surgical and radiation therapy for invasive carcinoma in 266 patients treated between 1945 and 1970 are presented. Treatment protocol included radical Wertheim hysterectomy, Taussig node dissection, and deep pelvic irradiation. All cases were staged according to the International Staging System. The five-year survival for patients with disease in stages I, II, and III was 80.5%. All of the 32 patients with cervical stump carcinoma or cervical carcinoma complicated by pregnancy survived. Of the 52 patients with lymph node metastasis, 55.7% survived.Keywords
