Abstract
Irradiation alone or very slightly diminished irradiation followed by conservative hysterectomy has produced 75 per cent 5-year survival rates in Stage I and II adenocarcinomas of the cervix which are as good as the 5-year results for squamous cell carcinomas. Primary irradiation carried to the fullest or near fullest is to be maintained; but because of the usual endocervical origin and the tendency to invade the myometrium in the patients who have a bulky endocervical lesion, the addition of a conservative hysterectomy may increase the chances of cure.
