From January 1st 1966 until December 31st 1968, 593 women with carcinoma of the cervix uteri were admitted to and treated at the I. Universitäts-Frauenklinik of Vienna. 151 cases underwent a radical operation (Wertheim) resulting in a relative 5-years-healing of 85.43% and 442 women were exclusively treated by a combined radium-X-ray-therapy. From the 442 inoperable cases in 234 cases--which is 53%--a 5-years healing was reached. Of all the 593 cases together, 363 are living without relapse after 5 years, which is equal to 61.21% absolute healing.
