[Quality of life in patients with cervical carcinoma (stage I-II) after radical treatment].

Quality of life after radical surgery, radiotherapy and combined therapy for cervical carcinoma (stage I-II) was studied. An evaluation of 4,900 questionnaires (FACT-G, Spielberger-Hanin) from 180 patients pointed to deterioration in all clinical groups undergoing treatment. It was restored in cases of surgery and combined treatment by the of therapy while, in those receiving complex radiotherapy alone, it was at its lowest level at the same period. In that group, quality of life failed to recover until 6 months after treatment.
