Tumor size was accurately measured in 684 patients who had surgical treatment of cervical carcinoma after a small biopsy and received no preoperative radiotherapy. Frequency of lymph node metastases increased as five different tumor size parameters went up, depth of tumor invasion being of particular importance. When micrometastases, macrometastases, and tumor cell emboli were considered, a correlation was statistically verifiable for micrometastases and macrometastases. Such correlations could not be determined for tumor cell emboli. They are to be regarded as a random event.
在684例接受宫颈癌手术治疗、术前未接受放疗且活检较小的患者中，肿瘤大小得到了准确测量。随着五个不同肿瘤大小参数的升高，淋巴结转移频率增加，其中肿瘤浸润深度尤为重要。当考虑微转移、大转移和肿瘤细胞栓塞时，微转移和大转移的相关性具有统计学意义。肿瘤细胞栓塞的这种相关性无法确定。它们应被视为随机事件。
