[Stage distribution and survival rates in cervix cancer at the Gynecologic Clinic of the Debrecen Medical University from 1970 to 1980].

The authors report on the stage distribution and 5-years survival rate of 1158 cervical cancer cases treated from 1970 to 1980 at their center. Comparing these data to those of other institutions according to the 17th volume of Annual Report on the results of treatment in gynecological cancer they found that the stage distribution of their cases is not so favourable as that of other institutions. This unfavourable stage distribution is the consequence of the insufficiency of the mass screening of cervical cancer. Their treatment results characterized by the five year survival rate correspond to the international average.
