[Radical surgery and radiation in carcinoma of the uterine cervix and results (author's transl)].

A radical panhysterectomy and bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy was performed immediately after intracavitary radiation in 240 cases of carcinoma of the uterine cervix. In some cases external radiation was performed after surgery. The 10 years survival rate was: 76 per cent in 169 stage I, 57 per cent in 71 stage II. Twenty seven patients died from recurrence or metastasis. Iatrogenic urinary tract complications were responsible of the death in 12 cases. All these cases were submitted to external radiation.
