[The extent of neoplastic involvement of the regional lymph nodes in cervical neoplasms and its effect on the rate of cures. (A report on 103 cured cases)].
At the 1st University Clinic for Gynaecology in Vienna (Austria) nearly every other woman suffering from cervical carcinoma suitable for operation was cured by abdominal radical hysterectomy with obligatory lymphonodectomy and routine postoperative irradiation between 1951 and 1972 in spite of carcinomatous involvement of their lymph nodes. Cases of the histological stage Ia were excluded of this study. Although the survival rate of the cases with minimal lymph node involvement (61%) exceeds the one of cases with extended involvement (35%) further radicalization of obligatory lymphonodectomy seems to be promising. At the above mentioned Clinic this is aspired by the use of radioisotopes for intraoperative exposition of the lymph nodes.
