title: [Elements of the prognosis of invasive epidermoid carcinoma of the cervix. Study in terms of the clinical stage and histologic criteria].
abstract: The prognosis in 143 cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix was studied in terms of clinical stage and various histological parameters. The results were compared with those in the world literature. In our series the clinical stage proved to be the most decisive element in the prognosis: the survival rates of stages I to IV were 77.1%, 58.3%, 28.6% and 0% at five years and 65.7%, 51.7%, 20.0% and 0% at ten years. The majority of deaths due to cancer occurred in the first five years after treatment. The prognosis was less favorable when the carcinoma occurred on the cervical stump after subtotal hysterectomy. The authors found Wentz and Reagan's histological classification adopted by the WHO to be difficult if not impossible to apply uniformly without error, due to numerous mixed forms. In addition, it has no statistically significant prognostic value. Among the other parameters considered in this study, only the type of stroma appeared to have some prognostic value. The prognosis was less favorable in tumors with a stroma of the fibrous type.
