Cooperative approach to the treatment of cervical cancer.
This study covers 20 years' experience in the treatment of carcinoma of the cervix. Improved results and a decreased rate of major complications are seen as a result of a cooperative approach in treatment planning and careful dosimetry. Comparisons are made with large treatment centers as well as with national survival rates. Preliminary results with improved radiotherapeutic techniques continue to show improvement in survival rates.
