[Therapy and results of primary irradiated cervix carcinomas in the years 1966 to 1968].
This is a report about 442 patients with a carcinoma of the cervix uteri, who underwent a primary radiotherapeutic treatment in the period from 1966 to 1968. 342 (77,4%) were at the age between fifty and seventy years. 226 (60%) of the women were in the stages III and IV. A five-years-healing could be obtained with 234 patients (45%). Nobody died in consequence of the treatment, i.e. primaryly. 34 (7,6%) died intercurrently. A rectovaginal fistula appeared on 10 women (2,2%). No vesicovaginal fistula was observed. 58 women (13%) suffered from an alimentary diabetes. It is determined that this grouping represents a negative selection of patients as the stages I and II have been operated according to Wertheim, if no contraindication for the operation was existent; for that reason, the intercurrent rate of mortality in the stage I was relatively high.
