[Consequences of a delayed start of therapy in primary irradiated gynecologic malignomas on five-year healing and mortality. A clinical epidemiological study].
The cases of 627 women with gynaecological malignomas, who were primarily irradiated in 1967 to 1969, were interpreted, questioning the temporary difference between clinical and histological diagnosis and beginning of treatment with regard to five-years' healing-results and mortality. The study has demonstrated, that - a delay of only four weeks considered - the part of living patients waas 11,28% of the total number of living patients, the part of dead patients however was 21,62% of the total number of dead patients. We emphasize therefore the urgency of an immediate beginning of therapy following a reliable diagnosis.
