[Experiences and results in the radiotherapy of 1013 patients with uterine cervix neoplasms].
The cases of 1013 patients with carcinoma of the cervix are reviewed, who underwent primary radiation treatment in the time from 1951 through 1968. This patient-population is analyzed. The radiation method is described. Out of 1013 women, 496 (49%) survived without recurrences for five years: 80.8% had Stage I disease; 69.7%, Stage II; 38.8%, Stage III; 7.7%, Stage IV. The five-year survival amounted to 53.0%, the relative effectiveness to 61.5 per cent. Complications, side-effects and secondary diseases are reported, as well as the observations of recurrences found by us.
