[Extent of surgical resection for early carcinoma of the uterine cervix].
124 patients suffering from early carcinoma of uterine cervix treated by total hysterectomy are reported. Fifty-five (44%) patients had carcinoma in situ (Stage 0), 62 (50%) had Stage Ia and 7 (5.6%) Stage Ib lesions. All were treated by total hysterectomy. The 5-year survival rate was 97.6%. The authors believe that early lesion of carcinoma of uterine cervix having involvement within 2 cm and invasion to a depth of not more than 5 mm are curable by total hysterectomy without lymphatic dissection.
