title: The management of cervical carcinoma in the Gynaecologic and Obstetric Institute of Sassari in ten-year period 1980-89.
abstract: We have considered 91 cases of uterine cervical carcinoma observed in the period 1980-89, of which 31 (34%) at stage 0, and 23 (25.2%) at stage IB. The operative index was of 85.7%. Of 78 cases operated, 22 (28.2%) were treated with post-surgical adjuvant radiotherapy because of the presence of risk factors. The relapse incidence (follow-up 8-118 months) was in total 14.6% (12 relapses) with an NED-survival of 79.1% (at the first stage B 4.3% of relapses with an NED-survival of 95.6%). We have emphasized the importance of adjuvant radiotherapy which has allowed the progressive improvement in the therapeutic results of the last years.
