title: Cass scores as a preoperative prediction for recurrences of cervical cancer after radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy at Srinagarind Hospital.
abstract: Risk factors for recurrence after radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy at Srinagarind Hospital was studied from 218 patients operated between 1976 to June 30, 1988. Four preoperative risk factors i.e., cell types, age, stages and size of the lesions were computed and cross-tabulated with the recurrence rate from the data of the whole patients. The correlation was found to be statistical significant. This scoring system should be called from the first letter of the factor as 'CASS' and used for selection of the patients for radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy.
