title: Distant metastases following surgical treatment of cervical carcinoma.
abstract: Fifty patients with early carcinoma of the cervix were treated by radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy. Twelve patients (24%) had positive nodes and received adjuvant pelvic radiotherapy. The mean duration of follow-up was seven years and all patients had at least four years follow-up. Five patients died from recurrence; four from isolated distant metastases and one from a pelvic side wall recurrence. The disease-free interval for patients with distant metastases was six months to two years and the metastases were to lung and bone.
