One hundred and eighty-one patients who were treated by irradiation only for carcinoma of uterine cervix were analyzed to evaluate for cure or recurrence, by the multidimensional quantification theory II. The cases were also restricted to primary T3b in TNM classification, large tumor volume, squamous cell Ca. for the histology, cure and residual primary or recurred tumor and less than 76 years old at first therapy.
