Treatment of locoregional recurrence of carcinoma of the cervix by radiotherapy after primary surgery.
Eighteen patients with locoregional recurrence after primary surgery for carcinoma of the cervix and treated by radiotherapy were analyzed. An overall complete response of 88%, 16 of 18, was achieved. Five of sixteen patients (31%) developed a second locoregional recurrence. Response to radiotherapy seemed to correlate strongly with tumor volume. The overall 5-year survival for all 18 patients was 44%, and the disease-free survival, 39%. Only 22%, 4 of 18, had distant metastases in the subsequent course of the disease.
