title: Carcinoma of the cervix in young females (35 years, and younger).
abstract: This retrospective study involved 55 patients, 35 years old or less with invasive carcinoma of the cervix. There were 49 squamous carcinomas, 3 adenocarcinomas, and 3 unusual varieties. Thirty-five patients had stage IB disease; 4 had stage IIA disease; 6 had stage IIB disease; 5 had stage IIIB disease, and 3 had stage IV disease. Treatments employed were either radical hysterectomy and node dissection, irradiation, or irradiation followed by radical surgery. Our overall 5-year disease-free survival among young females with stage IB disease was observed to be only 43%; stage IIA only 25%; stage IIB only 17%, and no survivors in more advanced stages.
