Carcinoma of the cervix in young females (35 years, and younger).
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.
