Surgery for cervical cancer.
A total of 326 squamous cervical cancer patients treated by radical hysterectomy and lymphadenectomy in the Women's Hospital of Erlangen University were analysed according to their survival rates and to the histological examination results of their surgical specimens. A good relationship was found to exist between the pathological anatomical stage of the cancer, tumour volume, incidence of lymph node involvement, and survival rate. The result showed that good results from surgical treatment can be achieved even for very large cancers (Stage IIb) with a high frequency of lymph node involvement.
