[Probability of recovery from cancer of the cervix in relation to the stage and volume of the tumor].
The authors proposed a method for calculation of sizes of lesions at different stages (T) of cervical cancer, their correlation and the comparison of 5-year survival rates after combined therapy. The above method based on the sizes of anatomical structures, proved to be very important for analysis of the efficacy of cervical cancer therapy. The above method based on the sizes of anatomical structures, proved to be very important for analysis of the efficacy of cervical cancer therapy. Substaging was clinically substantiated because it reflected some peculiarities in tumor spreading with relation to a tumor size. Tumor sizes could differ significantly within the same stage and coincide at different stages entailing a possible difference in therapeutic results. The 5-year survival rate of cervical cancer patients with a lesion size of 1 cm3 was over 80%, and with an increase in tumor sizes over 15 cm3 it was under 50%. When a tumor was 80 cm3 and more in size its cure was highly improbable.
