title: Invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix. V. Late local recurrences after radiation therapy.
abstract: In 26 patients with late local recurrent invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix, primary and recurrence biopsies have been compared with respect to a malignancy grading system. In patients with 16 points or more (n = 13) there was no significant change between estimations. In patients scoring less then 16 points (n = 13), 7 patients had a significant rise in tumour host score indicating the possibility of new prognostic factors occurring. The concept of recurrence is discussed against the background of these findings.
