title: Computed tomography in advanced carcinoma of the uterine cervix.
abstract: Computed tomography (CT) and clinical examination including complete evaluation of the true pelvis were performed in 32 patients of whom 2 had possible advanced primary and 30 possible recurrent carcinoma of the uterine cervix. Confirmation of the staging by surgery or autopsy was obtained in 22 patients and by repeat clinical examinations and CT in 10 patients. The CT diagnosis was correct in 29 and the clinical pelvic examination in 25 patients. The results confirm previous reports that CT is a complementary method to pelvic examination in advanced cervical carcinoma.
