[Morphological criteria in decreased patients who had undergone surgery for cervical cancer].
In 966 patients who had undergone surgery and who had been suffering from squamous cell carcinoma, tumour recurrence occurred in 16.8% of the cases. In almost 70% of these cases, recurrence was seen in the first two years following treatment. 15% of the patients died of the carcinoma. Compared with the patients who had stayed alive, post-mortem examination of the patients who had died of carcinoma revealed in 65.5% of the patients an immature squamous cell carcinoma, in 37.7% a dissociated tumour growth, in 21.7% penetration of the tumour into the lymph vessels, and in 62.1% penetration into the blood vessels. Macrometastases in the area of the regional lymphatic nodes were seen in 45.2%. In the surviving patients, the percentage of immature carcinomas was 47.4%, whereas dissociated tumour growth was seen in 18.7% and penetration into the lymph or blood vessels in 5.8 and 14.1% of the cases, respectively. Macrometastases in the area of the regional lymphatic nodes were seen in 11.8% of the cases. In woman patients with an early recurrence of tumour, or in women who had died of the carcinoma, mostly immature carcinomas, tumour penetration into vessels, and macrometastases in regional lymphatic nodes were observed.
