title: [Glandular cancer of the cervix in the initial stages. Treatment and results at the Curie Institute].
abstract: 102 patients were treated for adenocarcinoma of the cervix, stage 1 and 2, by radiotherapy and surgery at the Curie Institute between the years 1955 and 1974. Glandular carcinoma represents about 10% of cancers of the uterine cervix. The survival rate is: at five years 81%, at ten years 78%, at fifteen years 74%. This is similar to the survival rate for squamous carcinoma of the same stages. 48% of adenocarcinomata are found to be sterilised on the surgical specimen as compared with 78% in squamous cell carcinomata. This justified the even more frequent use of radiotherapy with surgery in this type of tumour.
