Radical surgery for the treatment of early invasive cervical carcinoma (stage IB): review of 15 years' experience.
From 1963 through 1977, 108 patients with stage IB cervical carcinoma were treated with radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy at the University of California, San Francisco. Forty-four of 48 patients followed for 5 or more years after surgery are known to be alive (5-year survival rate, 91.7%). The 5-year survival rate of all 108 patients using the life-table method is 93.4%. Complications in this series were few; only 1 patient developed a ureterovaginal fistula.
