title: Radical surgery for the treatment of early invasive cervical carcinoma (stage IB): review of 15 years' experience.
abstract: 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.
