Prognostic significance of the cyto-histological classification of infiltrating cervical epidermoid carcinoma.
One hundred-fivty-five cervical carcinomas were classified according to the Wentz and Reagan (21) cyto-histological system, and correlated to 5 year survival rates. This classification subdivides epidermoid carcinomas into three sub-groups: keratinizing carcinoma, large cell carcinoma, and small cell carcinoma. No significant differences between one group and another were observed. The importance of the type of therapy in conditioning the significance of this classification system is discussed.
