Roentgenograms were diagnostic in all but 7 of the patients. The most common site of bone metastases was lumbar vertebrae, accounting for 44.69% of all bone metastases from cervix cancer. Metastases to pelvic bones ranked next. More than a half of the patients were diagnosed within 3 years after treatment. 86.92% of the patients died within 12 months, By now all patients were dead.
