title: [Surgical treatment of cervix cancer. A 6-year material from a regional hospital].
abstract: The results are reported for 75 patients treated with radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy (Wertheim-Meigs' operation) for cervical carcinoma. There was no per- or postoperative death. Ten patients suffered immediate postoperative complications. One case of lower limb lymphoedema was observed. 17 patients (23%) had pelvic lymph node metastases. In eight patients the disease has recurred (median observation time 43 months). Overall recurrence-free survival was 89%: for patients without lymph node metastases 91%, and for patients with metastases 82%. Using a prognostic score based on stage, presence of lymph node metastases, blood or lymph vessel invasion, low differentiation, and tumour-involved resection margins; two groups could be identified, with a recurrence-free survival of 94% (score < or = 2) and 75% (score > or = 3), respectively (p < 0.02).
