[Results of radiotherapy of cervix cancer].
A total of 1,830 women with cervical carcinoma has been irradiated from 1959 to 1986 with three different methods. 5 years survival rate was overall 44 per cent, in FIGO stage I 74 per cent, in stage II 55 per cent and in stage III 27 per cent. The better quality of life using high voltage technique is underlined. Including the paraaortic region into the radiation target volume may improve the results.
