Serous papillary carcinoma of the cervix.
Two cases of serous papillary carcinoma of the cervix are reported. Both patients had clinical stage IB disease. One patient underwent radical hysterectomy and bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy. The second patient was treated with pelvic radiation therapy after exploration demonstrated uterosacral ligament metastasis. Both patients are alive at 35 months after treatment with local therapy alone. In contrast to ovarian, tubal, and endometrial serous carcinomas, local therapy appears to be effective treatment for serous carcinomas of the cervix.
