title: [Evaluation of the practical efficacy of the FIGO Classification for Early Invasive Squamous Cervical Cancer].
abstract: The aim of our investigation was to evaluate the efficacy of the FIGO Classification for Early Invasive Squamous Cervical Cancer.
  
  
  METHODS
  A clinicopathological analysis was performed for 500 patients with invasive squamous cervical cancer with stromal invasion 5 mm or less.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We found lymph node metastases in 2% (8 patients) with stromal invasion 3 mm or less in stage I A1. The lymph node involvment in patients with stromal invasion of 3-5 mm was 7.5% (3 patients). When enlarging the tumour width horizontaly from 4% (horizontal spread less than 7 mm) to 10% (horizontal spread more than 7 mm), had no patients with parametrial metastases. From 8 patients recurrences, 6 had horizontal spread more than 7 mm, the other 2 were in stage I A2.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The definition of FIGO for the early squamous cervical cancer is of very good practical importance for the moment. There be a little bit paid more attention on the horizontal spread of 7 mm, the oncogynaecological surgeon must be more radical.
