title: [A contribution to the treatment of cancer of the cervix].
abstract: An account is given of the latest developments in diagnosis of cancer of the cervix in the pre-invasion stage, and the surgical techniques and most commonly used radiotherapy methods are described. Particular attention is given to radiosurgical therapy and, with this in view, a personal method used in a series of 52 patients is presented: Wertheim's operation is associated with the placing of radium pellets in the stripped parametrium. High survival percents obtained for periods of years, particularly in 2nd and 3rd stage cancers, show the positive effectiveness of the method.
