title: Figo clinical stage IIb carcinoma of the uterine cervix and surgical staging.
abstract: Postsurgical precise correlation was examined in 48 patients with an invasive carcinoma of the cervix in International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) clinical stage IIb. Of the 48 cases, 18 cases were overestimated; in which inflammatory parametrial changes and endophytic tumor growth were seen. Six lesions clinically underestimated were associated with superficial invasion into the rectal or bladder muscle. Resultant precise correlation was available in the remainder (24 cases).
