title: [Prognostic significance of lymph node dissection in terms of overall survival of invasive cervical cancer].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To establish the role of the lymph node dissection (LND) and the overall. Survival of patients with invasive cervical cancer depending on their lymph node status.
  
  
  METHODS
  The follow-up period includes the date of registration until September 2011 or exitus letalis. (from 2 to 96 months, average 45 months).
  
  
  RESULTS
  We presented the relationships between presense of lymph node metastases (LNM), number of LNM, localization of LNM, micro- and macro- LNM and the overall survival of patients staged IB1 -IIB.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Patients with microscopic LNM reveal similar overall survival (81%) to patients without LNM (86%). In these patients LND demonstrates therapeutic effect.
