Abstract
1.1. Table XV presents a summary of the 5 year results in 297 patients seen during the 34 years, 1921 to 1954.2.2. Irradiation, especially with intrauterine radium, has played a prominent part in the therapy. In operable cases it has been used primarily to devitalize the carcinoma and thereby prevent manipulative spread and local recurrence.3.3. The preferred method of treatment has been intrauterine radium followed in 6 weeks by total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Sixty per cent of the patients were treated by less satisfactory methods, usually because the carcinoma was advanced or the patient was a poor operative risk.
