Abstract
Abstract 1. 1. A review of the recent literature revealed: (1) an average incidence of lymph node metastases of 16,3 per cent for Stage I cases, 32.5 per cent for Stage II cases, and 45.6 per cent for Stage III cases and (2) that there was a reduction in the incidence of node metastases after radiation therapy. 2. 2. Thirty-eight patients with Stage I cervical cancer were treated by lymphnodectomy followed by radiation therapy while 32 patients treated concurrently had their radiation before lymphnodectomy. The percentage of pelvic lymph node metastases in the former group was 23.7, and in the latter, 12.5. It was tentatively surmised that radiation destroyed cancer in the regional lymph nodes as demonstrated in a significant number of cases.
