Abstract
The healing among patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix in stages I B and II has been calculated in 189 patients from the 1950's and in 271 patients from 1969 to 1973. The observation period was 2 years. The first material was treated using the Stockholm technique. Extraperitoneal lymphadenesctomy was also performed in 59 per cent. The second material was treated with whole-pelvis irradiation using external high-voltage technique without central shielding, compelemented with intracavitary treatment using modified Stockholm applicators. The frequency of central recurrences, metastases on the pelvic wall after completion of treatment and deaths from carcinoma for stages I B and II were in material I approximately 6 and 20 per cent, approximately 8 and 14 per cent, and approximately 12 and 22 per cent, respectively; and in material II 9 and 20 per cent, 3 and 11 per cent, and 9 and 22 per cent, respectively.
