Abstract
Abstract 311 patients with cancer of the cervix in stages 1–3 received a radical course of irradiation at The Princess Margaret Hospital, Toronto in 1960–61. The clinical outcome in these patients is correlated with the blood pressure at the time of presentation and during radium therapy. A significant association is demonstrated between high blood pressure and an increased death rate from cancer of the cervix at five years, also between high blood pressure and an increased rate of recurrence at the primary site. Radiation complications were less frequent if the blood pressure was high. Whether this clinical association is causal, consequential or coincidental is undetermined.
