Radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection

Twenty-five years' experience with radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection in early carcinoma of the cervix is presented. The results indicate that younger patient ovarian salvage was successful. The patients with postoperative positive pelvic nodes were treated by external radiation therapy. Urinary tract complications of atonic bladder have presented a problem that has not been solved. The indications for operation continue to increase and, we feel, will continue to increase in the future because of the early diagnosis of cervical cancer and a greater number of patients that fit this category.

Serum Carcinoembryonic Antigens in Patients With Carcinoma of the Cervix

Serum levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) were measured by a radioimmunoassay technique. The mean CEA level for 80 controls was 2.03 ng/ml with a standard deviation of 0.49 ng/ml. Hence, the upper limit of normal for serum CEA levels was considered to be 3.01 ng/ml, ie, two standard deviations above the mean. Serum CEA levels were measured in 86 patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma, Stages 0 through IV. Thirty-five of the 74 patients with invasive cervical carcinoma were CEA-positive (serum levels above normal); patients with cervical dysplasia or carcinoma in situ were all CEA-negative. Study of the distribution of these patients together with the extent of their disease leads to the following conclusions: a) determination of serum CEA levels cannot serve as a test for the early diagnosis of cervical cancer or precancerous lesions; b) in patients with clinical Stage I or II cervical cancer, an elevated serum CEA level indicates a greater likelihood of parametrial invasion or lymph node metastasis; c) in patients with treated carcinoma of the cervix, continued normal levels of serum CEA affirm continued absence of the disease, whereas development of an elevated level is highly suspicious of occult residual or recurrent cancer. The authors urge periodic determinations of serum CEA levels in patients with treated cervical cancer.

Computer system for gynaecological health control.

Gynaecological health controls for the early diagnosis of cervical cancer are being conducted in many parts of the world at large, as also in the major part of Sweden. Even at the local level the health control programme is so extensive as to be well-suited for automatic computer processing. In Uppsala a computer system has been developed, which reduces manual routines to a minimum, while at the same time demanding high standards of discretion, flexibility and possibilities for integration of the health control system with computer systems with, for example, routine cytology, pathology and gynaecological clinical work. The construction of the system enables direct scientific statistical processing to be conducted.

Difficulties in the diagnosis of early cervical cancer

Current concepts of cervical cancer hold that the disease goes through an early, probably curable stage.A few private patients with carly cervical malignancy or potentially malignant lesions are reported as to their symptoms, physical findings, and laboratory studies. The lack of significant symptoms and physical findings is stressed. Some of the real difficulties encountered in the attempt to diagnose early cancer of the cervix are mentioned.

CERVICAL CYTOLOGY IN DIAGNOSIS OF EARLY CANCER

Study of exfoliated squamous cells from the uterine tract in health and in disease opens up weirdly fascinating and provocative avenues of approach to cancer research. It seems important at the outset to differentiate between the "diagnosis of early cervical cancer" and the term "early diagnosis of clinical, cervical cancer." There is evidence tending to prove that early cancer is a microscopic and preclinical entity, whereas one usually thinks of cervical cancer as a clinical entity. Early clinical cancer is a rare finding It is most seldom that one sees such a thing in gynecologic practice, and there seems to be a big gap between the so-called normal cervix and clinical, cervical carcinoma, which is still such a formidable disease. The detection of cells with atypical nuclear structure scraped from clinically normal cervices leads to the belief that even though the epithelial surface may be intact, metabolic changes are taking
