204 Radiotherapy in early stages of cervical cancer patients

From 291 patients with cervical cancer 181 (62.2%) were in the inoperable stage (FIGO st. II-b and more). Operation as primary therapy was possible in 110 cases (37.8%). Early stages of cervical cancer (CIN, Ia) were rare and registered in 22/291 patients (7.36%). Five year survival did not show good results in this group. Even 27.4% patients with early stage showed progression and died. Poor results are based on insufficient preoperative diagnosis, as missing of pathohistologic parameters (depth of tumor invasion and invasion of vascular and lymphatic vessels). Because of that we must frequently use postoperative radiotherapy in early cervical cancer patients in purpose to get better results.
