Cervical Carcinoma: Relationship between Histology and Survival Following Radiation Therapy

FRANK M. FINCK, MD and MARY DENK

From the Departments of Pathology and Radiation Therapy, Los Angeles County-University of Southern California Medical Center, Los Angeles, Calif.

Abstract

This report is a retrospective analysis of the course of 253 patients with cervical carcinoma treated by radiation therapy. The carcinomas were classified according to the histomorpho- Iogic criteria previously outlined by Reagan. Statistical analysis by the chi-square test showed a highly significant difference in survival of the large-cell nonkeratinizing carcinoma as compared to both the keratinizing and smallcell carcinomas at both 2- and 5-year periods. The survival of patients with keratinizing carcinoma as compared to those with small-cell carcinoma was found to be probably significant in one-half of the comparisons while the remainder were not significant.
