Abstract

The 189 patients with clinical Stage I carcinoma of the uterine cervix treated during the 10-year period, September 1, 1961 to September 1, 1971 are reviewed. One hundred fifty-six of the patients, or 83% of the total series, were selected for primary surgical treatment, 150 by radical Wertheim-Taussig hysterectomy. Thirty-two patients received primary radiation. Operative and long-term complications were extremely low, with no urinary or bowel fistulae. The 5-year actuarial survival rate of the operated patients is 93%. The corrected 5-year actuarial survival rate of the 32 radiated patients is 88%.
