| Popis: | The incidence of late recurrence of cancer of the cervix (more than 10 years after primary therapy) was low, namely, 0.76 per cent (16 of 2,107 patients treated). Although these 16 patients were accepted as having bona fide recurrences, some of them may have had new cancers or even radiation-induced cancers. Radiation was the initial therapy for every patient who had recurrence. The sites of recurrence varied, and multiple regions and organs, particularly within the pelvis, were often involved. Treatment was individualized and included radical surgery, radiation (intracavitary radium and external-beam therapy), and chemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil. To date 3 patients have survived for 4½ years or longer after treatment of the recurrence. In all 3, the treatment of the recurrence was surgical. |
