Adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix: prognostic factors and patterns of recurrence

H M Goodman et al. Gynecol Oncol. 1989 May.

Abstract

Survival data, prognostic factors, and patterns of recurrence were analyzed for 70 women with adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix treated between 1968 and 1982. The 5-year survival rates for stages I, II, and III-IV were 82, 90, and 38%, respectively. Control of pelvic tumor was achieved in 82, 80, and 12.5% of cases of stage I, II, and III-IV disease, respectively. When radiation therapy techniques alone were employed, pelvic control was achieved in 100% of stage I and 75% of stage II cases. Tumor grade was an important prognostic factor in stage I disease, with 92% of patients with grade 1 and 2 lesions surviving 5 years, in contrast to 68% of patients with grade 3 lesions (P less than 0.05, log rank test).
