Age as a prognostic factor in carcinoma of the cervix
Abstract
The influence of age on prognosis for carcinoma of the cervix was evaluated for a population of 218 patients treated at Loma Linda University between 1972 and 1982. Treatment methods were consistent over this time interval and were tailored according to age and extent of disease. Minimum follow-up is 5 years. The age groups were less than 35, 35-55, 55-75, and greater than or equal to 75. There was a significantly higher percentage of stages IIB and III in the older (greater than 55) age groups. The age groups were subdivided by stage for analysis of local-regional and distant failures. No significant age differences in local-regional or distant failures were found. Actuarial analysis of disease-free survival demonstrated no significant difference by age group. Age could not be verified as a prognostic factor in this study population.
