[Carcinoma of the cervix uteri--the morphological changes after preoperative radiotherapy]

A retrospective morphological research is made on 11 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix for a three-years period of time (1995-1997). Preoperative radiotherapy (intracavitary radiotherapy with Cs and/or external radiation) is carried out.
