Abstract:
A total of 4304 cervical cancer cases registered during 1982-89 in Chennai registry, India, were analyzed. Relative survival at 1, 3 and 5 years were 90%, 72% and 60% respectively. Age at diagnosis and extent of disease emerged as statistically significant prognostic factors (p<0.001). Five-fold higher risk of death was seen among those above 64 years vs. <45 years and those with distant metastasis vs. localized disease at diagnosis. Cancer control programs focusing on health education would motivate women to attend hospital at an early stage of disease for better survival.
