Abstract:
Twenty-six cases of stage IB (FIGO) cancer of the uterine cervix seen at the 1st Obstetric-Gynaecological Division of the United Hospitals of Bergamo in 1987-88 have been analysed. The therapeutic approach is discussed with special regard to the indications for radical surgery, which is the treatment of choice in 84% of cases. In addition, among the various risk factors, the presence of lymph node metastases is considered with particular attention as this reduces survival by 50%.
