A phase III randomized trial of postoperative pelvic irradiation in Stage IB cervical carcinoma with poor prognostic features: follow-up of a gynecologic oncology group study.

TL;DR: Pelvic radiotherapy after radical surgery significantly reduces the risk of recurrence and prolongs progression-free survival in women with Stage IB cervical cancer and appears to be particularly beneficial for patients with adenocarcinoma or adenosquamous histologies.

Quality of Life and Sexual Functioning in Cervical Cancer Survivors

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the quality of life and sexual functioning in cervical cancer survivors treated with either radical hysterectomy and lymph node dissection or radiotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of tumor size on the prognosis of carcinoma of the uterine cervix treated with irradiation alone

TL;DR: It is concluded that clinical stage and size of tumor are critical factors in the prognosis, therapy selection, and evaluation of results in carcinoma of the uterine cervix.

Prognostic significance of cervical lesion size and pelvic node metastases in cervical carcinoma.

Piver, +1 more
TL;DR: Excellent 5-year survival rates for women with Stage IB cervical carcinoma were associated with cervical lesions measuring less than 3 cm and resected pelvic lymph nodes which did not contain metastatic cancer.
Journal Article

Preirradiation celiotomy and extended field irradiation for invasive carcinoma of the cervix.

TL;DR: Recurrent carcinoma usually appeared as distant metastases outside the treatment area which suggests that patients with bulky primary lesions and positive nodes actually already have systemic disease as treatment is started.

The significance of vascular invasion and lymphocytic infiltration in invasive cervical cancer.

TL;DR: Surgical specimens from 100 patients with stage I B cervical cancer undergoing radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy were reviewed with respect to vascular invasion and lymphoplasmacytic infiltration.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of radiation therapy on pelvic lymph node involvement in Stage I carcinoma of the cervix

TL;DR: The results suggest that radiation can eradicate metastatic carcinoma from lymph nodes in a portion of the cases and information regarding the presence or absence of nodal metastases is useful in planning therapy and predicting outcome.
