OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to analyze the clinical study for patients with cervical cancer who had undergone radical hysterectomy. METHOD: The subjects of this study were one hundred and sixty two patients with cervical cancer who had undergone radical hysterectomy at Eulji Medical College Hospital, Taejon, Korea, from January 1983 to December 1992. We reviewed the medical record retrospectively and analyzed the data. RESULT: The distribution of patients by age was found in the order of 50 decade and 60 decade, 40 decade. Those by the clinical stages were as follows: Stage Ia, 12 cases(7.4%); Stage Ib, 84 cases(51.9%); Stage IIa, 39 cases(24.1%); Stage IIb 27 cases(16.7%). The results of histopathologic type were distributed as follows: squamous cell carcinoma was 91.9%, adenocarcinoma was 4.9% and adenosquamous cell carcinoma was 3.1%. The histologic subtypes of squamous cell carcinoma(149 cases) were as follows: Large cell non-keratinizing type was 75.9%, large cell keratinizing type was 14.8% and small cell type was 1.2%. The frequancy of lymph node metastasis was 22.9% in stage I and 31.8% in stage II. The overall incidence of lymph node metastasis was 26.4%. The frequency of external radiation therapy done after radical hysterectomy was 63.5% in stage I and 75.8% in stage II. The 5-year survival rate was as follows: The Ia was 100%; Stage Ib, 95.2%(4cases); Stage IIa, 87.2%(5cases); Stage IIb, 77.8%(6cases). The incidence of recurrence was 7.4% and recurrent sites were vaginal stump , rectum and pelvic wall. CONCLUSION: The highest incidence of cervix cancer in age distribution was 50 decade(30.9%) and 60 decade(30.9%). The most common clinical stage was Ib(51.9%) and most frequent pathologic type was squamous cell carcinoma(91.9%). The overall incidence of lymph node metastasis was 26.4% and The most common site of recurrence was vaginal stump. The 5-year survival rate was 100% in the stage Ia, 95.2% in the stage Ib, 87.2% in the stage IIa, 77.8% in the stage IIb. |
