Objectives included describing patient factors affecting disposition to RH versus RT; comparing RH outcomes for obese (BMI >30 mg/m) and non-obese patients; and comparing differences in recurrence free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS).

Methods: This was a single institution cohort study of all cervical cancer patients who underwent RH or were candidates for RH based on clinical stage.
