[Multidisciplinary therapy after radical surgery in stage I b1-II b cervical cancer patients with positive lymph nodes].

Objective: To study the modality of multidisciplinary therapy and prognosis of cervical cancer patients with positive lymph nodes after radical surgery.

Methods: From January 1990 to June 2003, 215 patients with clinical stage I b1-II b node-positive cervical carcinoma who underwent radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy and were histologically confirmed to have lymph node involvement were analyzed. These patients were divided into four groups as chemoradiotherapy group (107 cases), radiotherapy group (45 cases), chemotherapy group (22 cases) and no adjuvant therapy group (41 cases).

The prognosis of women with stage IB1-IIB node-positive cervical carcinoma after radical surgery.

Background: Pelvic lymph nodes metastasis is an important prognostic factor for patients with cervical carcinoma. However, the relationships between the number of positive nodes, site of metastases nodes, adjuvant therapy and the prognosis is controversial. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of positive lymph nodes on the prognosis of Chinese women with stage IB1-IIB cervical carcinoma.

[Prognosis of patients with stage Ib-IIb node-positive cervical carcinoma].

Background & Objective: Pelvic lymph node metastasis was the important prognostic factor for the patients with cervical carcinoma. However, the relationship among the number of positive nodes, site of metastatic nodes, adjuvant therapy, and the prognosis were unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the variables that could predict the prognosis of the patients with stage Ib-IIb node-positive cervical carcinoma.
