The prognostic implications of anaemia in the outcome of patients with early stages of uterine cervix carcinoma.

We studied the prognostic value of anaemia in the evolution of patients with early stages of uterine cervix cancer and treated with radical surgery. An observational study of 114 patients treated for cervical cancer at the "La Fe" Maternity Hospital in Valencia (Spain) during the period 1971 to 1989. Survival analyses were carried out whereby both recurrence and mortality rates were considered.

Multivariate analysis of the morphometric characteristics of tumours as prognostic factors in the survival of patients with uterine cervix cancer treated with radical surgery.

Objectives: To analyse the influence of tumour size and anatomopathological characteristics in the prognosis of patients with early-stage cancer of the uterine cervix treated with radical surgery.

Study Design: A historical study of 114 patients treated at the Maternity Hospital "La Fe" in Valencia was undertaken during the period 1971-1989. The influence of the principal risk factors on prognosis were studied and their effect adjusted using a multivariate analysis based on the Cox proportional hazards model.
