Treatment policies affecting survival in patients with carcinoma of the cervix

JM Thomson and JS Spratt Jr

Radiotherapy treatment techniques were evaluated according to survival rates among more than 800 patients with Stage I and II carcinoma of the cervix. An increased survival rate was noted when a Fletcher tandem and ovoids and the Fletcher technique of external irradiation and fractionated radium therapy were applied. This increase was due to a larger radiation dose to the anoxic tumor core and to external irradiation shrinking the tumor to within the high-dose range of radium therapy.
