Para-aortic lymph node irradiation for carcinoma of the uterine cervix using split course technique
Journal Article

· Gynecol. Oncol.; (United States)
Twenty women with previously untreated cervical cancer received radical irradiation to the para-aortic lymph nodes and pelvis. Ninety percent received 6000 rads to the para-aortic nodes and pelvis in 8 weeks using split course technique. The mortality from complications of therapy, without evidence of recurrence, was 25%. Forty percent of the women were dead from recurrent cervical cancer (4-23M), and even with this short follow-up only 35% were surviving NED (6-29M). Methods for improving future trials of irradiation to the para-aortic nodes are discussed.
