Radiat Oncol J. 1995;13(1):41-48.
PURPOSE: The adjuvant postoperative radiotherapy has been usually applied to the patients with unfavorable prognostic factors after radical operation in early cervical cancer. We focused on the evaluation of the survival status and failure patterns of the patients with postoperative radiotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed ninety patients with FIGO stage IB and IIA cervix cancer who received postoperative pelvic...

Radiat Oncol J. 1995;13(1):49-54.
PURPOSE: To evaluate the prognostic importance of age in patients with Stage IB cervical cancer, we examined the relationship between age and survival in patients. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Retrospective analysis was performed on 107 patients were treated with surgery followed by postoperative radiotherapy or radiation alone between October 1983 and August 1993 and 28 patients with Stage IB cervical cancer treated...
Therapeutic Results of Concurrent Chemoradiation in Locally Advanced Uterine Cervical Cancer
Seoung Hee Kang, Hyun Suk Suh, Kwang Mo Yang, Eung Soo Lee, Sung Kwon Park
Radiat Oncol J. 1995;13(1):55-62.
PURPOSE: Despite a development fo therapeutic machines and advance in modern radiation therapy techniques, locally advanced cervical carcinoma has shown high rate of local failure and poor survival rate. Combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy demonstrated benefit in improving local control and possibly the overall survival. Our study was performed to evaluate effect of concurrent chemoradiation on locally advanced uterine cervical...
