Abstract
A review of parameters influencing the prognosis of patients with stages IV and IIA-B carcinoma of the cervix treated with radiotherapy alone is presented. The effect of tumor diameter, a factor not included in the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics staging system, is emphasized. Potential alternative treatment strategies, particularly adjuvant hysterectomy, are addressed.
