Abstract

The results of radical surgery in 18 patients with stage IB invasive carcinoma of the cervix with concurrent pregnancy are presented. All patients were treated with radical Wertheim-Meigs hysterectomy with ovarian preservation. In four cases the treatment was delayed to meet patients will and achieve fetal maturity. There was no significant difference in the expected five-year survival of analyzed population (5 yrs survival of 83%) and control group consisting of 32 patients with stage IB carcinoma of the cervix without accompanying pregnancy treated in the same method and the same time. All patients with planned delay in therapy were cured.
