Abstract

Thirty-eight women with cancer of the cervix and extrapelvic metastases (EPM) were retrospectively reviewed with respect to prognosis and responses to palliative radiotherapy. Seventeen patients had synchronous EPM and 21 individuals displayed metachronous metastatic disease outside of the pelvic cavity. A meaningful difference was not revealed (p = 0.11) in the comparison of the two groups' 2-year survival rates. However, this small retrospective review highlighted the efficacy of radiotherapy administered for palliation to this cohort of patients.
