Abstract

An analysis of clinical and colposcopic findings in 107 patients with early forms of invasive cancer of the uterine cervix with deep invasion not more than 3 mm (st. 1-a) and their correlation with the results of histological assay enabled the authors to give the clinico-morphological characteristics of this stage of the lesion. It was found that 40% of patients had complaints pathognomonic for a malignant process; 91.6% of patients showed visually recognizable but nonspecific changes in the cervix; in 94% of cases colposcopy revealed cancer suspicious changes of the common and increased atypical epithelium type. In 53.3% cancer foci are so limited that these would be removed by primary biopsy. Metastases in regional lymph nodes were detected in 1.6%. Limited foci of the cancer and extremly rare metastases spread in regional lymph nodes justify the use of hysterectomy solely in treatment of such patients.
