Abstract
Risk factors for survival were analyzed for 208 women diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer at Srinagarind hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Khon Kaen University between January 1, 1976 and December 31, 1987. All underwent radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy. The clinical data, operative data, histology, complications and follow-up profiles were analyzed by cross-tabulation and chi-square test. The main significant factors were analyzed for survival functions by the Cutler-Ederer method with Breslow and Mantel-Cox tests. Recurrences of the disease, FIGO stages, sizes and types of the lesions, histology, lengths of the uterus and modes of removal of left ovaries were all significant risk factors. The first five factors have been mentioned in previous literature but the latter two were not and need further investigation.
