Abstract
This retrospective descriptive study assessed cervical-cancer patient survival at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) of Thailand. All patients with cervical cancer, admitted to the NCI during the period 1987-2005, were included in the study. A total of 318 patients who met the study criteria were selected. The mean age of the patients was 52.24 years. Most of the cervical cancers were FIGO stage IIB. Our findings revealed that the 5-year overall survival rate for patients who received treatment at the NCI was 64.9%. The 5-year survival rates were 88.6% for stage I, 63.7% for stage II, 41.2% for stage III, and 33.3% for stage IV. In conclusion, we found that the survival rates of cervical-cancer patients who received treatment at the NCI were comparable to, or better than, those in other Asian countries.
