Eighteen patients with locoregional recurrence after primary surgery for carcinoma of the cervix and treated by radiotherapy were analyzed. An overall complete response of 88%, 16 of 18, was achieved. Five of sixteen patients (31%) developed a second locoregional recurrence. Response to radiotherapy seemed to correlate strongly with tumor volume. The overall 5-year survival for all 18 patients was 44%, and the disease-free survival, 39%. Only 22%, 4 of 18, had distant metastases in the subsequent course of the disease.
