One hundred three @entity1 with @entity420 treated with radiotherapy between 1975 and 1992 were evaluated. The results for 24 @entity1 treated with radiotherapy alone were as follows: The overall 5-year survival rates for Stages I + II (N = 12) and III + IV (N = 12) were 52% and 16%, respectively, lower than those for @entity957 (stage I: 89%, II: 54%, III: 44%, IV: 19%). The overall response rate was 79.1%, and the recurrence rate was 54.2% (local recurrence: 29.2%, distant @entity3 : 33.3%). In Stage I + II @entity1 with an intracavitary irradiation dose of 40 Gy (LDR) or more, there was no local recurrence. In stage III + IV @entity1 , local recurrence was recognized in spite of the high dosage of intracavitary irradiation. The results for 79 @entity1 treated with combined irradiation and operation were as follows: The overall 5-year survival rates for Stages I, II, III and IV were 76%, 60%, 57%, and 0%, respectively. The incidence of lymph node @entity3 was 30.4%, and for Stages I, II, III and IV was 26.7%, 34.6%, 28.6%, and 100%, respectively. This showed that @entity420 had a higher incidence of lymph node @entity3 after the early stage. The recurrence rate for @entity1 with lymph node @entity3 was 75.0%, significantly higher than 25.4% for @entity1 without lymph node @entity3 (p < 0.001). To improve prognosis, 40 Gy or more of intracavitary irradiation dose (LDR) and systemic chemotherapy to prevent distant @entity3 are recommended for stage I and II cases. For stage III and IV cases, it was thought to be difficult to control @entity66 with radiation alone. Additional treatment should be used for these cases, i.e. intraarterial infusion, chemotherapy, @entity221 and so on.
