Prospects for Improving the Cure Rate in Cancer of the Cervix

John B. Graham M.D.1 and Ruth M. Graham 1

1 The Vincent Memorial Hospital, the Gynecological Service of the Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts.

The type of treatment that will be most effective in early carcinoma of the cervix can be determined from the vaginal smear prior to treatment. Observation of the vaginal smear during radiotherapy will distinguish additional patients in whom the treatment is ineffective. The effectiveness of radiotherapy may be enhanced by attention to the general condition of the patient and by the administration of supplemental agents such as testosterone propionate or alpha-tocopherol.

Application of these principles may reasonably be expected materially to improve the salvage rate in cancer of the cervix.
