ABSTRACT
130 cases treated for cervical cancer developed bone metastases from 1958 through 1991, it was 0.87% of the total number of cervical carcinoma admitted to our hospital. (130/14,827). The rate of metastasis in each clinical stage was 0.85% (4/468) in stage I, 0.67% (41/6,064) in stage II, 0.97% (79/8,077) in stage III, 2.75% (6/218) in stage IV, respectively. Roentgenograms were diagnostic in all but 7 of the patients. The most common site of bone metastases was lumbar vertebrae, accounting for 44.69% of all bone metastases from cervix cancer. Metastases to pelvic bones ranked next. More than a half of the patients were diagnosed within 3 years after treatment. 86.92% of the patients died within 12 months, By now all patients were dead. Local radiation therapy was useful for pain relief but did not affect the prognosis.
