[Relationship between pathological incidence, social status, and sexual status of patients with cervical carcinoma (author's transl)]. / Der Zusammenhang von Erkrankungshäufigkeit, Sozial- und Sexualstatus bei Patientinnen mit Zervixkarzinom.

Case history, latest findings, and catamnesis were collected and evaluated for 528 patients with early-invasive cervical carcinoma and 170 Stage-I b patients who had undergone radical surgery. No direct relationship was found to exist between genetic and environmental factors, social status, and sexual status. Limited radical treatment of patients with early-invasive cervical carcinoma proved to be just as good in terms of healing results as radical therapy, but it was even better for the patients in terms of physical and psychic effects. Nevertheless, substantive improvement in re-integration of the patients concerned in achievable quality of life was found to be possible by complex efforts for all-embracing rehabilitation.
