Definition
| Prognosis of patients with carcinoma of the cervix is largely dependent on the stage of disease at time of diagnosis. At Stage 0 (carcinoma in situ) cure is virtually 100%. At Stage I (carcinoma confined to the cervix) there is an 85 to 90% five-year survival rate. At Stage II, a 70 to 75% five-year survival rate. At Stage III, a 35% five-year survival rate. At Stage IV, a 10% five-year survival rate. Patients with extensive disease often die of uremia due to local extension of tumor, causing obstruction of ureters and subsequent pyelonephritis |
