Actuarial survival in 178 patients treated with radical surgery and lymphadenectomy from 1977 to 1987 have been evaluated. The survival rate at 60 months in the 124p N0 patients was 95%; in the 57 p N1 patients was 20.2%. The survival in patients with only 1 or 2 metastatic lymph nodes was 39.7%, while it was 13.1% with 3 or more lymph nodes involved. Survival rate related to lymph nodal metastatic level was 36%, 32%, 17% respectively when the first, second and third levels were involved. We demonstrated a statistically significant relation between survival and external thirds, CLS, vaginal, parametrial invasion. A multifactorial analysis also showed the remarkable significance of the simultaneous negativity of vaginal, CLS, external third invasion (survival rate 98.4%). When the positivity of the external invasion was associated with simultaneous negativity of vaginal and CLS invasion the survival rate was 79.4%. The survival rate in patients with positive vaginal and external third invasion was 26%. This showed the decisive importance of vaginal invasion in cervical cancer survival.

Abstract
Actuarial survival in 178 patients treated with radical surgery and lymphadenectomy from 1977 to 1987 have been evaluated. The survival rate at 60 months in the 124p N0 patients was 95%; in the 57 p N1 patients was 20.2%. The survival in patients with only 1 or 2 metastatic lymph nodes was 39.7%, while it was 13.1% with 3 or more lymph nodes involved. Survival rate related to lymph nodal metastatic level was 36%, 32%, 17% respectively when the first, second and third levels were involved. We demonstrated a statistically significant relation between survival and external thirds, CLS, vaginal, parametrial invasion. A multifactorial analysis also showed the remarkable significance of the simultaneous negativity of vaginal, CLS, external third invasion (survival rate 98.4%). When the positivity of the external invasion was associated with simultaneous negativity of vaginal and CLS invasion the survival rate was 79.4%. The survival rate in patients with positive vaginal and external third invasion was 26%. This showed the decisive importance of vaginal invasion in cervical cancer survival.
