Abstract
At present, progress in the treatment of cancer consists of more extensive excision or more thorough irradiation. The cure rate of pelvic cancer is proportionate not so much with the form of therapy used as with the stage of the disease when first diagnosed. Any woman who consults a physician should have a pelvic examination regardless of the presence or absence of pelvic symptoms.
