Abstract
A total of 117 patients with microinvasive squamous carcinoma of the cervix encountered between 1960 and 1972 is reviewed. No lymph node metastases were found in the 42 patients who had pelvic lymphadenectomy and only one died from her disease. The proposal is made that when the depth of invasion is 3 mm or less, microinvasive carcinoma can be treated in the same way as carcinoma in situ.
