| [en] Objective: To verify the influence of age on the prognosis of cervix carcinoma. Study design: Five hundred and sixty eight patients
treated for a FIGO stage IB-IVA with radical irradiation in the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois of Lausanne were subdivided according to the following age categories: _<45, 46-60, 61-69 and > 70 years. Taking the 46-60 years age group as the reference, the hazard ratios (HR) of death and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were estimated by means of a Cox multivariate analysis. Results: The 5-year survival rates were, respectively, 57%, 67%, 60% and 45%. For the youngest women the risk of death was significantly increased (HR = 2.00, 95% CI [1.32-3.00]) and was even more accentuated in advanced stages. Conclusion: Age under 45 years is a bad prognostic factor in carcinoma of the cervix. | |
