This study is designed to analyze the complications of extended-field radiotherapy for carcinoma of the uterine cervix uncomplicated by recent prior surgery. Forty-two patients with carcinoma of the uterine cervix and lymph node metastases established by unequivocally positive bipedal lymphangiograms were treated with extended-field radiotherapy. External beam radiation to extended pelvic portals was limited to 4500 cGy using the linear accelerator and approximately 6000 mg-hr brachytherapy. Nodal boosts up to 500 cGy were generally limited to fields measuring less than 50 cm2. Higher doses were administered in 12 patients because of poor tumor regression. Eleven of these 12 patients experienced severe complications, and only three achieved control of their tumor. The type of treatment complication appeared to be directly related to specific modifications of the initial treatment plan. Treatment failures occurred within and outside of treatment portals with equal frequency.
