Records of women with newly diagnosed cancer of the cervix during a 16-year period were reviewed retrospectively for the development of spinal epidural compression by metastatic tumor (SECMT). Of the 361 cases studied, seven patients (2%) experienced SECMT. Epidural compression often involved the lumbar segment, tended to occur in the nonelderly population, and was relatively protracted in onset following the diagnosis of cervical cancer in cases of metachronous presentations. Although the prognosis was generally poor, the application of therapy may have promoted a better quality of remaining life by relieving pain or restoring the ability to walk.
