    Abstract:
    Nine cases of inflammatory invasive carcinoma of the uterine cervix are reviewed. All appeared in women under less than fifty years old, quickly after normal PAP smears. They occupied the endocervix, which mean diameter was 5 cm and outcome was very poor with only one survivor: four patients were free of disease in the pelvis and relapsed outside, the others underwent a local regional failure in less than 2 years. Association of radiotherapy and surgery is mandatory for stage IB and IIA FIGO; radiotherapy modalities--brachytherapy, external irradiation followed by brachytherapy--must be chosen according to tumor volume, size of the cervix, anatomy of vagina. For other stages radiotherapy alone is recommended using hyperfractionated treatment; in the future such observation would be documented by cytofluorometry analysis and/or molecular biology approach.
