Abstract

Clinico-morphological data on 25 patients are presented, in whom within the terms from 7 months to 25 years following radiotherapy for cervical cancer an increased size of the uterine body was noted, the latter would practically be induced either by recurrent tumor growth (in 13 patients), or primary-multiple tumor-adenocarcinoma (in 6 patients), or mixed mesodermal tumor (5 patients).
