The authors have studied 68 cases of carcinoma of the cervical stump treated at the INSTITUTO NACIONAL DE ENFERMEDADES NEOPLASICAS, Lima, between 1952 - 1967. By applying the criteria of two years free interval, 49 of these cases were "authentic" and 19 were of the coincident type. These 68 cases represented 0.7 % of the 9.197 cases of carcinoma of the cervix treated in the 15 years period. The overall survival rate for the surgical treated group was 50 % and 47 % for those who received roentgen therapy; however, after analysis of the clinical stages of the cases in both groups the authors suport radiation therapy as the more adequate procedure.

We report 116 cases of benign and malignant tumors of the genital area of children and adolescents up to 17 years, diagnosed in a span of 19 years, from 1952 to 1971 at a single institution. These tumors are rare at this age, they constitute only 0.6%; instead, they are much more common in adult women after age 17, group forming 99.4% of our cases. Of the 116 cases more than a third they corresponded to the group of malignant and almost two-thirds have been benign. 40 cases of malignant tumors of OU casuistry, represent the biggest single resportada so far in series. The most common malignant tumors in childhood and adolescence are ovarian location, which representana more than two-thirds of the total, followed by vaginal location. We emphasize certain gynecological principles that guide the surgeon in the management of benign ovarian tumors in children and adolescents. Our series of gyn...

The authors present their experience with the sequential treatment: Radium and Surgery in 10 cases of cervical cancer in stages I and II. Histopathological studies have shown no residual tumor or lymph node metastases. Morbidity, especially urinary (fistulas), is exactly the same as when surgery alone is used. At present the 10 cases are alive without evidence of disease. Conduct with the possibility of obtaining better results is recommended.

Between 1962 and 1980, the Departments of Gynecology and Medical Oncology INEN have handled 170 cases of trophoblastic disease. All patients had clinical and / or radiographic evidence and hormonal disease activity; histopathologic evidence was obtained when the disease was accessible to biopsy. Half of the patients are in the third decade of life, and a quarter in the fourth decade; 8 percent were under 20 years old. Only 27 percent of cases were under three months of sick time; in 21 percent of cases the disease duration was more than one year. 64.7% of cases had a history of mole, and 20 percent of abortion; in 10% of cases of history was normal delivery. Only 110 patients (64.75%) showed evidence of pelvic disease admission; 35% of 110 cases found evidence of disease in the pelvis. 55% of cases presented lung metastases, and 20% vulvovaginal metastasis; intestinal metastasis, liver o...

Using in situ hybridization, human papaillomavirus type 16 was identified in both primary and recurrent cervical carcinoma following radiation therapy.
