Summary

A group of women with carcinoma of the cervix was studied by renography and i.v. pyelography. The incidence of renal and urinary tract disorders detected by these tests increased as did the stage of the disease, being 17.1% with Stage I carcinoma of the cervix, 27.8% with Stage II carcinoma of the cervix, 47% with Stage III carcinoma of the cervix, and 83.3% in Stage IV carcinoma of the cervix. In patients with Stage I and Stage II carcinoma of the cervix, those selected for radiotherapy had twice the incidence of abnormal renograms as those selected for surgery. This difference probably reflected a higher incidence of medical disorders affecting renal and urinary tract function in those considered unfit for surgery. We believe that renograms should be used routinely as a screening test in patients with carcinoma of the cervix.
