Abstract

Authors of the article constitute a "new standard" for treatment of locally advanced carcinoma of the cervix. In the introduction, note that we have managed through screening and treatment preinvazivních stages to reduce the incidence of cervical cancer in the U.S. by 90%.

In practice this means that the incidence is now in individual states varies from 6.5 to 11/100 000. In the United States are quite significant geographic and ethnic differences.

Finding a positive trend in the incidence can only envy, unfortunately, the reality in our country is completely jiná.1 In the new century, the incidence in the Czech Republic ranges from 19 to 20/100 000 and mortality between 6.8 to 7.6 / 100 000 Positive for us only that the ratio of incidence and mortality that we are from all post-communist EU countries most (35-37% die), and if we look at estimates for the U.S. in 2005 - expected 10 370 new cases and 3 710 deaths per this disease (36% death).
