Abstract: BACKGROUND & AIM: To study the trend of increasing incidence and the clinical therapy on carcinoma of the cervix in young women. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The age and the different clinical therapy of 345 cases of cervical cancer from July, 1995 to June,2004 were analysed. RESULTS: ①The percentage of young patients in all cervical cancer was 40.28 %(≤40 years old) or 57.10 %(≤45 years old),the trend of cervical cancer patients age is younger(P=0.000). ②The methods of one or both ovaries transposed outside the pelvis and internal iliac artery chemotherapy were performed in young patients with stage Ia2~IIb cervical cancer,it could protect the ovary function and decreased the pelvic recurrence. CONCLUSION: The age at diagnosis of invasive cervical cancer in our hospital obviously tends to be young, synthetic treatment can improve the quality of life and decrease the pelvic recurrence for young cervical cancer patients.

Key words: cervical cancer, regional chemotherapy, transposition of ovary, quality of life
