ABSTRACT
We examined the entire cohort of 1235 patients. Of these, 622 (50%) never received radiation therapy. Of the 613 (50%) patients who did receive radiation therapy (Figure 9.18), 278 (45%) received brachytherapy, 264 (43%) received external beam therapy and 71 (12%) received a combination of both. For patients who underwent resection, negative margin was clearly a factor in local-only recurrence (Figure 9.19) (p<0.01) and in disease-specific survival
