  Summary:
Cervical cancer is one of the most frequent and most malignant tumours in females. The objective was to investigate the importance of individual prognostic factors in staging, the choice of treatment, the estimate of relapses and metastases as well as in the forecast of surviving period. During the research we used the data of 73 patients, of which 32 patients had the early cervical cancer, while the second group included 41 patients with already developed cervical cancer. The research was done at the Oncology Clinic and the Gynaecology Department of the Health Care Centre Gornji Milanovac and the research period covered the beginning of 1999 to the end of 2003. The research and statistical analysis confirmed that the negative prognostic factor in cervical cancer was the following: high FIGO stage, younger patients, larger tumours with deeper penetration of malignant cells in stroma and with lymphovascular invasion, tumours spreading over parametria and lymph glands, histopathological adenocarcinoma, G3 histological stage and early occurrence of relapses and metastases. Today timely detection of the malignancy in the early stages is most important in order to provide the optimal therapy. Patients with more negative prognostic factors need to be followed continually and adequate multimodal treatment is needed immediately after relapses.
Key words: Cervical cancer, prognostic factors, treatment, surviving period.
