Details of combined recurrence were as follows: primary andparaaortic lymphnode in eight out of 14 primary and pelvic wall in five out of 14, primary, pelvic wall andparaaortic lymphnode in one out of 14. 4. Distant metastatic lesions were found in lung (10 cases ), liver (8cases ), supraclavicular lymphnode(2 cases ) and spine(1 cases). 5. 27 cases of hydronephrosis, 6 cases ofhematometra and 4 cases of ascites were found in post-radiation group. 6.
