A matched analysis comparing 250 patients less than 35 years old with squamous cell cancer of the cervix treated between 1971 and 1981 to a randomly selected group matched on treatment who were greater than 35 years old was performed. A chart review that focused on important prognosticators for survival and progression-free interval was performed. The groups were found to be similar for the important prognosticators. Overall survival and progression-free intervals were plotted using Kaplan-Meier curves and demonstrated that for advanced stages, younger patients were less likely to survive and more likely to recur. Cox proportional-hazard analyses were performed, looking at important prognosticators of survival and progression-free interval. Age, stage, positive lymph nodes, and cervical diameter emerged as statistically significant predictors of survival, while stage, positive lymph nodes, and cervical diameter emerged as statistically significant predictors of progression-free interval. The plot of relative hazard by stage of younger versus older patients showed an interaction between age and stage that merits further exploration.
