Abstract
We describe 24 consecutive patients with cervical cancer stage III or IV who received palliative urinary diversion by percutaneous nephrostomy. All patients had proven malignant ureteric obstruction, uremia and failed ureteric stenting. 11 of 17 patients with extensive primary cancer and local lymph node involvement had an acceptable quality of life for 2 or more months while the mean survival was 5.6 months. Patients with disseminated metastasizing cancer were not satisfactorily served by nephrostomy.Entities:
