The correlation between different pathological features of biopsy specimen and the five year survival rate of 442 patients with carcinoma of uterine cervix treated in our hospital during 1968 to 1980, were studied by means of gradual regression. The result showed that the five year survival rate was influenced, at different levels, by the pathological features. The peritumoral lymphocytic infiltration was the most significant factor influencing the prognosis. Then were the fibrous tissue reaction and the cell type but the mode of invasion was insignificant. The best regression equation to predict the prognosis of patients with carcinoma of uterine cervix was established by gradual choosing. By this equation, we could directly calculate the probability of the five year survival of the patient. It was proved by retrospective and prospective analysis that the equation could accurately reflect the real five year survival rate of patients with carcinoma of uterine cervix.
