: The current status of cervical cancer treatment in Denmark is discussed. Diagnostic aspects and problems of classification are presented briefly supplemented with a comment on new prognostic parameters based on a semiquantitative score system and flow cytometry. Surgery is the treatment of election for the early stages whereas radiotherapy is the treatment of choice in advanced stages. Chemotherapy should only be employed in the framework of clinical trials. It is concluded that centralised treatment should be maintained.
