Method: 115 patients were clinically staged and evaluated by CT. Treatment record of radiotherapy was available. Results: Paraaortic and pelvic lymph node involvement was seen to be increasing with advancing stage of carcinoma of cervix. Highest lymphatic involvement was seen with SCK type of histopathology.
