Results: Between 2009 to 2014, a total of 8363 cervical cancer patients were referred to us, out of which 169 patients with carcinoma cervix in the age group of < 30 years were treated at our hospital. From the 169 patients, 52 patients were lost to follow up. Among 117 patients who were treated, 65(55.55%) had Disease Free survival of less than 6 months. According to the histopathology squamous cell carcinoma had a disease free survival (DFS) of 8.5 months, followed by adenocarcinoma 10.62 months.
