Summary: A retrospective study was made of 110 patients treated for recurrent cervical cancer at National Women's Hospital, Auckland, New Zealand, between 1946 and 1970. The methods of re‐treatment tended to be conservative and gave comparable results to those obtained from other centres where a more aggressive policy was followed. The patient who receives treatment for recurrent cancer of the cervix may have a small chance of cure, even if only palliation is intended, and has a definite advantage over the patient who receives no treatment.
