EDITORIAL COMMENT: The authors of this paper agreed to present their data concerning the changing incidence of primary adenocarcinoma of the cervix in an Indian centre as a summarized report. The interval of follow‐up (6 moths) is short but the numbers of patients studied are large. There has been an increase in the number and percentage of cervical adenocarcinomas; in this series follow‐up at 6 months suggests that prognosis is worse in women with adenocarcinoma compared to those with squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix.
