This conference concerns economic, psychosocial, preventive, and medical aspects of the care of an indigent, unemployed, 22-year-old mother of three who died of an invasive, large cell, nonkeratinizing cervical cancer 35 months after her last Pap smear, 19 months after the onset of vaginal discharge, 12 months after consulting a physician, 10 months after an exploratory laparotomy, nine months after initiation of radiation therapy, five months after performance of a colostomy, four months after initiation of chemotherapy, and three months after treatment of small bowel obstruction with hyperalimentation and resection.

A 63-year-old woman, who had undergone radical hysterectomy and radiation therapy for cervical cancer of the uterus three years previously, was found to have pleural effusion and ascites. A diagnosis of chylothorax and chylous ascites was made on the basis of these fluids' characteristics. She received medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) in her diet and intra-venous hyperalimentation to decrease the leakages of chyle into the pleural and peritoneal cavities, but she died of respiratory and renal failures after six months. At autopsy, metastases from the cervical cancer of the uterus to the lymph nodes in the mediastinum and around the abdominal aorta were proved histologically. Lymph node swelling due to metastasis had caused a rupture of the thoracic duct, leading to chylothorax and chylous ascites. The diagnosis, evaluation and therapeutic modalities of the condition are outlined and the literature reviewed.
