Treatment and Impact of Cervical-Cancer-Related Lymphatic Disorders on Quality of Life and Sexuality Compared with Controls.

Lymphatic disorders are frequent complications related to treatment for cervical cancer (CC). The aims of the study are to evaluate the impact of lymphatic disorders on quality of life (QOL) and sexuality in CC survivors after the completion of oncological treatment and to compare them with controls. An ambispective cohort study was performed by using the Functional Assessment Cancer Therapy (FACT)-Cervix (Cx) fourth version, the World Health Organization Quality of Life-Brief Version (WHOQOL-BREF), and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI).

Incidence and univariate models for lymphatic drainage disorders following management for cervical cancer.

Aim: To clarify the incidence of lymphatic drainage disorders (LLD) after treatment for cervical cancer (CC) and to establish univariate models for their occurrence.

Methods: A total of 263 eligible patients with CC were identified between 2010 and 2019. We conducted a case-control study and divided the study population into two subsamples of 12 and 251 CC survivors based on the presence/absence of LLD, respectively.
