Objective: To identify a subset of patients with stage IA2-IB1 cervical cancer and small tumors (≤2cm) who could be suitable for less radical surgery.

Methods: In a retrospective study, the medical records of women treated at nine hospitals in China were reviewed. Included women had undergone radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection. The clinicopathologic factors associated with uterine isthmus invasion (UII), vaginal invasion (VI), parametrial invasion (PI), lymph node metastasis (LNM), and prognosis were analyzed.

Results: Overall, 1632 women were included. Tumor size greater than 2cm (measured postoperatively) was an independent predictor of VI (P=0.002), PI (P=0.001), and UII (P=0.021). Squamous cell carcinoma and superficial stromal invasion were associated with a low frequency of UII (P<0.001 for both). Among patients with adenocarcinoma, deep stromal invasion and lymphovascular space involvement (LVSI) were independently associated with UII (P=0.006 and P=0.004, respectively). Grade 2/3 disease (P=0.009), deep stromal invasion (P=0.015), and LVSI (P<0.001) were independently associated with LNM. LNM was the only independent adverse factor for survival (P<0.001).

Conclusion: Women with stage IA2-IB1 cervical cancer with low-risk factors could be candidates for large-scale prospective clinical trials of less radical surgery and lymphadenectomy omission.

The Laparoscopic Approach to Cervical Cancer (LACC) trial was published in 2018 and demonstrated that minimally invasive surgery (MIS) yields inferior survival outcomes in early-stage cervical cancer compared to open surgery. This study investigates how the results of the LACC trial have impacted the selection of the primary treatment modality and adjuvant radiation utilization in early-stage cervical cancer. Using the National Cancer Database (NCDB), we compared patients with stage IA2-IB1 cervical cancer before (1/2016-12/2017) and after (1/2019-12/2020) the LACC trial.

Objective: Radical hysterectomy has long been considered as the standard surgical treatment for early-stage cervical cancer (IA2 to IB1 stages), according to the 2009 International Federation of Obstetrics and Gynecology. This study aims to conduct an in-depth evaluation of the effectiveness and safety of non-radical surgery as an alternative treatment for patients with early-stage cervical cancer.

Methods: A systematic search of online databases including PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library was conducted to identify relevant literature on surgical treatment options for early-stage cervical cancer.

Objective: To compare the pelvic lymph node involvement and risk of recurrence in patients with human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated endocervical adenocarcinoma stage IA2-IB1 undergoing hysterectomy and/or trachelectomy plus lymphadenectomy, according to Silva's classification system.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed in two Colombian cancer centers. The cases were classified according to the Silva classification system.

Background: This systematic review (SR) and meta-analysis aims to compare the surgery-related results and oncological outcomes between SH and RH in patients with early-stage cervical cancer.

Method: We systematically searched databases including PubMed, Embase and Cochrane to collect studies that compared oncological and surgery-related outcomes between SH and RH groups in patients with stage IA2 and IB1 cervical cancer. A random-effect model calculated the weighted average difference of each primary outcome via Review Manager V.

Background: Radical hysterectomy (RH) is considered a cornerstone in the treatment of early-stage cervical cancer. However, the debate surrounding the optimal surgical approach, whether minimally invasive or open surgery, remains controversial. The objective of this trial is to evaluate the survival outcomes of cervical cancer patients who undergo different surgical approaches.
