Background/aim: There is a lack of data concerning the surgical treatment of locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix (LACC) with neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy (NACT, ACT) as well as total mesometrial resection (TMMR). The aim of the study was to present a novel approach for treating LACC using a tumor response score for NACT.
Patients And Methods: A total of 12 patients with LACC were treated with NACT [cisplatin, ifosfamide, paclitaxel (TIP)], TMMR and ACT containing TIP. To measure the response during NACT, we scored i) the maximum tumor diameter (maxTD) in gynecological examination, ii) the MRI for radiologic maxTD, iii) the tumor volume and iv) the squamous cell carcinoma antigen before and after two applications of TIP.
Results: TIP reduced all score-parameters in 10 of 12 patients (p<0.005). We found a possible reduction of lymph node metastasis in 72.7%. The proposed score detected sufficient and insufficient tumor response.
Conclusion: TIP followed by TMMR with ACT could be a possibility for patients denying radiochemotherapy. The tumor response score can detect patients with inadequate benefit from NACT.

Background: According to international guidelines, standard treatment (ST) with curative intent in cervical cancer (CC) comprises radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy in early stages (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) 2009 IB1, IIA1), adjuvant chemoradiation is recommended based on risk factors upon final pathology. Definitive chemoradiation is recommended in locally advanced stages (FIGO 2009 IB2, IIA2, IIB). Total mesometrial resection (TMMR) with therapeutic lymph node dissection (tLND) without adjuvant radiation has emerged as a promising treatment.

Introduction: Cervical cancer management often relies on surgical interventions, among which open total mesometrial resection (TMMR) has gained prominence. This abstract gives an insight into the technique of TMMR in the surgical treatment of cervical cancer. TMMR involves precise dissection of the mesometrium surrounding the cervix, aiming for optimal oncological outcomes while minimizing surgical morbidity.

Background: Clinical progress in form of "total mesometrial resection" (TMMR) in cervical cancer and "total mesorectal excision" (TME) in rectal cancer can be traced to a paradigm-shift regarding the extent and range of resection. More significance is bestowed upon embryologically defined borders which define compartments, "morphogenetic units" and "cancer fields", that have to be addressed in order to avoid incomplete tumor resection. We want to transfer this rationale on the pancreas and define such borders for pancreatic compartments.

The myometrium, composed of the inner circular muscle (CM) and outer longitudinal muscle (LM), is crucial in establishing and maintaining early pregnancy. However, the molecular mechanisms involved are not well understood. In this study, we identified the transcriptomic features of the CM and LM collected from the mesometrial (M) and anti-mesometrial (AM) sides of the pig uterus on day 18 of pregnancy during the placentation initiation phase.

A radical hysterectomy is the standard method of surgical treatment for patients with early-stage cancer of the uterine cervix. It was first introduced more than 100 years ago. Since then, various and many different radical procedures, which diverge in terms of radicality, have been described.
