LAPAROSCOPIC STAGING IN LOCALLY ADVANCED CERVICAL CANCER

Survival benefit of laparoscopic surgical staging-guided radiation therapy in locally advanced cervical cancer.

OBJECTIVE This study was designed to evaluate the survival benefit of laparoscopic surgical staging (LSS)-guided tailored radiation therapy (RT) in locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 89 LACC patients' medical records who primarily received non-surgical treatment, of which pretreatment LSS was performed in 20 (LSS group) and primary chemoradiation ther...

Experiences of pretreatment laparoscopic surgical staging in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer: results of a prospective study.

OBJECTIVE To prospectively evaluate the feasibility, safety, and survival of laparoscopic surgical staging in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer. METHODS From Oct 2001 to Jul 2006, a total of 83 consecutive patients were eligible for inclusion and underwent laparoscopic surgical staging. RESULTS Three patients with intraoperative great vessel injury and 1 patient in whom the col...

Morbidity of Staging Inframesenteric Paraaortic Lymphadenectomy in Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer Compared With Infrarenal Lymphadenectomy.

OBJECTIVE Extended-field chemoradiation is typically used for the management of patients with locally advanced cervical cancer. Given the low rate of skipped metastases above the inferior mesenteric artery, ilioinframesenteric dissection seems to be an acceptable pattern of paraaortic lymph node dissection (LND). Our objective is to compare the surgical morbidity of inframesenteric LND (IM-LND)...
