BACKGROUND Two options are possible for the management of early stage cervical cancer, without lymph node involvement: radical surgery or brachytherapy followed by surgery. The aim of this study was to compare overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) of early stage cervical cancers managed by uterovaginale brachytherapy followed by extrafasciale hysterectomy (group 1) or by radical...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the dissemination of cancer cells at laparoscopic hysterectomy according to the intraperitoneal cytology.Patients with endometrial cancer underwent total laparoscopic modified radical hysterectomy. Peritoneal wash cytology was performed on entering the peritoneal cavity before surgical preparation and just after hysterectomy.Seventy-eight patients underwent...

The radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy is the standard treatment for stages IA2-IB1 cervical cancer. In the literature, there is an ongoing debate whether less radical surgery (conization, simple trachelectomy or simple hysterectomy) can be a valuable option in selected patients with early-stage small volume cervical cancer. We report here a case of an elderly patient (80 years of...

Introduction There is an ongoing debate regarding the optimal local treatment modalities for stage IB1 and IIA1 cervical cancer. The aim of this study was to determine whether radical hysterectomy or definitive radiochemotherapy is superior in stage IB1 and IIA1 cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Methods From 1990 to 2010, a total of 3,769 patients with stage IB1 and IIA1 cervical SCC we...

Cervical cancer is one of the most common malignancy diagnosed during pregnancy. The experience of the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) with paclitaxel plus cisplatin during pregnancy is limited. Three pregnant women with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IB cervical cancer received NACT with paclitaxel plus cisplatin until fetal lung maturity, and then un...

Hypothesis / aims of study Uterine cervix cancer is the second most common cancer among women and is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in females [1]. Standard treatment for cervical cancer has been radical hysterectomy. Though many studies reported lower urinary tract dysfunction was the most common complication after radical pelvic surgery, there have been few studies on path...

BACKGROUND Non-randomised studies have suggested that the postoperative complications of (Campos LS, Limberger LF, Stein AT, Kalil AN) laparoscopic radical hysterectomy are similar to those in abdominal radical hysterectomy. However, no study evaluating postoperative pain comparing both techniques has been published thus far. Our objective was to compare pain intensity and other perioperative o...

For almost a century abdominal radical hysterectomy has been the standard surgical treatment of early-stage macroscopic carcinoma of the uterine cervix. The excessive parametrial resection of the original procedures of Wertheim, Okabayashi, and Meigs has later been "tailored" to tumor extent. Systematic pelvic and eventually periaortic lymph node dissection is performed to identify and treat re...
