How to select early-stage cervical cancer patients still suitable for laparoscopic radical hysterectomy: a propensity-matched study
2020
Background: Recently, it was reported that minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has a negative impact on early-stage cervical cancer (ECC) patient survival. At the same time, advantages of MIS regarding quality of life and low rate of intra- and postoperative complications are well known. Therefore, it is essential to select patients who may benefit from MIS without worsening their oncologic outcomes. The aim of this study is to investigate which pathological factors could guide surgeons’ choice about the best approach in ECC. Patients and Methods: Patients with 2009 FIGO stage from IA1 with lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) to IB1/IIA1 treated by open or laparoscopic surgery were judged eli…
EP260 Is there still a role for laparoscopic radical hysterectomy? Personalizing surgical approach in early stage cervical cancer
2019
Introduction/Background To compare survival outcomes of laparoscopic and open surgery for radical hysterectomy (RH) among patients with early-stage cervical cancer (CC) and to identify which subgroups may benefit from one approach rather than the other. Methodology 237 and 303 consecutive patients, with clinical FIGO stage from IA1 with lymph vascular space involvement to IB1/IIA1 CC underwent open and laparoscopic RH respectively in 3 Italian Institutions. Differences in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) between the two surgical approaches were tested in the entire population and in different patient‘s subgroups. Results Median follow up was 34 months. Open and laparoscopy procedure…
