How Technology Can Impact Surgeon Performance: A Randomized Trial Comparing 3-Dimensional versus 2-Dimensional Laparoscopy in Gynecology Oncology
This randomized clinical trial (Canadian Task Force classification I) aimed to compare 2-dimension (2-D) versus 3-dimensional (3-D) laparoscopic hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy in endometrial and cervical cancer patients. Between December 2014 and March 2015, 90 patients were enrolled: 29 (32.2%) with early or locally advanced cervical cancer after neoadjuvant treatment and 61 (67.8%) with early-stage endometrial cancer. Patients were randomly assigned to undergo 2-D (Group A, n = 48 [53.3%]) or 3-D (Group B, n = 42 [46.7%)]) laparoscopy. Baseline characteristics were superimposable in the 2 groups. Median operative time was similar in the 2 groups. Median estimated blood loss durin…
Tumor Size, an Additional Risk Factor of Local Recurrence in Low-Risk Endometrial Cancer: A Large Multicentric Retrospective Study.
ObjectiveThe identification of patients with endometrial cancer (EC) at higher risk for relapse is critical to individualize and better tailor postoperative treatment. No evidence is available regarding the possible association between tumor size (TS) and the risk of local recurrence. The purpose of this study was to analyze the correlation between TS and risk/type of recurrence in EC patients, stratified according to the new European Society of Medical Oncology-European Society of Gynecological Oncology-European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology classification.MethodsData of patients with histologically proven EC who received primary surgical treatment between November 1999 and June 20…
