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…
Integrated pre-surgical diagnostic algorithm to define extent of disease in cervical cancer
2020
ObjectivesSurvival of patients with cervical cancer is strongly associated with the local extent of the primary disease. The aim of the study was to develop an integrated diagnostic algorithm, including ultrasonography (USG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and examination under anesthesia, to define the local extent of disease in patients with newly diagnosed cervical cancer.MethodsPatients with biopsy proven cervical cancer who underwent primary surgery from January 2013 to December 2018 in four participating centers were recruited. Patients who underwent USG, MRI, and examination under anesthesia prior to surgery were included in the study. Those for whom complete data were not availab…
Prevalence of lymph nodes in the parametrium of radical vaginal trachelectomy (RVT) specimen
2011
Objective: In order to evaluate radicality in fertility preserving surgery in women with early invasive cervical cancer we analyzed the parametrium of specimens of patients treated by radical vaginal trachelectomy for the presence of lymph nodes. We tried to identify morphologic factors associated with the presence of parametrial lymph nodes. Methods: We analyzed surgical specimens of 112 patients who underwent radical trachelectomy between June 2004 and April 2009 at the Department of Gynecologic Oncology at Charité Campus Benjamin Franklin and Campus Mitte. All parametrial tissue was step sectioned and a total of 1878H&E stained histological sections were analyzed. Results: In 8 patients …
EP273 A new integrated pre-surgical diagnostic algorithm to define the local extent of disease in women with cervical cancer
2019
Introduction/Background Survival of patients with cervical cancer is strongly associated with the local extent of the primary disease. For this reason, the new FIGO staging system has given greater importance to instrumental investigations in the pre-surgical evaluation. The objective of this study is to develop an integrated diagnostic algorithm, including ultrasound (US), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and clinical examination under anaesthesia (CEUA), to better define the local extent of disease in patients with newly diagnosed cervical cancer, using histology as the referring gold standard. Methodology Patients with biopsy proven cervical cancer submitted to primary surgery from Janua…
343 External validation of tumour-free distance as novel prognostic marker in early-stage cervical cancer undergoing primary surgery
2020
Introduction Tumor-free distance (TFD), defined as the minimum distance of uninvolved stroma between the tumor and peri-cervical stromal ring, was recently proposed as predictive marker of recurrence in patients with early-stage cervical cancer treated by primary surgery (particularly if ≤3.5 mm). The aims of the present study were to assess the prognostic value of TFD and to compare TFD with other known prognostic markers in early-stage cervical cancer. Methods Patients with pathologic FIGO 2009 stage IA1-IIB cervical cancer, treated by primary radical surgical treatment between 01/2000 and 12/2018, were retrospectively included. Adjuvant treatment was administered according to the presenc…
