Role of extensive lymphadenectomy in early-stage cervical cancer patients with radical hysterectomy followed by adjuvant radiotherapy
International Journal of Gynecological Cancer Jul 08, 2018
Tomita N, et al. - In early-stage cervical cancer patients who received radical hysterectomy followed by adjuvant radiotherapy (RT), researchers assessed the effect of extensive lymphadenectomy on survival. They retrospectively analyzed early-stage patients with high-risk factors with radical hysterectomy with lymphadenectomy followed by adjuvant RT and divided them into the less than or equal to 40 dissected pelvic lymph nodes (DPLN ≤ 40) and greater than 40 dissected pelvic lymph nodes (DPLN > 40) groups to assess the effect of extensive lymphadenectomy. More extensive lymphadenectomy seemed to significantly improve the outcomes of patients with positive pelvic lymph nodes, even followed by adjuvant RT.
