Simple trachelectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy as a viable treatment option in pregnant patients with stage IB1 (≥2 cm) cervical cancer: Bridging the gap to fetal viability
Gynecologic Oncology Jun 08, 2018
Salvo G, et al. - Whether simple trachelectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy are viable as treatment options in patients with stage IB1 (≥2 cm) cervical cancer wishing to maintain their pregnancy was investigated. Researchers analyzed data on demographics, perioperative, obstetrics, and oncologic outcomes for this patient population. They found that it was feasible to perform trachelectomy and lymphadenectomy in pregnant patients with stage IB1 cervix cancer. Simple trachelectomy provided favorable long-term overall survival, with low perioperative morbidity. Overall, for such a patient populace, simple trachelectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection may be a safe option.
