Surgery for cervical cancer: consensus & controversies.
Indian Journal of Medical Research 2021 August
Surgery plays an important role in the management of early-stage cervical cancer. Type III radical hysterectomy with bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection using open route is the standard surgical procedure. There is level I evidence against the use of laparoscopic/robotic approach for radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer. Emerging data support the use of sentinel lymph node biopsy and nerve sparing radical hysterectomy in carefully selected patients with early-stage disease. In locally advanced cervical cancer patients, the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) followed by radical surgery yields inferior disease-free survival compared to definitive concurrent chemoradiation therapy. Therefore, definitive concurrent chemoradiation is the standard treatment for locally advanced disease. Fertility preserving surgery is feasible in highly selected young patients. Role of less-radical surgical procedures in patients' with low-stage disease with good prognostic factors is under evaluation.
