Study Summaries

Cisplatin-based concomitant chemoradiation resulted in superior DFS compared to neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radical surgery in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer.

Adjuvant pelvic radiotherapy significantly reduces the risk of cancer recurrence in women with Stage IB cervical cancer who have undergone radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy and possess specific high-risk factors. The treatment is associated with higher but acceptable morbidity.

There is no clear treatment of choice for early-stage cervical carcinoma in terms of overall or disease-free survival. Treatment should be tailored to individual patient factors such as menopausal status, age, medical conditions, histological type, and cervical diameter to achieve the best outcomes

Conservative surgery is feasible for select patients with early-stage, low-risk cervical cancer
