Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is a widely used technique in other gynaecological tumours but has not yet been implemented as the gold standard technique for nodal staging in cervical cancer. Since the majority of evidence is derived from retrospective studies, this review aims to summarize the most recent evidence on this relevant topic. RECENT FINDINGS SLNB has demonstrated to be a well tolerated technique for lymph node staging in early-stage cervical cancer patients with promising future as exclusive lymph node assessment method avoiding full lymphadenectomy. Moreover, it allows ultrastaging and unfrequent drainage identification, which enables the detection of patients at a high risk of recurrence who would otherwise remain unnoticed. When compared with pelvic lymphadenectomy, SLNB is also associated with less intraoperative and postoperative complications, especially in terms of lymphedema formation. SUMMARY The available evidence suggests that SLNB offers numerous advantages over the standard pelvic lymphadenectomy reducing morbidity rates and increasing diagnostic accuracy. Three ongoing prospective trials will likely answer the controversies over these questions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The literature is inconsistent on the prevalence and risk factors of urinary retention in patients with cervical cancer. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to review the literature on the prevalence of urinary retention in patients with cervical cancer and consolidate the risk factors. METHODS For this meta-analysis, eligible articles published in English or Chinese by December 10, 2021, were systematically searched for and retrieved from PubMed, Cochrane Library, Ovid-Embase Medline, Web of Science, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Scopus. Prevalence, odds ratios (ORs), and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used for meta-analysis. RESULTS Twenty-five studies were included in the analysis. The pooled overall prevalence was 0.26 (95% CI, 0.21-0.30, I2 = 95.0%). The identified risk factors were age (OR, 1.13; 95% CI, 1.08-1.19), urinary tract infection (UTI) (OR, 3.33; 95% CI, 1.48-7.49), surgical extent (OR, 2.95; 95% CI, 1.27-6.85), and catheter indwelling time (OR, 3.44; 95% CI, 2.43-3.87). CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of urinary retention in patients with cervical cancer is 0.26. Older age, UTI, longer catheter indwelling time, and a larger surgical extent may increase the risk of urinary retention. Clinicians should identify patients at risk and adopt interventions such as individualized catheter care. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Nursing staff should assess the risk of urinary retention in a patient with cervical cancer according to her age, presence of UTI, surgical extent, and catheterization time. A carefully chosen surgical procedure and interventions such as individualized education, timely catheter removal, treatment of UTI, and rehabilitation should be offered.

Bruno V, Chiofalo B, Logoteta A, Brandolino G, Savone D, Russo M, Sperduti I, Mancini E, Fabrizi L, Anceschi U, Vizza E. Urological Complications in Radical Surgery for Cervical Cancer: A Comparative Meta-Analysis before and after LACC Trial. J Clin Med 2023; 12:5677. [PMID: 37685744 PMCID: PMC10488957 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12175677] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2023] [Revised: 08/17/2023] [Accepted: 08/20/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND After the LACC trial publication in 2018, the minimally invasive approach (MIS) has severely decreased in favor of open surgery: MIS radical hysterectomy was associated with worse oncological outcomes than open surgery, but urological complications were never extensively explored in pre- versus post-LACC eras, even if they had a great impact on post-operative QoL. The purpose of this meta-analysis is to compare functional and organic urological complication rates before and after LACC trial. METHODS An independent search of the literature was conducted 4 years before and after the LACC trial and 50 studies were included. RESULTS The overall rate of urologic complications was higher in pre-LACC studies while no differences were found for organic urological complications. Conversely, the overall risk of dysfunctional urological complications showed a higher rate in the pre-LACC era. This is probably related to a sudden shift to open surgery, with potential lower thermal damage to the urinary tract autonomic nervous fibers. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis showed that the incidence of urological complications in radical cervical cancer surgery was higher before the LACC trial, potentially due to the shift to open surgery. Nevertheless, further studies are needed to shed light on the connection between minimally invasive surgery and urological damage.

Gynecol Oncol 2023; 173:122-129. [PMID: 37137189 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygyno.2023.04.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2023] [Revised: 04/22/2023] [Accepted: 04/25/2023] [Indexed: 05/05/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine uptake, characteristics, and survival outcome of less-radical fertility-sparing surgery with cervical conization and lymph node evaluation (Cone-LN) in reproductive age patients with early cervical cancer. METHODS This retrospective cohort study examined the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program. The study population included 407 patients aged <50 years with stage IA-IB2 (≤4 cm) cervical cancer who received fertility-sparing surgery from 2004 to 2019. The exposure was fertility-sparing surgery type: Cone-LN (n = 196) or trachelectomy with lymph node evaluation (Trach-LN, n = 211). The main co-outcomes were (i) temporal trends of surgery type, assessed with Cochran-Armitage test, and (ii) clinical and tumor characteristics, assessed with multivariable binary logistic regression model. The secondary outcome was overall survival, assessed with inverse probability of treatment weighting propensity score. RESULTS The number of patients receiving Cone-LN increased from 43.5% in 2004-2007 to 58.4% in 2016-2019 (P-trend = 0.005). Patients receiving conization and sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy alone increased from 0% to 14.4% (P-trend < 0.001). In a multivariable analysis, patients in the Cone-LN group were more likely to undergo SLN biopsy (aOR 6.04) compared to those in the Trach-LN group whereas those with adenocarcinoma (aOR 0.49) and T1b tumors (aOR for ≤2 cm 0.21, and aOR for 2.1-4.0 cm 0.10) were less likely to receive Cone-LN. In a propensity score-weighted model, the Cone-LN and Trach-LN groups had comparable overall survival (7-year rates, 98.9% vs 97.8%). Similar associations were observed for patients with squamous, adenocarcinoma / adenosquamous, T1a classification, and T1b(≤2 cm) classification. CONCLUSION The current population-based analysis suggests that the performance of cervical conization with lymph node evaluation, particularly with SLN biopsy, is gradually increasing for early cervical cancer patients desiring future fertility.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There is a paucity of international data regarding self-reported lower extremity lymphedema and quality of life after surgery for gynecological cancer. Validated questionnaires are emerging, but translated versions are lacking. Cross-cultural adaptation is important to reduce the risk of introducing bias into a study. OBJECTIVE To translate and culturally adapt the Gynecologic Cancer Lymphedema Questionnaire and the Lower Extremity Lymphedema Screening Questionnaire for a Norwegian population. METHODS Permission to use the original English versions of the Gynecologic Cancer Lymphedema Questionnaire and the Lower Extremity Lymphedema Screening Questionnaire for translation was obtained. The questionnaires were translated using a procedure based on standard guidelines, including forward translation by native speakers of the target language, synthesis, back translation, and review. Seventeen patients from the Norwegian Radium Hospital gynecological cancer outpatient clinic, all expected to have stable disease, were invited for questionnaire test-retest by completing the same questionnaires twice at 3-4-week intervals. Internal consistency was assessed by calculating Cronbach's alpha. Test-retest reliability was assessed using an intra-class correlation coefficient. RESULTS Twelve patients completed the questionnaires twice. Cronbach's alpha was 0.75 for the Gynecologic Cancer Lymphedema Questionnaire and 0.89 for the Lower Extremity Lymphedema Screening Questionnaire. The intra-class correlation coefficient was 0.86 for the Gynecologic Cancer Lymphedema Questionnaire and 0.91 for the Lower Extremity Lymphedema Screening Questionnaire. CONCLUSIONS Translation and cross-cultural adaptation of these internationally validated patient-reported outcomes questionnaires for survivors of lower extremity lymphedema in gynecological cancer was feasible. The Norwegian translation of the Gynecologic Cancer Lymphedema Questionnaire and the Lower Extremity Lymphedema Screening Questionnaire showed acceptable internal consistency and the test-retest reliability was excellent.

Abstract
Cervical cancer has a high incidence of malignant tumors and a high mortality rate, with squamous cervical carcinoma (SCC) accounting for 80% of cases. A competing-risks model is recommended as being more feasible for evaluating the prognosis and guiding clinical practice in the future compared to Cox regression. Data originating from the Surveillance, epidemiology, and end results (SEER) database during 2004 to 2013 were analyzed. Univariate analysis with the cumulative incidence function was performed to assess the potential risk of each covariate. Significant covariates (P < .05) were extracted for inclusion in a Cox regression analysis and a competing-risks model that included a cause-specific (CS) hazard function model and a sub-distribution (SD) hazard function model. A total of 5591 SCC patients met the inclusion criteria. The three methods (Cox regression analysis, CS analysis, and SD analysis) showed that age, metastasis, American Joint Committee on Cancer stage, surgery, chemotherapy, radiation sequence with surgery, lymph node dissection, tumor size, and tumor grade were prognostic factors affecting survival in patients with SCC. In contrast, race and radiation status were prognostic factors affecting survival in the Cox regression and CS analysis, but the results were different in the SD analysis. Being separated, divorced, or widowed was an independent prognostic factor in the Cox regression analysis, but the results were different in the CS and SD analyses. A competing-risks model was used as a new statistical method to more accurately identify prognostic factors than conventional Cox regression analysis leading to bias in the results. This study found that the SD model may be better suited to estimate the clinical prognosis of a patient, and that the results of an SD model analysis were close to those of a CS analysis.

Abstract
Although significant progress has been made with surgical methods, the incidence of complications after minimally invasive surgery in patients with cervical cancer remains high. Established as a standardized system, Clavien-Dindo classification (CDC) has been applied in a variety of surgical fields. This study is designed to evaluate the complications after robot-assisted radical hysterectomy (RRH) for cervical cancer using CDC and further establish a prediction model. This is a study on the development of prediction model based on retrospective data. Patients with cervical cancer who received RRH treatment in our hospital from January 2016 to April 2019 were invited to participate in the study. The demographic data, laboratory and imaging examination results and postoperative complications were collected, and the logistic regression model was applied to analyze the risk factors possibly related to complications to establish a prediction model. 753 patients received RRH. The overall incidence of complications was 32.7%, most of which were grade I and grade II (accounting for 30.6%). The results of multivariate analysis showed that the preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy (OR = 1.693, 95%CI: 1.210-2.370, P = 0.002), preoperative ALT (OR = 1.028, 95%CI: 1.017-1.039, P < 0.001), preoperative urea nitrogen (OR = 0.868, 95%CI: 0.773-0.974, P = 0.016), preoperative total bilirubin (OR = 0.958, 95%CI: 0.925-0.993, P = 0.0.018), and preoperative albumin (OR = 0.937, 95%CI: 0.898-0.979, P = 0.003) were related to the occurrence of postoperative complications. The area under the curve (AUC) of receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) in the prediction model of RRH postoperative complications established based on these five factors was 0.827 with 95% CI of 0.794-0.860. In patients undergoing robot-assisted radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer, preoperative ALT level, urea nitrogen level, total bilirubin level, albumin level, and neoadjuvant chemotherapy were significantly related to the occurrence of postoperative complications. The regression prediction model established on this basis showed good prediction performance with certain clinical promotion and reference value.

Abstract
In 2020, the World Health Organization launched a major initiative to eliminate cervical cancer globally. The initiative is built around the three key pillars of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination, cervical screening and treatment, with associated intervention targets for the year 2030. The '90-70-90' targets specify that 90% of adolescent girls receive prophylactic HPV vaccination, 70% of adult women receive a minimum twice-in-a-lifetime cervical HPV test and 90% receive appropriate treatment for preinvasive or invasive disease. Modelling has shown that if these targets are met, the elimination of cervical cancer, defined as fewer than four cases per 100 000 women per annum, will be achieved within a century. Many high-income countries are well positioned to eliminate cervical cancer within the coming decades, but few have achieved '90-70-90' and many challenges must still be addressed to deliver these critical interventions effectively. This review considers the current status of cervical cancer control in relation to each of the three elimination pillars in high-income countries and discusses some of the developments that will assist countries in reaching these ambitious targets by 2030.

Effect of the Number of Removed Lymph Nodes on Survival in Patients with FIGO Stage IB-IIA Cervical Squamous Cell Carcinoma following Open Radical Hysterectomy with Pelvic Lymphadenectomy: A Retrospective Cohort Study. JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY 2021; 2021:6201634.

Abstract
Objective To determine whether the number of removed lymph nodes (RLN) is associated with survival in patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IB-IIA cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC). Methods We reviewed the medical records of FIGO stage IB-IIA CSCC patients who underwent standardized radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy (RHPL) in our center between 2006 and 2014. The X-tile software was performed to calculate the optimal grouping of cutoff points for RLN. The impact of RLN on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) was analyzed using Cox regression analysis. Results Among 3,127 patients, the mean number of RLN was 22, and positive lymph node (LN) was found in 668 (21.4%) patients. X-tile plots identified “21” and “16” as the optimal cutoff value of RLN to divide the patients into two groups in terms of PFS and OS separately. In all patients, the number of RLN was not associated with PFS (P=0.182) or OS (P=0.193). Moreover, in both LN positive and negative patients, the number of RLN was not associated with either PFS (P=0.212 and P=0.540, respectively) or OS (P=0.173 and P=0.497, respectively). Cox regression analysis showed that the number of RLN was not an independent prognostic factor for PFS or OS. Conclusion If standardized RHPL was performed, the number of RLN was not an independent prognostic factor for survival of patients with FIGO stage IB-IIA CSCC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A systematic review was performed to examine the outcomes of simple hysterectomy for women with low-risk, early-stage cervical cancer. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched from inception until November 4, 2020. STUDY ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA Original research reporting recurrence or survival outcomes among women with early-stage cervical cancer (defined as stage IA2 to IB1 disease) who were treated with simple hysterectomy. METHODS Data regarding study characteristics, tumor characteristics, other treatment modalities, adjuvant therapy, recurrence, and survival outcomes were analyzed. Studies that reported both simple hysterectomy and radical hysterectomy outcomes were compared in a subgroup analysis. Summary statistics were reported and eligible studies were further analyzed to determine an estimated hazard ratio comparing simple hysterectomy with radical hysterectomy. RESULTS A total of 21 studies were included, of which 3 were randomized control trials, 14 retrospective studies, 2 prospective studies, and 2 population-level data sets. The cohort included 2662 women who underwent simple hysterectomy, of which 36.1% had stage IA2 disease and 61.0% stage IB1 disease. Most cases (96.8%) involved tumors of ≤2 cm in size, and 15.4% of cases were lymphovascular space invasion positive. Approximately 71.8% of women who underwent simple hysterectomy had a lymph node assessment, and 30.7% of women underwent adjuvant chemotherapy or radiation. The most common complications described were lymphedema (24%), lymphocysts (22%), and urinary incontinence (18.5%). The total death rate for studies that reported deaths was 5.5%. By stage, there was a 2.7% mortality rate among IA2 disease and a 7.3% mortality rate among IB1 disease. Of note, 18 studies reported outcomes for both simple and radical hysterectomy, with a 4.5% death rate in the radical hysterectomy group and a 5.8% death rate in the simple hysterectomy group. Estimated and reported hazard ratio demonstrated no significant association for mortality between radical and nonradical surgeries for IA2 disease but potentially increased risk of mortality among IB1 disease. All studies had a moderate to high risk of bias, including the 3 randomized control trials. Level of evidence was limited to III to IV. CONCLUSION The use of less radical surgery for women with stage IA2 and small volume IB1 cervical cancers appears favorable. However, there is concern that simple hysterectomy in women with stage IB1 tumors may adversely impact survival. Overall, the quality of studies available is modest, limiting the conclusions that can be drawn from the available literature.

Abstract
IntroductionRadical hysterectomy is the gold standard in the management of early-stage cervical cancer. Parametrectomy aims to remove occult disease but is associated with significant surgical morbidity. Avoiding unnecessary parametrectomy in a subset of patients at low risk of parametrial involvement may decrease the incidence of such morbidity. The purpose of this study was to identify patients at low risk of parametrial involvement in early-stage cervical cancer potentially eligible for less radical surgery based on pre-operative criteria and sentinel lymph node (SLN) status.MethodsWe performed an ancillary analysis of data from two prospective trials on sentinel node biopsy for cervical cancer (SENTICOL I and II). Patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) IA–IIA cervical cancer who underwent primary radical surgery and bilateral SLN mapping were identified between 2005 and 2012 from 25 French oncologic centers. Patients who underwent pre-operative brachytherapy or did not undergo radical surgery (simple trachelectomy, simple hysterectomy, or lymph node staging only) were excluded.ResultsOf 174 patients who fullfiled the inclusion criteria, 9 patients (5.2%) had parametrial involvement and 24 patients (13.8%) had positive SLN. Most patients had 2018 FIGO stage IB1 disease (86.1%) and squamous cell carcinomas (68.9%). Parametrial involvement was significantly associated with tumor size ≥20 mm on pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (adjusted odds ratio (ORa) 9.30, 95% CI 1.71 to 50.57, p=0.01) and micrometastic or macrometastatic SLN (ORa 8.98, 95% CI 1.59 to 50.84, p=0.01). Of 114 patients with tumors <20 mm on pre-operative MRI and negative SLN after ultrastaging, only one patient had parametrial involvement (0.9%). By triaging patients with both of these criteria in a two-step surgical procedure, unjustified and contra-indicated radical hysterectomy would have been avoided in 65.5% and 8.6% of cases, respectively.ConclusionsLess radical surgery may be an option for patients with bilateral negative SLN after ultrastaging and tumors <20 mm. SLN status should be integrated into the decision-making process for tailored surgery in early-stage cervical cancer.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the perioperative complications of patients with cervical cancer who are treated with robot-assisted radical hysterectomy (RRH) and to further evaluate the safety of patients undergoing NACT. Methods A total of 805 consecutive cervical cancer patients undergoing RRH were involved in this report. Their clinical characteristics were retrieved from hospital medical records. Perioperative complications were subdivided into intraoperative and postoperative complications, which were graded according to the Clavien-Dindo classification (CDC), and the complications of grade III and above were defined as severe complications. Furthermore, the two-level logistic regression model was used to estimate the risk factors of perioperative and severe complications and to further confirm the relationship between NACT and perioperative and severe complications. Results The perioperative complication rate and severe complications were 45.09% and 7.83%, respectively. Poorly differentiated tumor and NACT were identified as independent risk factors for perioperative complications by multifactor analysis. Furthermore, we concentrated on the relations between NACT and complications. The risk of perioperative complications of the group with NACT (OR = 11.08, 95% CI: 5.70-21.54) was significantly higher than the group without NACT, especially in postoperative complications (OR=17.65, 95% CI: 8.63-36.08), even after adjusting confounding factors. However, there was no statistically significant difference in terms of severe complications (OR=1.68, 95% CI: 0.64-4.41) and intraoperative complications (OR=0.51, 95% CI: 0.18-1.41). Moreover, as the times of NACT increase, the impact on perioperative complications is more pronounced. A similar trend was observed in postoperative complications, while this statistical difference was still not observed in intraoperative and severe complications. Conclusion This result demonstrates the feasibility and safety of RRH of cervical carcinoma after NACT in generally, since it only causes mild complications, not severe complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility and effect of mesureteral preservation on urinary complications in the context of total mesometrial resection (TMMR), a surgical treatment for cervical cancer. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study with historic control. SETTING Single tertiary academic centre. POPULATION Women older than 18 with primary cervical cancer staged FIGO IB1-IIB enrolled in the prospective Leipzig School MMR study and underwent total mesometrial resection (TMMR) without adjuvant radiation. METHOD We retrospectively analysed 100 consecutive TMMR procedures which were performed for cancer of the uterine cervix and in which the mesureter was preserved (intervention group, 01/2014-06/2017). We compared this group with the previous 100 consecutive TMMRs, which were performed before the introduction of mesureteral preservation (control group, 09/2010-01/2014). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The occurrence of urological and specifically ureteral complications. RESULTS Mesureteral preservation was feasible and was associated with a significant decrease in ureteral complications (11% without mesureteral preservation versus 3% with mesureteral preservation, P = 0.049). Furthermore, we found a significant decrease in the number of postoperative percutaneous nephrostomies and re-operations (7% versus none, P = 0.014). There was also a trend towards a decrease in other urinary complications such as postoperative bladder atony and uretero-vaginal fistulas. CONCLUSION The mesureter constitutes a convenient dissection plane enabling the preservation of lateral ureteral blood supply during TMMR. In our study, maintenance of mesureteral integrity was associated with a significant reduction in ureteral complications. Mesureteral preservation might also be useful in other types of pelvic surgeries that carry a high risk of ureteral damage. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT Surgical preservation of the mesureter in cervical cancer patients was associated with a reduction in urinary complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify use and outcomes of simple hysterectomy compared with radical hysterectomy for women with early-stage cervical cancer. METHODS The National Cancer Database was used to review the cases of women with stage IA2 and IB1 (2 cm or less) cervical cancer from 2004 to 2015. Patients were classified based on whether they underwent simple or radical hysterectomy. Survival was examined after propensity score weighting. RESULTS Simple hysterectomy was performed in 44.6% of women with stage IA2 (n=1,530) and 35.3% of those with stage IB1 (n=3,931) tumors. Rates of simple hysterectomy increased from 37.8% to 52.7% from 2004 to 2014 for stage IA2 cancers and from 29.7% to 43.8% between 2004 and 2013 for stage IB1 cancers. For stage IA2 cancers, younger women and those treated at an academic medical center were less likely to undergo simple hysterectomy. For stage IB1 cancers, black women were more likely to undergo simple hysterectomy, and those treated at an academic medical center were less likely to undergo simple hysterectomy. After propensity score weighting, there was no association between route of hysterectomy and survival for stage IA2 cancers (hazard ratio [HR] 0.70, 95% CI 0.41-1.20, 5-year survival 95.1% for radical hysterectomy vs 97.6% for simple hysterectomy). For stage IB1 cancers, patients who underwent simple hysterectomy were at 55% increased risk of death (HR 1.55, 95% CI 1.18-2.03, and 5-year survival was 95.3% for radical hysterectomy vs 92.4% for simple hysterectomy). CONCLUSION Although there was no association between surgical radicality and survival for women with stage IA2 tumors, there was a 55% increase in mortality for women with stage IB1 neoplasms who underwent simple compared with radical hysterectomy. Radical hysterectomy is the treatment of choice for women with stage IB1 cervical cancer.
