Abstract
Methods We grouped the patients who had undergone cervical cancer surgery in a hospital in this article and compared the nanodrug carrier system under CT imaging with traditional laparoscopy. The postoperative physical parameters of surgical patients are collected from cervical cancer patients of different degrees, and the parameters and prognostic health of patients after different operations are compared. Results The results of the study show that the postoperative patient's body parameters of the nanodrug delivery system under the CT imaging technology used in this article are better than those of the traditional surgery group, and the average intraoperative blood loss is about 20% less than that of the traditional surgery. Postoperative complications occur. The situation is even lower, more than 30% lower than traditional surgery. Conclusion This shows that the operation of the nanodrug delivery system based on CT imaging technology has broken through some of the limitations of the development of laparoscopic technology and has played an important role in the surgical treatment of cervical cancer.

Abstract
Radical surgery after cervical conization is a common approach for the treatment of cervical cancer. In some cases, disease progression is observed after positive margins at conization, but the effect of conization on disease progression remains unclear. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the clinical outcomes of positive margins at conization in cervical cancer. A total of 101 patients who underwent cervical conization before radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection were considered eligible by reviewing medical records. The association between the positive margins and patient outcomes, including subsequent lymph node metastasis, was evaluated. The rate of lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) positivity at radical surgery was significantly higher in patients with positive margins (p = 0.017) than in those with negative margins, although there was no significant difference in the rate of pelvic lymph node metastasis (p = 0.155). Moreover, there was no significant difference in the overall survival or progression-free survival between the two groups (p = 0.332 and 0.200, respectively). A positive margin at conization presented no significant prognostic disadvantage; thus, diagnostic conization is one of the most suitable treatment options for early-stage cervical cancer that is difficult to accurately assess.

Can Conization Specimens Predict Sentinel Lymph Node Status in Early-Stage Cervical Cancer? A SENTICOL Group Study. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13215423. [PMID: 34771586 PMCID: PMC8582355 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13215423] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2021] [Revised: 10/07/2021] [Accepted: 10/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Lymph node involvement is one of the major prognosis factors for early-stage cervical cancer. Improvement in preoperative identification of node-positive patients may lead to a more accurate triage to primary chemoradiation for these patients instead of radical surgery followed by adjuvant radiotherapy, given the increased morbidity of combined treatment. Several studies have well established risk factors for node involvement, but they are based on final pathologic examination of radical hysterectomy specimens and are usually extrapolated for preoperative risk assessment. Among these risk factors, tumor size, lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) and depth of stromal invasion might be assessed in conization specimens. Our findings suggest that patients with depth of stromal invasion lower than 10 mm and no LVSI in conization specimens had lower risk of micro- and macrometastatic SLN. In this subpopulation, full node dissection may be questionable in case of SLN unilateral detection. Abstract Background: The prognosis of patients with cervical cancer is significantly worsened in case of lymph node involvement. The goal of this study was to determine whether pathologic features in conization specimens can predict the sentinel lymph node (SLN) status in early-stage cervical cancer. Methods: An ancillary analysis of two prospective multicentric database on SLN biopsy for cervical cancer (SENTICOL I and II) was carried out. Patients with IA to IB2 2018 FIGO stage, who underwent preoperative conization before SLN biopsy were included. Results: Between January 2005 and July 2012, 161 patients from 25 French centers fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Macrometastases, micrometastases and Isolated tumor cells (ITCs) were found in 4 (2.5%), 6 (3.7%) and 5 (3.1%) patients respectively. Compared to negative SLN patients, patients with micrometastatic and macrometastatic SLN were more likely to have lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) (60% vs. 29.5%, p = 0.04) and deep stromal invasion (DSI) ≥ 10 mm (50% vs. 17.8%, p = 0.04). Among the 93 patients with DSI < 10 mm and absence of LVSI on conization specimens, three patients (3.2%) had ITCs and only one (1.1%) had micrometastases. Conclusions: Patients with DSI < 10 mm and no LVSI in conization specimens had lower risk of micro- and macrometastatic SLN. In this subpopulation, full node dissection may be questionable in case of SLN unilateral detection.

J Gynecol Obstet Hum Reprod 2021; 50:102145. [PMID: 33848645 DOI: 10.1016/j.jogoh.2021.102145] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2021] [Revised: 04/05/2021] [Accepted: 04/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Radical surgery is the standard primary treatment for patients with stage IB1 (FIGO 2009 staging) cervical cancer due to latent parametrial involvement. Recent studies suggested that less radical surgery was applicable for patients with no or low risk of parametrial involvement. In this study, we aimed to determine the incidence and possible predictive factors of parametrial involvement in patients with stage IB1 cervical cancer so as to evaluate whether less radical surgery was suitable for selected patients. METHODS Clinical data of patients who underwent type C radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy and diagnosed as stage IB1 cervical cancer at Union Hospital, Wuhan, China from October 2014 to December 2017 were collected and analysed retrospectively. The incidence of parametrial involvement was calculated and the risk factors for parametrial involvement were evaluated by univariate and multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS Among 282 eligible patients, 33 (11.7%) had parametrial involvement. Postmenopause, lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI), lymph node metastasis (LNM), deep stromal invasion (outer 1/3) and tumor size larger than 2 cm were statistically associated with parametrial involvement. Multivariate analysis showed that LNM (OR = 11.431; 95%CI: 3.455 - 37.821), deep stromal invasion (OR = 6.080; 95%CI: 1.814 - 20.382) and LVSI (OR = 7.147; 95%CI: 1.863-27.411) remained as independent risk factors for parametrial involvement in patients with stage IB1 cervical cancer. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of parametrial involvement in stage IB1 cervical cancer is non-negligible. Only LNM, LVSI and deep stromal invasion were independent predictors, which were not easy to evaluate accurately before surgery. Less radical surgery requires modified pre-treatment evaluation methods and prospective data support.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate predictive factors for the presence of residual disease after conization followed by definitive surgery in cervical cancer, and suggest a margin distance threshold that could predict residual disease. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed a series of 42 patients with early-stage cervical cancer who underwent primary conization before definitive surgical treatment from March 2009 to May 2020. All conization specimens were reviewed for endocervical, ectocervical, and radial margins. Cases with residual disease in magnetic resonance imaging before definitive surgery were excluded. RESULTS Thirty-three (78.6%) patients underwent hysterectomies and 9 (21.4%) trachelectomies ± lymph node staging. Twelve (28.6%) cases were stage IA1, 5 (11.8%) cases were stage IA2, 13 (31%) cases were stage IB1, 11 (26.2%) cases were stage IB2, and 1 (2.4%) case was stage IIIC1 [International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) 2019]. We found residual disease in 17 (40.4%) surgical specimens. Of the 20 patients with negative margins, there were still 3 (15%) cases with residual disease. Conversely, residual disease was identified in 14 (63.6%) of the 22 patients with positive cone margins (p = 0.001). Tumor size [odds ratio (OR) 1.71, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.02-1.33] and positive endocervical margin status (OR 33.6, 95% CI 3.85-293.3) were related to a higher risk of residual disease in multivariate analysis. Notably, all patients with tumors larger than 2 cm had residual disease, in contrast to 29.4% in lesions up to 2 cm (p = 0.002). CONCLUSION We found that tumor size and positive margin were predictive factors for residual disease. We could not suggest a reliable minimum margin distance threshold that could predict residual disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to assess the impact of low-volume metastasis (micrometastasis and isolated tumor cells) on disease-free survival (DFS) of women with early-stage cervical cancer. METHODS Women with clinically suspected stage 1A-IB2 (FIGO 2018 classification) disease who underwent retroperitoneal nodal staging between October 2010 and April 2018, were retrospectively analyzed. The group of women who had undergone lymphadenectomy and standard node pathologic analysis (H&E group), were compared to the group undergoing sentinel node mapping (SLN) and ultrastaging with or without lymphadenectomy (ultrastaging group). At a median follow-up of 45 months, the DFS curves were analyzed. RESULTS Overall, 573 patients were revised (272 in the H&E group and 302 in the ultrastaging group). Eighty-five patients presented lymph node metastasis (32 in H&E, 53 in ultrastaging). Ultrastaging protocol increased the rate of low-volume metastasis by 5.6%. Twenty patients showed exclusive micrometastasis or ITC's. Seventy-three recurrences occurred (35 in H&E, 38 in ultrastaging). Only 1 out of 53 patients in the ultrastaging group (1.9%) presented with micrometastasis recurred. The 3-year disease-free survival was 89% for the H&E group, and 88% for the ultrastaging group, respectively (p = 0.175). CONCLUSION Ultrastaging analysis allowed increasing the detection of low volume metastasis in women with early-stage cervical cancer. However, the type of nodal staging did not have an impact on patients' 3-year disease-free survival.

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
OBJECTIVES We aimed to assess the diagnostic value of frozen-section pathologic examination (FSE) of sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) in patients with early-stage cervical cancer. METHODS Two French prospective multicentric database on SLN biopsy for cervical cancer (SENTICOL I and II) were analysed. Patients with IA to IIA1 2018 FIGO stage, who underwent SLN biopsy with both FSE and ultrastaging examination were included. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Between 2005 and 2012, 313 patients from 25 centers fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Metastatic involvement of SLN was diagnosed in 52 patients (16.6%). Macrometastases, micrometastases and isolated tumor cells (ITCs) were found in 27, 12 and 13 patients respectively. Among the 928 SLNs analysed, FSE identified 23 SLNs with macrometastases in 20 patients and 5 SLNs with micrometastases in 2 patients whereas no ITCs were identified. Ultrastaging of negative SLNs by FSE found macrometastases, micrometastases and ITCs in additional 7, 11 and 17 SLNs. Ultrastaging increased significantly the rate of patients with positive SLN from 7% to 16.6% (p < 0.0001). The sensitivity and the negative predictive value of FSE were 42.3% and 89.7% respectively or 56.4% and 94.1% if ITCs were excluded. False-negative cases were more frequent with tumor size ≥ 20 mm (OR = 4.46, 95%IC = [1.45-13.66], p = 0.01) and preoperative brachytherapy (OR = 4.47, 95%IC = [1.37-14.63], p = 0.01) and less frequent with patients included in higher volume center (>5 patients/year) (OR = 0.09, 95%IC = [0.02-0.51], p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS FSE of SLN had a low sensitivity for detecting micrometastases and ITCs and a high negative predictive value for SLN status. Clinical impact of false-negative cases has to be assessed by further studies.

Abstract
PURPOSE Lymph node metastases significantly worsen the prognosis in cervical carcinoma. Risk factors-pathological and patient related-could select patients at high risk for lymph node involvement. METHODS This retrospective analysis was performed by analyzing data from patients with cervical carcinoma treated between 2000 and 2017 at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the University Hospital Ulm. RESULTS In total, 261 patients with cervical carcinoma (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IA-IIB) and lymphadenectomy with at least 10 removed lymph nodes were available for analysis. Overall, 86 (33.0%) patients had lymph node metastases; 73 patients had pelvic lymph node metastases only and 13 patients had both pelvic and paraaortic lymph node metastases. Lymph node metastases were found most often in the region of the external iliac artery and obturator fossa, with 57.0% and 54.7% of all 86 node-positive patients, respectively. Univariable analyses showed that presence of lymph node metastases was significantly associated with both preoperative FIGO stage (p = 0.001) and final pathological tumor stage (p < 0.001), status of resection margin (p = 0.002), lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI), (p < 0.001) and vascular space invasion, (p < 0.001). In a multivariable logistic regression model with presence of lymph node metastases (yes/no) as binary response variable, only LVSI (p < 0.001) and body mass index (BMI), (p = 0.035) remained as significant independent predictors of lymph node involvement. Subgroup analyses showed that LVSI was a significant predictive factor for lymph node involvement in patients with a preoperatively assessed FIGO stage < IIB (p < 0.001), but not for patients with a preoperatively assessed FIGO stage ≥ IIB (p = 0.122). CONCLUSIONS The risk factor LVSI should play an important role in deciding whether an individualized therapy concept is based on escalating or deescalating treatment. In future, the sentinel concept could reduce morbidity and at the same time provide an important prognostic assessment for a subset of cervical cancer patients.

Which factors predict parametrial involvement in early stage cervical cancer? A Turkish multicenter study. Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol 2019; 243:63-66. [PMID: 31675631 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejogrb.2019.10.033] [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: 06/04/2019] [Revised: 09/24/2019] [Accepted: 10/17/2019] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical and pathological factors for predicting the parametrial involvement (PI) in early stage cervical cancer. STUDY DESIGN This study included 406 patients with type III radical hysterectomy + pelvic ± para-aortic lymphadenectomy and FIGO stage I and II cervical adenocarcinoma, squamous type, and adenosquamous type cervical cancer. RESULTS The entire cohort of patients had lymphadenectomy performed. Early stage cervical cancer patients were evaluated. FIGO 2014 stage, uterine invasion, LVSI, surgical border involvement, vaginal metastasis, stromal invasion and lymph node metastasis were found to be effective for PI on univariate analyses. However; age, tumor type and tumor size did not determine the parametrial invasion. LVSI (HR: 4.438, 95%CI: 1.771-11.121; p = 0.001), lymph node metastases (HR: 2.418, 95%CI: 1.207-4.847; p = 0.013) and vaginal involvement (HR: 4.109, 95%CI: 1.674-10.087; p = 0.02) are independent prognostic factors on multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION Lymph node metastases, LVSI and surgical border involvement are independent prognostic factors for PI in early stage cervical cancer patients. Therefore, less radical surgical approaches for early stage tumors with no nodal spread, negative LVSI and no surgical border involvement are applicable.
