Oncologic Outcome Of Stage Iia1 Cervical Cancer: Is Surgical Treatment Justified?

Objective: Data on the outcome of stage IIA cervical cancer are limited, as these tumors account for a small percentage of early tumors. National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines suggest consideration of surgical management for small tumors with vaginal involvement. Since stratification of the risk of postoperative radiation is essential to select patients for surgical management, our objective in this study was to assess the risk of adjuvant radiotherapy in stage IIA cervical cancer and to investigate its associated features.
