Li X, et al. - Researchers conducted a retrospective study of a prospectively maintained database of patients undergoing abdominal radical trachelectomy (ART) to identify recurrent risk factors in young patients with early-stage cervical cancers after ART. Of 333 patients, 271 patients had squamous carcinomas (SCC), 51 had pure adenocarcinomas (AC), and 11 had adenosquamous carcinomas (AS). Findings revealed a promising survival rate following ART. For well-selected patients with stage IB1 cervical cancers ≥2 cm, ART is a safe option. Significantly higher recurrence rate in patients with AS histology vs AC and SCC histology led researchers to recommend they exercise great caution when contemplating ART.
