Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To update the oncological results and identify recurrent risk factors in young patients with early stage cervical cancers following abdominal radical trachelectomy (ART). DESIGN: Retrospective study. SETTING: A university-based cancer hospital. POPULATION: Three hundred and thirty-three patients. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis from a prospectively maintained database of patients undergoing ART from April 2004 to December 2017. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Survival rate, clinicopathological factors related to recurrences. RESULTS: Two hundred and seventy-one patients had squamous carcinomas (SCC), 51 had pure adenocarcinomas (AC), and 11 had adenosquamous carcinomas (AS). One hundred thirty-two women (39.6%) had tumours ≥2 cm. With a median follow up of 56 months (range, 6-169), 11 patients (3.3%) had recurrence, and five patients (1.5%) died. The cumulative 5-year recurrence-free survival and overall survival rates were 96.3 and 98.6%, respectively. The recurrence rate in women with tumours ≥2 cm was comparable to that in patients with tumours <2 cm (5.3 versus 2.0%, respectively, P = NS). However, the recurrence rate was significantly higher in patients with AS histology than those with AC and SCC histology (18.2, 3.9, and 2.6%, respectively, P < 0.05). All of the recurrent patients with AS histology had tumours ≥2 cm. Multivariate analysis showed that the only independent risk factor for recurrence was histology type. CONCLUSIONS: This updated series showed a favourable survival rate following ART. These results further supported that ART was a safe option for well-selected patients with stage IB1 cervical cancers ≥2 cm. However, if patients with tumours ≥2 cm have AS histology, they should be advised with great caution when contemplating ART. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT: Abdominal radical trachelectomy could be a safe, fertility-sparing option for strictly selected patients with stage IA1-IB1 cervical cancers ≤4 cm.
