Zhonghua Fu Chan Ke za Zhi 2006 April
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the therapeutic efficacies of preserving fertility treatment in patients with early cervical cancer.
METHODS: Sixteen patients with early cervical cancer treated by laparoscopic vaginal radical trachelectomy and pre- or postoperative chemotherapy were analyzed retrospectively, focusing on the treatment indication and management of high risk patients.
RESULTS: The median age was 29 years (range 26 to 34 years). Eleven were nulligravida and 4 multipara. All patients had a desire to maintain fertility. For clinical stage, 2 were stage Ia2, 13 stage Ib1 and 1 stage Ib2. Fifteen patients had squamous cell carcinoma and 1 had adenosquamous cell carcinoma. Mean operative time was 3 hours and 12 minutes, and mean blood loss was 320 ml. There were no intra- or postoperative complications. With mean follow-up time of 13 months, one patient had recurrence (6%), and no one became pregnant.
CONCLUSIONS: It is possible to preserve fertility in the treatment of patients with early cervical cancer, but treatment indication should be considered carefully. The management of high risk patients should be investigated extensively.
