[Modern treatment of early-stage cervical cancer].

Abstract

AIM:

In our study we tried to summerise our and foreign experience in the area of early stages of cervical cancer treatment

MATERIAL AND METHODS:

We examined 500 patients with early stage cervical cancer for 10 years period (1996-2006).

RESULTS:

We analised the following important factors when treating the early stages cervical cancers: the histopathology type of tumour, the type of the conisation, the number of the tissue sections, the resection line numbers, the LVSI and the desire of the patients to preserve fertility.

CONCLUSIONS:

When treating lesions with depth of invasion 1-3 mm we may use conosation if there is no invasion in the LVSI. If there is invasion we used lymph node dissection. For lesions with depth of invasion from 3-5 mm the optimal treatment regimen is simple hysterectomy with lymph node dissection both sides. In stage IB cervical cancer we used the best treatment choice: radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection.
