The risk of lymph node metastasis in the new FIGO 2018 stage IA cervical cancer with >7 mm diameter.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

In the 2018 FIGO staging system, cervical cancers with ≤5 mm depth of invasion (DOI) and a diameter of >7 mm, first classified as stage IB, are classified as stage IA. In this group, it is unclear what the risk of lymph node metastasis (LNM) is. This retrospective cohort study aims to determine the incidence of LNM and to study the association between disease-related characteristics and LNM.

Methods

Women diagnosed with FIGO 2009 IB cervical cancer, with ≤5 mm DOI and a diameter >7 mm, treated with a radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy between 1985 and 2020 were selected from the databases of the Amsterdam University Medical Center and the University Medical Center Groningen. The specimens of patients with LNM were revised by expert pathologists. The in
