Identification of a low risk population for parametrial invasion in patients with early-stage cervical cancer.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Recent studies have challenged radical procedures for less extensive surgery in selected patients with early-stage cervical cancer at low risk of parametrial invasion. Our objective was to identify a subgroup of patients at low risk of parametrial invasion among women having undergone surgical treatment. METHODS:Data of 1447 patients with cervical cancer treated between 1996 and 2016 were extracted from maintained databases of 10 French University hospitals. Patients with early-stage (IA2-IIA) disease treated by radical surgery including hysterectomy and trachelectomy, were selected for further analysis. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the survival distribution. A Cox proportional hazards model including all the parameters statistically significant in univariate ana
