Predictors for pathological parametrial invasion in clinical stage IIB cervical cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine predictors of pathological parametrial invasion in clinical stage IIB cervical cancer, and to examine prognostic factors in pathological stage IIB disease.

Methods

This study is an ancillary analysis of a nation-wide retrospective cohort examining 6,003 clinical stage IB-IIB cervical cancers. Women with clinical stage IIB disease who underwent primary radical hysterectomy with lymphadenectomy were examined (n = 714). Multivariate analysis was performed to identify independent clinico-pathological factors for pathological parametrial invasion and to identify independent prognostic factors in pathological stage IIB disease.

Results

Parametrial invasion was identified on the surgical specimen in 400 cases (56.0%, 95% confidence interval 52.4-59.7). O
