Total mesometrial resection (TMMR) for cervical cancer FIGO IB-IIA: first results from the multicentric TMMR register study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The surgical concept of total mesometrial resection (TMMR) and therapeutic lymphadenectomy (tLNE) for the treatment of early cervical cancer is based on the ontogenetic cancer field model. Unicentric data show excellent locoregional control rates without adjuvant chemoradiation. However, there are so far no prospective, multicentric data supporting the method.

Methods

The multicentric TMMR register study was designed to answer the question whether the concept of TMMR+tLNE could be transferred to different centers and surgeons without compromising the outstanding oncologic results described in a unicentric setting.

Results

In 116 patients with cervical cancer stages IB-IIA, (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics [FIGO] 2018), who underwent TMM
