Comparison of recurrence patterns in cervical cancer patients with positive lymph nodes versus negative.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to compare patterns of recurrence in 2009 FIGO Stage IB-IIA (T1b N0 M0 -T2a N0 M0 ) cervical cancer patients with cN0 and cN1. The epidemiological and clinical data of 1352 patients who had undergone radical hysterectomy and systematic lymphadenectomy with cervical cancer treated from January 2008 to April 2019 at a tertiary teaching hospital were retrospectively collected. The primary aim was to discover the lymph node status-dependent patterns and time of recurrence. Tumor recurrence and death were significantly less common in patients with cN0 than cN1. In addition, the length of time to recurrence (median 60 months cN0 vs. 43 months cN1, p < 0.001) and death (median 84 months cN0 vs. 68 months cN1 p < 0.001) were significantly longer in cN0 versus cN1 patients
