Effect of pelvic radiotherapy on patients with stage IB‑IIA cervical cancer after radical hysterectomy: A single‑center retrospective study.

ABSTRACT: The effects of post-operative adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) on intermediate-risk patients with cervical cancer have not been fully elucidated. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the impact of RT on intermediate-risk cervical cancer. The data of 112 patients with stage IB and IIA cervical cancer treated with radical hysterectomy between January 2009 and December 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and the frequency of adverse events were compared between patients with and without adjuvant RT (RT⁺ and RT^-, respectively). Subgroup analyses of PFS based on tumor size, cervical stromal invasion, lymphovascular space invasion and histology [squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) vs. non-SCC] were performed. Among th
