Abstract
OBJECTIVE Evaluation of the management by first brachytherapy followed by radical hysterectomy (Wertheim type) compared to radical hysterectomy alone (Wertheim type) for the treatment of IB2 cervical cancer. METHODS Data from women with histologically proven FIGO stage IB2 cervical cancer treated between April 1996 and December 2016 were retrospectively abstracted from twelve French institutions with prospectively maintained databases. RESULTS Of the 211 patients with FIGO stage IB2 cervical cancer without lymph node involvement included, 136 had surgical treatment only and 75 had pelvic lymph node staging and brachytherapy followed by surgery. The surgery-only group had significantly more adjuvant treatment (29 vs. 3; p = 0.0002). A complete response was identified in 61 patients (81%) in the brachytherapy group. Postoperative complications were comparable (63,2% vs. 72%, p = 0,19) and consisted mainly of urinary (36vs. 27) and digestive (31 vs 22) complications and lymphoceles (4 vs. 1). Brachytherapy had no benefit in terms of progression-free survival (p = 0.14) or overall survival (p = 0.59). However, for tumors of between 20 and 30 mm, preoperative brachytherapy improved recurrence-free survival (p = 0.0095) but not overall survival (p = 0.41). This difference was not observed for larger tumors in terms of either recurrence-free survival (p = 0.55) or overall survival (p = 0.95). CONCLUSION Our study found that preoperative brachytherapy had no benefit for stage IB2 cervical cancers in terms of recurrence-free survival or overall survival. For tumor sizes between 2 and 3 cm, brachytherapy improves progression-free survival mainly by reducing pelvic recurrences without improving overall survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) is a prognostic factor in the existing TNM classification system. The present meta-analysis assessed the role of LVSI in predicting the prognosis of stage IA to IIB cervical cancer (CC). MATERIALS AND METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library electronic databases were searched to determine relevant articles published in the English language. Our search deadline was May 2022. Critical Appraisal of Prognostic Studies was used to assess the quality for each article. Pooled hazard ratios (HRs) were used to evaluate the performance of LVSI in prognosis prediction. RESULTS We enrolled 8 studies involving 25,352 patients published after 2010. Thus, high LVSI was an unfavorable factor in predicting overall survival (HR, 2.08; 95% confidence interval, 1.63-2.66; P = .006) and disease-free survival (HR, 2.20; 95% confidence interval, 1.79-2.70; P = .000) for patients with CC. However, the disease-free survival and overall survival were significantly different on univariate analysis based on the subgroup analysis stratified by analysis method, but no obvious heterogeneity was found across diverse articles. CONCLUSIONS The present study showed that LVSI predicts the poor prognostic outcome of stage IA to IIB CC. However, well-designed clinical articles should further assess the independent prognosis prediction performance of LVSI in CC.

Abstract
(1) This study aims to evaluate the overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survivals (RFS) and assess disease recurrence of early-stage cervical cancer (ESCC) patients treated with minimally invasive surgery (MIS). (2) This single-center retrospective analysis was performed between January 1999 and December 2018, including all patients managed with MIS for ESCC. (3) All 239 patients included in the study underwent pelvic lymphadenectomy followed by radical hysterectomy without the use of an intrauterine manipulator. Preoperative brachytherapy was performed in 125 patients with tumors measuring 2 to 4 cm. The 5-year OS and RFS rates were 92% and 86.9%, respectively. Multivariate analysis found two significant factors associated with recurrence: previous conization with HR = 0.21, p = 0.01, and tumor size > 3 cm with HR = 2.26, p = 0.031. Out of the 33 cases of disease recurrence, we witnessed 22 disease-related deaths. Recurrence rates were 7.5%, 12.9%, and 24.1% for tumors measuring ≤ 2 cm, 2 to 3 cm, and > 3 cm, respectively. Tumors ≤ 2 cm were mostly associated with local recurrences. Tumors > 2 cm were frequently associated with common iliac or presacral lymph node recurrences. (4) MIS may still be considered for tumors ≤ 2 cm subject to first conization followed by surgery with the Schautheim procedure and extended pelvic lymphadenectomy. Due to the increased rate of recurrence, a more aggressive approach might be considered for tumors > 3 cm.

Abstract
PURPOSE To analyze the clinical outcomes and the safety of preoperative high-dose-rate (HDR) image-guided adaptive brachytherapy (IGABT) followed by minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in the multidisciplinary management of early-stage cervical cancer. METHODS AND MATERIALS Medical records of all consecutive patients with early-stage cervical cancer treated at our institution between 2012 and 2018 with preoperative IGABT in a multidisciplinary approach were reviewed. Treatment schedule was pelvic node dissection, preoperative IGABT followed 6-8 week later by MIS hysterectomy. RESULTS Seventy patients with cervical cancer FIGO stages (IB1 18.6%, IB2 75.7% and IIA1 5.7%) were treated by preoperative HDR brachytherapy. With a median follow-up of 37.4 months [95% confidence interval, 32.1-39.7 months] isolated vaginal vault recurrence was not observed, 3 pelvic relapses were reported (4.3%). None of patients received postoperative radiotherapy (EBRT) or radiochemotherapy. The estimated 3-year local and pelvis relapse free survival for the entire population were respectively 98% [95% confidence interval, 89%-100%] and 90% [80%-96%]. The estimated 3-year disease-free survival (DFS) for the entire population was 88% [77-94%]. The 3-year overall survival (OS) rate was 97% [88%-99%]. Microscopic vaginal resection margin (R1) was observed in one patient ([1].4%). Lymph-vascular space invasion (LVSI) was found found in 6 (8.6%) patients. Forty-eight late complications in 36 patients (51.4%) were observed. Five (7.1%) grade 3 vaginal wound dehiscence toxicities were observed. Urinary and gastrointestinal toxicities were grade 1-2. No grade 4-5 complications were observed. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative image-guided adaptive brachytherapy followed by minimally invasive surgery allows high local control, reduces positive surgical margins and rates of lymph-vascular space invasion avoiding adjuvants treatments. Surgical approaches must be discussed with patients including preoperative brachytherapy as a down-staging treatment.

Pre-operative surgical algorithm: sentinel lymph node biopsy as predictor of parametrial involvement in early-stage cervical cancer. Int J Gynecol Cancer 2020; 30:1317-1325. [DOI: 10.1136/ijgc-2020-001586] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2020] [Revised: 06/09/2020] [Accepted: 06/11/2020] [Indexed: 11/04/2022] Open
Abstract
IntroductionRadical hysterectomy is the gold standard in the management of early-stage cervical cancer. Parametrectomy aims to remove occult disease but is associated with significant surgical morbidity. Avoiding unnecessary parametrectomy in a subset of patients at low risk of parametrial involvement may decrease the incidence of such morbidity. The purpose of this study was to identify patients at low risk of parametrial involvement in early-stage cervical cancer potentially eligible for less radical surgery based on pre-operative criteria and sentinel lymph node (SLN) status.MethodsWe performed an ancillary analysis of data from two prospective trials on sentinel node biopsy for cervical cancer (SENTICOL I and II). Patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) IA–IIA cervical cancer who underwent primary radical surgery and bilateral SLN mapping were identified between 2005 and 2012 from 25 French oncologic centers. Patients who underwent pre-operative brachytherapy or did not undergo radical surgery (simple trachelectomy, simple hysterectomy, or lymph node staging only) were excluded.ResultsOf 174 patients who fullfiled the inclusion criteria, 9 patients (5.2%) had parametrial involvement and 24 patients (13.8%) had positive SLN. Most patients had 2018 FIGO stage IB1 disease (86.1%) and squamous cell carcinomas (68.9%). Parametrial involvement was significantly associated with tumor size ≥20 mm on pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (adjusted odds ratio (ORa) 9.30, 95% CI 1.71 to 50.57, p=0.01) and micrometastic or macrometastatic SLN (ORa 8.98, 95% CI 1.59 to 50.84, p=0.01). Of 114 patients with tumors <20 mm on pre-operative MRI and negative SLN after ultrastaging, only one patient had parametrial involvement (0.9%). By triaging patients with both of these criteria in a two-step surgical procedure, unjustified and contra-indicated radical hysterectomy would have been avoided in 65.5% and 8.6% of cases, respectively.ConclusionsLess radical surgery may be an option for patients with bilateral negative SLN after ultrastaging and tumors <20 mm. SLN status should be integrated into the decision-making process for tailored surgery in early-stage cervical cancer.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The LACC (Laparoscopic Approach to Cervical Cancer Trial) study, released in 2018, described oncological findings in favour of open surgery compared to the minimally invasive pathway in the management of early stage cervical cancers. Our aim was to assess the impact of this study on surgical practices in France. METHOD Online questionnaire, consisting of 13 questions addressed to gynecology oncology french society (SFOG) surgeons. RESULTS Forty questionnaires were collected. The median annual number of radical hysterectomy was 5 (0-20). Prior to the study, 92.5 % of cervical cancer patients had radical hysterectomy by minimally invasive surgery. In case of laparoscopy or robot, the uterine manipulator was used in 67.6 % and the colpotomy was performed intra-abdominally (78.4 %). After the LACC study, 60 % changed their practice. Open surgery was favored by 75 % of those who modified their practice. Among those continuing to perform minimally invasive surgeries, the manipulator and the intracorporeal colpotomy were discontinued. One-third of surgeons have changed their surgical practice for endometrial cancer in parallel. CONCLUSION The results of the LACC study led to a change in surgical practices with an increase in open surgery and a stop in the use of the uterine manipulator and the laparoscopic/robotic intracorporeal colpotomy in the surgical management of early stage of cervical cancer.
