ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
A randomized non-inferiority trial showed worse survival in women with early-stage cervical cancer treated with radical hysterectomy by minimally invasive approach compared to laparotomy; the impact of surgical approach on survival following radical trachelectomy is unknown.OBJECTIVE:
To examine oncologic outcomes in women with early-stage cervical cancer who underwent robotic or vaginal radical trachelectomy at Canadian cancer centers with the highest volumes of radical trachelectomy procedures. STUDYDESIGN:
Retrospective multi-centre cohort analysis which includes patients who had surgery between 2006 and 2019. Women with International FIGO 2009 stage IA-IB cervical cancer who underwent radical trachelectomy and lymph node assessment were grouped by surgical approach (vaginal versus robotic surgery).RESULTS:
A total of 197 patients were included from 4 regional referral centres. 56 women underwent robotic radical trachelectomy and 141 underwent vaginal radical trachelectomy. All patients had lymph node assessment by a minimally invasive technique. Median age was 32 years, median tumor size was 12 mm, and median depth of invasion was 5 mm. Recurrence-free survival was 97% in both groups at a median follow-up of 57 months. On multivariable analysis, after adjusting for previously chosen confounders (high risk pathologic criteria, tumor size, and LVSI) there was no statistically significant difference in PFS between the 2 groups (HR 2.1, 95%CI 0.3-7.1, p = 0.5). Tumor size larger than 2 cm (HR 9.4, 95%CI 2.8-26, p = 0.003) was the only variable predictive of recurrence.CONCLUSION:
Survival outcomes were excellent in both cohorts of patients undergoing robotic vs. vaginal radical trachelectomy. The surgical approach was not significantly associated with risk of recurrence after adjusting for clinically important confounders.Palavras-chave
