The clinical outcome of patients with stage Ia1 and Ia2 squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix: a Cooperation Task Force (CTF) study.

Abstract

Conization can represent the definite treatment for patients with Stage Ia1 squamous cell cervical cancer, if cone margins and apex are disease-free. For patients with Stage Ia2 cervical cancer extrafascial hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy might be an adequate standard therapy, although the need for lymph node dissection is questionable.
