Surgical Handling of Fertility-preserving Treatments for Cervical Adenocarcinomas

Despite a growing body of literature on the subject, there is still uncertainty regarding direct comparisons between different conservative surgical techniques for cervical adenocarcinomas. In particular, it remains unclear whether fertility-sparing surgery for cervical adenocarcinomas - characterized by skip lesions - can ensure optimal disease control while achieving adequate obstetric outcomes.

For this reason, a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature, along with an analysis of our center's data, is warranted. This approach will allow a critical, comparative evaluation of the efficacy of the different techniques (conization, simple trachelectomy, and radical trachelectomy) and the identification of prognostic factors to guide therapeutic choice.

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Recurrence rate

    Time frame: 5 years

    The recurrence rate is defined as the proportion of patients who develop disease recurrence confirmed by imaging or histopathologic evaluation after FSS.

  2. Disease free survival

    Time frame: 5 years

    Disease-free survival is defined as the time from surgery until the first documented recurrence.

  3. Overall survival

    Time frame: 5 years

    Overall survival is measured as the time from surgery to death from any cause,

Secondary outcomes

  1. pregnancy rate

    Time frame: 5 years

    Pregnancy rate is defined as the proportion of patients who achieve a clinically confirmed pregnancy among those attempting conception

  2. live birth rate

    Time frame: 5 years

    Live birth rate is defined as the percentage of pregnancies that result in a live birth.
