Zusammenfassung

Objectives: Pelvic lymph node involvement is a well recognised prognostic factor in cervical carcinoma (CX). Limited knowledge exists about extracapsular spread (ECS) of the metastases. Methods: 256 CX (FIGO stage IB1 to IIB) with pelvic lymph node involvement were evaluated regarding the occurrence of extranodal spread of the metastatic deposits outside the lymph node capsule (ECS), determined on standardized handled lymphadenectomy specimens, regarding their prognostic impact during a median follow-up time of 62 months (95%-CI 51–73 months). Results: ECS was seen in 30.9% (79/256) of the cases. Occurrence of E…
