Outcomes of patients with the preoperative diagnosis of cervical carcinoma FIGO IB to IIB and inappropriate radical hysterectomy

Objectives: Radical hysterectomy in patients with preoperative diagnosed macroinvasive cervical carcinoma (CX) might be impossible in a subset of patients. The aim of the study was the evaluation of clinicopathologic factors in those cases. Methods: In cohort of 668 CX, FIGO stage IB1 to IIB, 29 cases (4.3%) were evaluated regarding clinicopathologic factors and the causes for inappropriate radical hysterectomy. All patients received combined adjuvant radiation therapy. Results: During a median follow-up time of 123 months [95% CI: 82–164 months], 55.2% of the patients died of the disease.
