Abstract:
New methods of staging (MRI, laparoscopic surgery) and therapy (concomitant radio-chemotherapy, debulking of diseased nodes), with a trend towards the reduction of the aggressivity of surgical procedures (minimal access surgery, ovarian preservation, reduction of the extent of radical hysterectomy, uterine conservation) may and should by integrated in new therapeutic protocols. As a consequence, the management of invasive cervical cancer becomes even more multidisciplinary and specialized.
