Extrapelvic lymph node metastases in cervical carcinoma.

H J Buchsbaum

    American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology
    |April 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Para-aortic lymph node excision during preradiation therapy for invasive cervical carcinoma revealed a 33% metastasis rate in Stage IIIB. This surgical staging is valuable for advanced cervical cancer treatment planning.

    Area of Science:

    • Gynecologic Oncology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Advanced cervical carcinoma often presents with challenging staging.
    • Accurate staging is crucial for effective treatment planning and patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic value of preradiation celiotomy and para-aortic lymph node excision in advanced cervical carcinoma.
    • To determine the incidence of para-aortic and visceral metastases in this patient population.

    Main Methods:

    • One hundred fifty patients with invasive cervical carcinoma underwent preradiation therapy celiotomy and para-aortic node excision.
    • Para-aortic lymph node status was histologically assessed.
    • A subset of patients with positive para-aortic nodes underwent subsequent scalene lymph node excision.
    • Visceral metastases were documented.

    Main Results:

    • Histologically confirmed metastases were found in 33% (34/102) of para-aortic nodes in Stage IIIB patients.
    • In patients with positive para-aortic nodes, 34.8% (8/23) had positive scalene nodes.
    • Sixteen patients had visceral metastases, including bowel and liver involvement.

    Conclusions:

    • Pretreatment celiotomy with para-aortic lymph node excision is a valuable tool for staging advanced cervical carcinoma.
    • Positive para-aortic nodes warrant further investigation, including scalene node sampling.
    • This comprehensive staging approach aids in optimizing treatment strategies for pelvic-confined advanced cervical cancer.
