Abstract
Our results show that many women who have undergone a radical trachelectomy present with distress and reproductive concerns that persist for up to 6Â months postoperatively. Concerns about conception appear to decrease following surgery; however, concerns about pregnancy appear to increase post trachelectomy itself. This pilot study reflects the first preliminary data from an active ongoing study prospectively collecting information over 2Â years from newly diagnosed stage I cervical cancer patients undergoing radical trachelectomy.
