Abstract
There was no significant difference in survival when patients were compared by cell type or procedure, suggesting that survival of patients with microinvasive adenocarcinoma is not improved by utilizing more invasive surgical methods. Regardless of histology, the frequency of nodal involvement was very low among both groups, supporting an overall excellent prognosis for all patients with microinvasive disease. We submit these data as evidence that preoperative planning of more conservative techniques is appropriate, not just for those with squamous histology or who desire future fertility, but for all patients with microinvasive cervical disease.
