Cervical Cancer: Epidemiology • Globally cervical cancer is the second most cancer among women • 5,00,000 new cases & 2,75,000 deaths/year • 10% of all cancer related deaths in women • The most common cancer in women in India • ~1,32,000 new cases / year and 74-100 deaths / year • Every 7 minutes a woman dies of cervical cancer
Staging of cervical cancer FIGO (2008) Staging For Cervical Cancer: Clinical staging using examination under anesthesia, standard basic radiology including X-ray chest. Value of modern radiological investigations: • CT scan:- R-P lymph nodes. High specificity and low sensitivity. • MRI:- Equal to CT scan for R-P evaluation. More accurate for assessment of cervical tumor and surrounding tissue. • PET scan:- More accurate to detect LN metastases.
FIGO Staging Stage I Carcinoma confined to cervix Stage IA1 Stromal invasion upto 3mm in depth & 7mm in width. Stage IA2 Stromal invasion 3-5 mm in depth & 7mm in width. Stage IB Clinical lesions confined to the cervix or pre-clinical lesions >stage IA2 Stage IB1 Lesions 4 cm Stage IB2 Lesions > 4 cm FIGO 2008
FIGO Staging…. FIGO stage Definition Stage IIA Involvement of upper 2/3rd of vagina Stage IIA1 Lesions 4 cm Stage IIA2 Lesions > 4 cm Stage II B Involvement of medial parametrium Stage IIIA Involvement of lower 1/3rd of vagina Stage IIIB Involvement of parauptoLPW/HN Stage IVA Bladder &/or bowel involvement Stage IVB Distant metastasis
Basic Principles of Management of Cervical Cancer • All stages of cervical cancer can be treated by radiation therapy • Concurrent chemo-radiation is superior to radiation alone • FIGO stages I-IIA cervical cancer are amenable to primary surgical treatment • Adjuvant Rx may be required after Sx

Pelvic LN Metastasis in Early Cervical Ca Stage IA1 <0.5% Stage IA2 8% (0-13%) Stage IB 12-20% Stage IIA 20-38%
Post-operative Morbidity • Febrile morbidity • Bladder dysfunction • Fistulae – VVF, UVF • Ureteric stenosis • Neuropathies • Thrombo-embolism • Lymphocele • Lower limb edema • GI complications
Prognostic Factors & Adjuvant Rx • Lymph node metastases • Parametrial involvement • Positive surgical margins • Deep stromal invasion • Lymph-vascular space invasion (LVSI) • Tumor size > 4 cm

Fertility Preserving Surgeries • Radical resection of the primary tumor with an adequate clear margin +/- lymphadenectomy Types of surgery Stage of the disease • Conization Stage IA1 without LVSI • Conization with BPLND Stage IA1 with LVSI • Radical Trachelectomy with BPLND Stages IA2-IB1, IA1 with LVSI Trachelectomy Lymphadenectomy Vaginal Laparoscopic Extra-peritoneal Abdominal
Radical Trachelectomy - Dargent et al (1994) described the technique. Eligibility criteria: • Desire to preserve fertility. • Upto FIGO stages IB1( <2cm). • Limited endo-cervical involvement. • No evidence of pelvic lymph node metastasis.

Radical trachelectomy-Obstetric considerations • Contraception for 6-12 mths. • ↑second trimester abortions, premature rupture of membrane, choriamnionitis, and preterm deliveries. • Delivery by elective classical caesarean section.

Ovarian Preservation & Transposition Risk of Ovarian Metastases in Early Cervical Ca: • SCC 0.5% (4/770) • Adenocarcinoma 1.7% (2/121) • Adeno-squamous 0 (0/99) Sutton et al. Am J Obstet Gynecol. 1992
Ovarian Transposition Ovaries are detached from the uterus along with its blood supply and transposed in an area away from the radiation field, generally in the para-colic gutters abovethe pelvic brim. Drawbacks of Ovarian Transposition:- • 25% risk of benign ovarian cysts. • 50% ovarian failure. • Risk of occult metastasis
Role of Sentinel Node Mapping • First draining lymph node of an anatomical region • Helps in tailoring the extent of surgery. • Techniques:Peri-tumoral injection of blue dye and/or radioactive tracer. • Extensively used in melanoma, breast and vulvarCa. • Still experimental in Cervical Cancer!
Role of minimally invasive surgery in the management of cervical cancer • Laparoscopic Radical Hysterectomy (LRH). • Laparoscopic Assisted Radical Vaginal Hysterectomy (LARVH). • Laparoscopic surgical staging.
Chemo-Radiotherapy in Ca Cervix • Combination of CT and RT is superior to RT alone. • Chemotherapy: Cisplatin 40mg/m2/wk X 5-6 wks • Radiation therapy: Combination of TELETHERAPY & BRACHYTHERAPY • TELETHERAPY (EXTERNAL BEAM RADIATION THERAPY) • BRACHYTHERAPY (INTERNAL RADIATION) • INTRACAVITARY LDR HDR • INTERSTITIAL LDR HDR

Conclusions • All stages can be treated with RT • Concurrent CT-RT is superior to RT alone • Surgery is the treatment of choice for early-stage cervical cancer. • Adjuvant treatment is recommended in patients with poor prognostic factors. • Preservation of fertility is possible in selected patients.
