212 Routine hysterectomy should not be performed after radiotherapy end in women with endocervical adenocarcinoma

Abstract

An ART sparing the uterine arteries and hypogastric plexus was performed. Surgical radicality was compared with an historical control group of C1 radical hysterectomies. The OS& DFS rates, complications, pregnancies, recurrences, and follow-up,were analyzed. Results The ART was performed in 25/27 patients (95,2%). Age: 27,5 years (25-35). Five patients received NCH. In 2 cases the procedure had to be completed with a C1RH because of positive margins in the surgical specimen. Radicality (surgical specimen): tumor size 2,36 (1,-4,1) cm; Vaginal length 2,62 (0,8-3,1) cm; Right parametrium 3,2 (1,8-3,9) cm; left parametrium 3,04 (2,3-3,5) cm; cervix length 2,8 (2,3-3,3) cm; Lymph nodes 13,5 (2-22). No statisticaly differences were observed in surgical radicality between ART vs C1RH. Complications: 1 case of dyspareunia + cervical polyposis. 1 case of dysmenorrhea. Four pregnancies were observed. Three healthy newborns and 1 abortion were registered,all in NCH cases). Recurrences: 2/27 (8,4%). Deaths: 2/ 27 (7,3%). DFS & OS: 92,5%. Follow-up: 127 months (85-180). Conclusions The ART sparing the uterine arteries and hypogastric plexus (C1 ART), showed to be feasible and oncologicaly safe. This variant of ART, could be considered as an alternative to C1RH for these initial FIGO stages.
